Sewing enthusiasts are the lifeblood of this community. They are individuals who derive immense joy and satisfaction from their wonderful sewing hobby. On Select Guild and the Society of Makers, these passionate crafters come together to learn, inspire, and support one another.


Learning and Growing Together

One of the most valuable aspects of the sewing community is the opportunity to learn and grow. Here, you can find a multitude of resources to help you fine tune your skills.

There are endless sewing opportunities to expand your knowledge.

Sewing projects are the building blocks of learning the wonderful skill of sewing.

Sharing the Love: Sewing Blogs and Tutorials

In the digital age, the sewing community extends beyond physical gatherings and real life classes. Sewing blogs are a popular way for enthusiasts to share their experiences, ideas, and expertise. On Select Guild you can create your own "Studio" and fill it with your own content or just read what others have posted. Whether you're looking for inspiration for your next project or seeking guidance on a specific sewing challenge, you'll find a wealth of information on Select Guild and the Society of Makers.

For those who prefer a more visual learning experience, sewing tutorials in video format offer step-by-step guidance. And we hope to bring these to the Society of Makers in the future. But for a more relaxed pace, please enjoy the many wonderful micro-blog sewing tutorials on Select Guild. You can find tutorials on everything from mastering the basics of machine sewing to creating intricate embroidery designs by hand.


Connecting in the Digital Age: Online Sewing Groups

The internet has revolutionized the way sewing enthusiasts connect and collaborate and share their ideas. On the Society of Makers our online sewing groups provide a virtual space where like-minded individuals can share their work, seek advice, and form lasting friendships. These digital communities are invaluable for those who may not have a local sewing club or sewing classes nearby.

A World of Fabrics and Notions

Every sewing project starts with the selection of the right materials. And we all love beautiful fabrics. Fabric and notions play a crucial role in bringing your sewing ideas to life. Whether you're hunting for the perfect fabric for a summer dress or searching for unique buttons to embellish a jacket, the Select Guild sewing community can offer guidance and recommendations.


Embracing Challenges and Celebrating Success

No journey is complete without its share of challenges and problems. In the sewing community, sewing challenges are a fun and motivating way to push your boundaries. These challenges typically involve creating a project based on specific criteria or a theme. They not only encourage creativity but also foster a sense of accomplishment when you overcome them. And if you really get stuck, you can simply ask a question of fellow sewing enthusiasts in the Makers Database.


The Beauty of Local Sewing Clubs and Meetups

While online communities are fantastic, there's something special about connecting with fellow sewists face-to-face. Local sewing clubs and sewing meetups provide opportunities to do just that. These gatherings often feature workshops, swap meets, and other events where you can bond with people who share your passion. So if you run a local sewing club, you can use the Society of Makers to promote your classes for free.
