Puget Sound Sewing and Craft

We are incredibly blessed here in the beautiful (albeit currently wet and cold) Pacific Northwest to have wonderful sewing resources. I've already gushed about this after my recent day trip/pilgrimage to Portland, but it really is true.

For example, we have the largest sewing machine dealership in the world, Quality Sewing and Vacuum. You'd think being a large operation would mean less personal service, but this is definitely not the case. I've been a customer for over 10 years (now I am an educational consultant for them) and I'm proud to be part of their organization.

To make it even better, we also have Pacific Fabrics, a local chain which began as a result of doing salvage (their original name is/was Pacific Iron and Metal). Their original 'outlet' still exists on 4th Avenue in Seattle. When I lived in Queen Anne, that was my 'local' fabric store, along with the incomparable Nancy's Sewing Basket.

Pacific Fabrics and Quality Sewing have teamed up to form a new blog and website designed to help inspire anyone who is interested in sewing, knitting, needle felting - you name it. It's called Puget Sound Sewing and Craft. I was recently asked to be a contributing blogger, and am looking forward to sharing tips, techniques. Check it out!
