Calling all sewing enthusiasts!

[cinnamonbun]

I've just set up an online shop selling jersey fabrics for children's (and baby)clothes and I was wondering if anyone into sewing could tell me what websites (including blogs), magazines etc you use to give me ideas where I could advertise? Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Have you posted on Arts & Crafts? There are lots of sewing enthusiasts on there. I am too new to sewing to really help I'm afraid.

Hi emsyj,
Thanks for your tip but unfortunately I think it's against Mumsnet rules to do anything that could be seen as advertising on a thread

Sorry, I meant you could ask on Arts & Crafts what websites and blogs people generally use, rather than actually advertise on there! D'oh, should have been clearer.

Sew Hip is probably the best one, and the classified section in Vogue has a section for home- sewers (probably v expensive though.) If you have an ebay shop you could use that to drive traffic to your site, by including a business card when you send orders out.(Ditto etsy.) You could post your own sewing projects on Craftster- moderators whinge about people using their posts to advertise (as opposed to buying advertising space) but everyone does that anyway.
I've visited a few sewing blogs but they're all pretty blah. Style Bubble is the only blog I keep coming back to, and it's obviously not about kidswear. Hope some of this rambling may be of use to you, and good luck!

Do you have a blog? They can be picked up in google searches and the google paid advertising is pretty good.

Are you on all the usual free directories?
