Share Your Makes with #indiesewing!

Just a quick post today to share an idea with you. One of my favourite parts of putting together the Indie Pattern Update post each month is looking through what you guys have been making and drawing inspiration from your creativity and crazy sewing skills! I hope you guys find the garments I share at the end of these posts as inspiring as I do.

I often think when I'm putting together this post that I must only see such a tiny proportion of all the fantastic garments sewn with patterns from independent designers and wish that there was an easier way to see more. I try to keep my eye on as many blogs as humanly possible but my blog roll is pretty jam packed each time I open Bloglovin' and it must be the same for many of you.

I've also developed a bit of an addiction to Instagram over the past few months, both for sharing bits and pieces of the sewing process which I don't think are deserving of a full blog post as well as a quick visual way of keeping up to date with what everyone else is up to. I really enjoy searching sewing related hashtags and finding new people to follow. It was whilst browsing one day that I thought wouldn't it be great to have a hashtag for garments the sewing blog community makes using indie sewing patterns?! That way both you and I can search for the hashtag whenever we feel the need for a bit of inspiration and by posting our makes with this hashtag we create a huge pool of indie related makes to browse and enjoy.

I'm going to keep it nice and simple and suggest we use #indiesewing, both on Twitter and Instagram. I can't wait to find some new to me blogs!

What are you sewing at the moment?
