Hello talented sewing folks! Since makers tend to make more than one sort of thing, and we crafters need to stick together, here's a list of fellow creative communities for your navigation pleasure.

awesome, there's also two sewing and an embroidery community on sh.itjust.works if you haven't seen them.

Nice one, thanks, will investigate those once lemmyverse stops misbehaving for me :D

I won't be bumping this every time there's a minor change but fyi, added a ton more links including more sewing communities, soap, tatting, woodwork & quilting as well as more misc crafting communities too.

Remember if you have a project or a post that fits more than one, you can just crosspost! It's the little "two squares" icon underneath your post title, and cross-posting is another way you can help people find their way to related places 😊
