I love Sound of Music, and a few of my favorite things is one of my all-time favorite songs.
“Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things”
There’s a lot of information out there for new sewists.

A few of my Favorite Things on the Internet
It’s the worldwide web….obviously there are more resources out there than anyone can use. I did a version of this blog when I first started sewing. My opinion of the best sewing blogs has evolved. This is an update to that list from last year. In no particular order, of course.
- Melly Sews– My personal favorite at this time!!!
- learn to sew classes FREE
- patterns for FREE
- Tutorials
- Colette–
- Fitting– a textbook online Personalized Patterns: Fitting & Altering
- Clothing Patterns 101 – this site is amazing because they show you how to modify patterns to your specificity.
- Sewing Parts Online – videos of everything any seamstress wannabe could desire
- FREE classes from Craftsy, download them and hoard them. Their classes are not usually free.
- FREE patterns– Actually if you didn’t want to buy patterns, she has most things you would want on her site.
