main menu skip to content home links contact sewducky blog news posted by sewducky in sewing february 25 2018 in september this blog will be no more not a huge loss i don t hardly post i am changing over to a new blog to go along with a new phase in my life thanks for reading elaina leave a comment is the death of blogs killing the indie patterns posted by sewducky in postulating august 18 2015 huffpo and the guardian shout out blogs are dead new mediums take its place and in the sewing world we re starting to see less blogs and more instagrams but dead i m old enough to have been part of the livejournal trend i had a blog long before they were mainstream although neither of those were sewing related i ve worked at being the next great sewing blog on this thing in the past and i ve moved on from that goal why shouldn t blogging a friend of mine sews and he and i had seriously thought about starting an indie pattern line same one that tried out for project runway if you ve read other posts together or separate we hadn t decided blogging is a huge part of that because of the way it s set up these indie designers are your friends and blogging has a lot to do with that feeling if blogs are dying then it stands to reason that it ll catch up to the petri dish that is the sbc eventually the patterns will be less about the personality of the blogger and more about the pattern same reason ann person and kerstin martensson had successful indie companies all those years ago even now suede from pr made a clothing line and didn t go the indie route he went to simplicity with his patterns although we can argue he isn t the superstar nancy zieman person or martensson are were blogging started out as a way to livejournal with your own piece of the web and with sewing in general it turned into a sewing journal that people wanted to look at there will always be people that want to see what you do and people will always want to share what they are doing because they don t want someone to know they made their clothing or they don t know anyone that cares what they do so no blogging in this context won t die and it probably never will just the readership will change to those that like this sort of thing and this is only important to those that make money off of it otherwise they will move on to other mediums and will keep having to change as technology does but indie patterns like blogging will become specialized it will be less about the personality and more about the quality it will be intimate it won t be about having your patterns on the biggest blogs it won t be about the popularity contest and it won t be a big sleepover with 50 of your best friends but unlike mainstream blogging the sbc will stave the death off but eventually it ll go back to the old geocities days it ll be there but only those that really want to see it will when that happens then indie patterns will also see a decline of the companies and number because it ll be less about supporting a friend and more about the quality of the pattern 1 comment copa co op reopens posted by sewducky in inspiration february 3 2015 for the last 6 years erin of dressaday has been hosting a

after i was going to restart and i haven t done it yet my restart was planned during a time when i thought that i would have things settle down in the end my dad died the first of december and i am taking care of my mother full time there is a lot of tl dr in this but it has been a hard 4 or so years in my own life the blog obviously has suffered from this over the last few years i had thought to rebrand myself start trying to monetize and offer patterns for free or sale i hadn t really decided on the latter i know how to make something i want but i am not formally trained and i felt and in some ways still do feel that i could do it better then many of the indie companies out there then i started to really listen to people i knew people that sewed and gomi which i lurk there both pattern review and gomi really brought home that i am not a mean girl i am not going to play the game it takes to become part of the cool kids and i really don t want to live like this is my hs career all over again my dad s cancer and death of which he died cancer free brought home life is too short for stupid goals and for me this is a stupid goal but if you make good pdf indie patterns great i hope you get super successful at it because we need good indie designers after a friend of mine went to try out for project runway a short time ago and had about convinced me to go season 12 and 13 if you care i didn t i realized through all of that trying out process i did not get past the contract and making 2 samples and applying it to the blog and my own sewing too that i am not a fame whore i don t care if you know who i am or not my content will never be a lot i don t and won t produce things that are inferior to my skill and or won t wear to get content on this thing i don t know as much as i think i do so right now i enrolled in fashion design at college what it means for the blog is that i am exactly who i have always been and this blog is a journal that i can map my progress and have a place where i have the information i need to be better i hope you stick around through this leg of the journey elaina 3 comments follow blog via email enter your email address to follow this blog
