It’s another Free Stuff Friday! This week, we have a great prize from Clover: Nancy Zieman’s Trace ‘n Create templates and shapers for E-Tablet Keepers, as featured in “Cool Tools” in the Oct/Nov Sew News.
Do you have an iPad, Kindle, Nook or other tablet? A case or cover is important for protecting your device, but ready-made cases can be very pricey! Use the Trace ‘n Create templates to create your own personalized case for your iPad, Kindle, Nook or other eReader. The pre-cut shapers add a sturdy protective layer. As the holiday season approaches, a customized cover would also make a great gift for the techie on your list.

Tell us about your favorite sewing blogs, websites or online classes. On Monday, we’ll randomly select a winner from all the commenters. Good luck! And don’t forget, if you do have an e-reader or tablet, you can now view digital issues of Sew News, Sew it All and CME on the go!

I like Craftsy.com.
I love sew news blog, lazy girl design blog, American Sewing Guild, sulky thread, Brother site, Sewing With Nancy, Kay Woods.
I tape Nancy’s tv programs that are on WGVU and use them as my “sewing lessons” in my craft room where I have my tv & vcr. I also buy her books and DVDS when they are on sale at Joanne Fabrics.
CME, Sew New, Husqvarna Viking, Martha Pullen, Quilt University, Craftsy, and LQS web sites.
I like YouTube, accessible from many sources. Sew4home is extremely comprehensive. Patternreview.com is an excellent resource. The sewing forum on craigslist.org is interesting.
I have so many that I refer to, but I think my current favorite would have to be fashionsewingblog.com with Colleen G. Lea. She is fantastic, easy to understand and thorough. There are sew -alongs and plenty of YouTube videos. I also dvr Sewing With Nancy and watch her on wpt.com. Those are my two best.
I use Sew News, Pinterest, and Craftsy.com as my favorite sewing resources. Sometimes I search YouTube videos too for information.

My favorites are Burda Style, Thread magazine and website, Sew4Home.
I’m new to the online sewing sources and have started with Craftsy.com. Many years ago I started reading Sew News and it was great inspiration.
I use Pinterest the most lately, but I love Quilter’s Cache, and Erica B’s – DIY Style! I tried to make a case for my Tablet, but it was a miserable failure. Those templates would help tremendously!!
I’m always searching for new craft/sewing blogs and websites. I love pattern review, craftsy, oh, so many.
Burda and Sew New are my favorite sites
My fave online sewing resources list keeps growing! Among them are weallsew.com, sew4home.com, craftsy.com, nancyzieman.com & more. I’ve bought many Clover products over the years. Sew News magazine & online is at the top of my list.
So many, how do I decide. Tipnut.com has the best links to online sewing sites. I’ve downloaded so many, I will never in my lifetime be able to sew them all. LOL
I am a Tipnut.com junkie….I can spend hours pouring through their DIY projects!
Sew News, of course. American Duchess, Burda Style, Threads, Craftsy and Pinerest are all very inspiring.
I like Fashion Sew BlogTV on Youtube -
I use multiple sites, depending if I need help with sewing or quilting or embroidery. To many to list. Enjoy Nancy’s program. She does a little of everything.
I use google a lot. I google what I want to find information about and start searching web sites.
I love the internet thanks to all of the different places I can go to.
I like craftsey but there are a bunch more that I love too! Ty!!
Pinterest. I’m painfully addicted.
I love crafty.com and sewing with Nancy
on facebook
Sew News, Husqvarna, Singer, Craftsy, Sew4Home, We All Sew, You Tube, Burda Style, and the blogs that I follow.
Ah, some many blogs so little time, my main sites are Quilting Daily, Pinterest, Nancy Zieman, and we all sew to name a few.
Sew News, Husqvarna Viking, Pinterest and many more!
This looks very cool! Would love a chance to win it and try them out. This could really make a dent in my Christmas List!
I usually go to Sew News, Threads, We All Sew, Nancy Zieman, AllFreeSewing, Fabric.com, and lots of others. I will click on links on those sites, then others, until I realize that I’ve wasted a lot of sewing time.
