There are awards that you are truly proud of - for me, it is the
Blogstar badge that Handmade Kultur recently awarded me. In this post, I want to say thank you!
SewSimple on Handmade Kultur
From the very beginning,
Handmade Kultur has been and still is a very important resource for me - you can find everything imaginable in the DIY field here. Plus sewing videos, recipes, ideas, sewing patterns - and tons of inspiration for every possible creative technique. Always freshly organized, seasonally oriented, and lovingly put together.
At this point, just a big WOW! - and also a huge thank you to the creators of Handmade Kultur!
When I started blogging back then, simply to share my love for sewing, everyone just gave a weary smile. ANOTHER blog? Another SEWING BLOG?
If I’m going to blog about something, it should be something I really know 100% about. From A - Z. Maybe something related to my day job. Or at least something about vegetarianism (though... ANOTHER cooking blog?).
Worse yet: I didn't even know anything about blogging itself.
How often do people want to read from me? How does website building work? And am I allowed to promote myself? - such questions really kept me busy at the beginning.
The one who ultimately showed me the direction - and still does - is you, dear blog reader. Or may I say: dear sewing friend?
Because we’ve known each other for a few years now. And we’re getting to know each other better and better. Because you dare to just send me a message, suggest topics, ask questions, or send pictures of sewing miracles you’ve conjured up using my patterns.
Maybe you’ll report that you’re looking forward to your first grandchild and want to
sew a baby nest for the newcomer. Or you ask me a question about the material for your chic new
foldover bag. Perhaps you’re simply happy about
Sedona, because you finally have a shirt in your closet that fits you and that you love 100%?!
No matter what or how: We stay in contact. And that is what I like most about blogging: I don't have to be perfect at it - you give me the opportunity to learn something new every day. Basically, we are both learning together, you and I. So we aren't just sewing friends - we are sewing colleagues! :)
And because you spur me on, ask questions, challenge me, give feedback, correct, inspire, test-sew, read, recommend, return, comment, share, try things out, and stay curious, this Blogstar belongs to you too!
To be heard, read, taken seriously, valued, and recommended - I cannot imagine any better feedback for my work.
That’s why I’m staying with it. With fire, creativity, passion - and a very big thank you to you!
Happy simple sewing
yours, Sabine
