Hi Heather,
I’m a not-so-new follower of Sewing Loft, just simply love your tutorials 🙂
In terms of sewing, my personal goal for 2015 is to have a more efficient wardrobe, and I’d love to have most of them handmade. So perhaps I’d like to learn tips on how to plan a simple & versatile handmade wardrobe.
Thanks & happy new year!
That’s an awesome goal Dieni! I can totally help with that.
Happy New Year!

How about starting off simple… I sewed in Home Ec years ago.and have done some sewing and small quilt projects like potholders and Mug Rugs.. Pin Cushions ? and I have Doll clothes cut out for a Cabbage Patch Baby I need to work on… Nudge me ! ! !
Hello, Heather. There are two things you could do to make your blog even more effective for me. First, do you have a search box for your tutorials? If you do, could you make it more prominent? If you don’t, could you add one?
Second, I love your lists. They always include great things. Could you break them into smaller bites? It’s great to have 100 tips for sewing, for example, but 100 is overwhelming! If you presented them 10 at a time, I could thoroughly explore them all. Yes, I could look back the next day. The “problem” is that you and all my favorite bloggers will have something new the next day. Isn’t that a great problem? Anyway, your lists are always top drawer and deserve more attention than I can give them. Maybe you could do one day a week for the next 10 of your current list or something.
All that said, I want to tell you that I love your blog. You do a great job and you brighten my day. Thanks!

Happy new year Hope to get more tips for a addict sewist
Hi Heather, I am not so new, you are an inspiration for those of us in the UK. I would like some tips on making perfect button holes. This year I am retiring early to spend more time sewing! I have already signed up for a course in pattern cutting. Can’t wait! Jane
So sweet Jane! I think buttonholes are a perfect thing to add on the list. Considered it inked in!

Happy New Year, Heather. I shrink when it comes to working with sheer fabrics and their seam and edge finishes. That would be something I would appreciate reading. Thanks for all your posts from our years past.
Piping and bias bindings! Buttonholes for dummies. Small, 2-3 hour projects( I love instant gratification!) love the blog! Love the cheerful vibe! Always happy to see it in my inbox!
Yes piping and bias bindings would be good, also finished seam allowances and hemming.
Happy new year! Do you use a serger? I need to find more tutorials on how to use mine as something other than a dust collector!! Lol some day that will happen!!
I do use my serger Josie and would be happy to include more projects using it.

Hi Heather, I would love to see more clothing ideas… I am not a quilter and I am tired of seeing all the quilting posts.
So yes, I would love to see more ideas for the family and myself. One thing more would be patterns for cotton slips, bras and camies… I have been searching for these for ever and cannot find them.
