Sewing clubs and message forums

There is nothing better than joining a sewing club to find out new techniques for making an item. Sewing clubs often meet at local sewing machine stores. If you have a local fabric shop or sewing center you can find out from them about local sewing groups and when and where they meet. Joining a club is not only a great way to meet fellow hobbyists but also a great way to network your sewing business.

If you don't have anything local, joining or visiting a sewing forum or message board is the next best thing. I recently joined a sewing forum and found it to have lots of great links to free patterns, free products for sewing and advice given out to fellow members that are having problems with sewing or their machines. Here is the sewing forum:
