Craft blogs?

[MudAndGlitter]

What ones are interesting? Im quite interested in fabric, soft toys and cushions etc but I dont know where to look for blogs!

Pretty Mades All In A Row is very good.

Do you use Pinterest to find blogs? I also have craft gawker on my phone which does a round up of the latest stuff on craft blogs and often has stuff like that (but not nearly as good as Pinterest IMO!).

You could take a look at mine which I just started. Feedback (both :) and would be welcomed! :)

I like it. Are taggies easy to make? I'm a complete beginner so unsure where to start.

Really easy. I've only started sewing in the past year or so - and have made loads of things recently for friends and family. Taggie blanket was very simple - hopefully the tutorial is straightforward? If you do give it a go and get stuck, let me know and I'll point you in the right direction (if I can!) :)

I agree Pinterest is good and plain old fashioned Googling phrases like 'sewing blog' or 'craft' blog will throw up lots of other good ones. Add the word tutorial and you will get some freebie instructions for things as well.

Or if you find a blog you like, look at how the blogger follows themselves and you usually find like minded crafters and their blogs to have a look at.

As well as these there are several directories out there - this one - Blog Catalogue and UK Craftblog are good. I am registered with both as this is my blog which is very much a work in progress - I am still trying to refine what it is exactly I want to blog about. I don't have much traffic at the moment so I need to get more pro-active with it or I might as well not bother! I hope you don't mind the shameless plug. I've never done a plug before as I am not very good at self promotion so tend not tell anybody about it which, as a strategy for getting reader numbers up is not a good one!

Be careful though, it can take over your life, looking for new blogs and you end up looking at loads of wonderful things and not getting any actual crafting done yourself!

I'd second Pinterest being a good place to start.

You could look through my blog too, I completed 111 craft projects in 2011 and blogged about them all, not all of them are tutorials but there are lots of tutorials and inspiration and links to other blogs with good tutorials.

BBB you totally hit the nail on the head! My DH calls it virtual crafting and laughs a lot at me for doing it. I have banned myself from Pinterest until I make something. I do find it very therapeutic thought!
