Isn’t that a fun word – Sewtionary? I’ve created a page for all the tutorial and how-to posts I’ve written so far, so they’re all in one easy-to-find place!
The more posts I write, the more that the older ones get buried in the archives. Especially since I wrote detailed posts on the making of the Twin Spruce Dress, it’s nice to be able to find all of the articles for reference.
Now there’s a dedicated Sewtionary page where all of the answers are in one place, sorted and alphabetized. As I write how-to posts, I’ll add them to the Sewtionary!
It will look something like this – click the screenshot below to visit the Sewtionary page:
I still have a ton to add to the page but what do you think so far… do you like it? Does it seem like a useful idea? Have any requests for the Sewtionary? Let me know in the comments!
fabulous idea. This blog keeps getting better and better!
Great idea! Definitions are very useful, especially for new sewers. Being able to refer back to where and how these products were used is ideal.
Awesome idea! Way nicer than having to shuffle through pages and pages of google search results ;) I’ll be checking it!
Great and ambitious idea! I’ll be sure to check in occassionally or when I need help.
you are so awesome…this will come in handy :)
Fab idea, (when I finally start using my own blog) I plan on having a page to do something similar to organise my completed projects (if for no other reason than so that i can myself find them quickly again LOL!).
Love it!
What a great resource. I needed something like this.
I think its a fantastic idea and will be so helpful…thank you!
Great idea – and how do you have time to do all this great stuff on your blog?
I am too easily distracted reading everyone else’s blog ! Must sew today !
Beth, I don’t know how, I just get excited about sewing and think up cool ways to share what I’m doing! I get these ‘aha’ moments now and then, so I’m happy to hear you guys like the idea!
And like @Claire (aka Seemane):, I want to be able to find the tutorial-type posts for my own reference too!
Thrilled that you guys like the idea. More Sewtionary entries and updates to come! :)
You have some wonderful tutorials and it will make it so much easier for people to reference with your Sewtionary. I applaud you for all the work you’re putting into this!
Thanks Irene! Glad you like it… and it’s not really work when you love what you’re doing! Which is how I feel about sewing and all things related :)
Great idea! This is not necessarily a request but a sharing of an interesting fact… Moving to the UK and starting my MA in fashion I am learning a few new words myself. What I know to be muslin fabric, they call calico; the muslin that one makes before making the actual garment is known here as a toile. Funny, huh?
This is great! I’m sure I’ll reference it a lot when I start teaching myself to sew in the near future. I just started a new job and am waiting for American Thanksgiving (late Nov) to allow myself to start playing with a sewing machine. It helps that I don’t have a sewing machine yet, but I found an inexpensive Singer with some decent reviews on sale at a warehouse store and I plan to pick it up today. (Bonus — fantastic return policy if I decide I really hate this machine. Not willing to shell out too much yet since I don’t know enough about what I want).
Great!! Thanks for doing this, I would like to be sewing ALL day and using all the tips, ideas and tutorials you have posted here.
I like to see this sewtionary, even there are several things I don’t know their name in spanish (I’m mexican living in mexico) with the pictures I have the idea and try to find it.
what a fantastic idea!! oh what a great reference, i’ll definitely be hitting this hard as i learn more and more about construction!
Love this idea– especially now that I have a smartphone and can easily access the internet while sewing to check!
