Would you like to work with Diary of a Chain Stitcher? If you feel you offer a relevant product or service that my readers would be interested in and would like exposure to thousands of sewing and craft enthusiasts worldwide I offer various sponsorship options at affordable rates.

About:

I have been writing Diary of a Chain Stitcher about my sewing journey for almost ten years and the blog has developed a loyal following. Due to the surge in popularity of sewing in recent years the following is ever increasing and I still get a lot of traffic from new visitors and people who want to learn how to sew. I was the first UK blogger to join the Mood Sewing Network in February 2014, have enjoyed writing for and being featured in a variety of sewing related publications and have worked on the last four series of The Great British Sewing Bee. The focus of my blog is women's dressmaking although I occasionally write about sewing for men, other crafts and my work in the theatre industry as a costume supervisor. My readers are mainly women from all across the world and are of mixture of skill levels and ages. They are interested in learning about and trying new fabrics, patterns and sewing techniques as well as a variety of other crafts. I am passionate about supporting creativity, small independent businesses and other people who are passionate about making things.
