Snippets from Colette Patterns

Colette Patterns is a nice site with patterns, tutorials, a blog, and a forum. The patterns seem pretty popular in the various sewing blogs that I’ve read (I haven’t tried any myself), and they have a charming vintage vibe to them. But the topic of this post is Snippets, their weekly email of sewing tips. I signed up for it relatively recently, and I like it — the emails are helpful little nuggets of information. Here are some of the Snippets that I’ve received:

• Sewing with plaids
• How to sew velvet (and other napped fabrics)
• 6 ways to get more out of your fabric stash
• Before you start
• 3 ways to improve your lighting
