Some that even bordered on troll fodder. I just ignore them. Neva evah feed a troll.<br /><br />That said where the heck is Belladonna? Now there is a SWOB who was nothing but helpful and knows her sewing stuff frontwards and backwards. She used to post on a quite a few sewing blogs awhile back. She would even post tutorials in comments.<br /><br />And now Complete Random Tangent:<br /><br />I just noticed my made up word, SWOBber, is real close to slobber.

My first project on it is a denim quilt. I spent two hours ripping jeans yesterday.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure I am not a swob! If I have any swobs on my blog they are too polite to admit it.

To all of you SWOB's out there, I'll quote the advice that Diana Rupp gives in S.E.W. Sew Everything Workshop that pushed ME over the edge 2 1/2 years ago: <br /><br />"Blog it like it's hot<br />There's a reason everybody and their grandma has a blog. Go to blogger.com and put in the keyword sewing to see what all the fuss is about. I can spend hours and hours drooling over the amazing things people make. Why not join the fun? Create a simple page and post a few details about yourself and the projects you've made. I'd love to see what you can do, too!" from p. 6 S.E.W Sew Everything WorkshopAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-56685756749164834332010-06-10T07:11:44.416-04:002010-06-10T07:11:44.416-04:00I nearly snorted my tea out of my nose this mornin...I nearly snorted my tea out of my nose this morning while reading this!

My blog is far too new for me to have encountered any SWOBs. Until very recently I used to be a SWOB but a nice one, perhaps a SWOB in awe?, enjoying a massive amount in bloggy inspiration from all over the world and I never thought I'd ever start a blog about anything, what would people want to know from me? Then I started getting more involved in the online sewing world and what do you know, I started a blog too and I really enjoy it even though I don't post every day :) There is hope for all the other SWOBs out there I am sure. I like to think they are just jealous of us but there is nothing wrong with being proud of your own work xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-79235100895581171042010-06-09T23:20:52.843-04:002010-06-09T23:20:52.843-04:00Hmm, I have a blog and recently started talking ab...Hmm, I have a blog and recently started talking about sewing, but haven't run across the SWOB yet.

But if I were to blog my sewing, there would be no words or pictures (or only nekkid ones). Rather like my existing blog. Not being a blogger, I'm not sure how well that would go over. See, it turns out I do have that SWOB false modesty thing going on! I suppose I could do a daily photo on my terrasse drinking coffee (this being Paris, sun would not be a daily occurrence) and reading your blog. As for the effortlessly élégante part, that would require too much effort on my part, and I remain,<br />la paresseuselaparesseusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750921981492271560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-40036108912244492142010-06-09T17:54:14.781-04:002010-06-09T17:54:14.781-04:00Y'know, it would be a pretty small universe of...Y'know, it would be a pretty small universe of readers if all of them were bloggers.sulymohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887228971839188556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-51504616819600727482010-06-09T17:49:29.982-04:002010-06-09T17:49:29.982-04:00I don't have SWOBs on my blog as it's new ...I don't have SWOBs on my blog as it's new and only about 3 people including my mom and 2 sisters read it. <br />But I'll take any advice I can to get better at sewing.
