Have you heard of Facebook or Twitter? I’m assuming you’ve got some vague idea of what those two sites are, since you have the savvy to be reading this blog right now. They are “social networking” sites where you can share photos, status updates, links, and a whole lot more.

So, why would we need/want yet another social networking site? Well, I don’t, unless it’s as cool as Pinterest!

Pinterest is a site based entirely on pictures. It’s wonderful for inspiration in all areas, not just sewing. I’ve been using it a lot, especially since I’ve gotten the itch to redecorate my house.

You can create “boards” to organize your ideas- like “New House”, “Wedding”, “Dream Sewing Room”. And you can upload pictures or add other user’s pictures to your boards.

You need an “invite” to join. You can request one at pinterest.com or send your e-mail address to us, and I’ll invite you! Then you set up an account and you can “follow” people’s pins- like us!

You’ll see all the neat stuff that we’re sewing or lusting after on our pin boards.  We’ll pin videos, tutorials, pictures of what we’re doing in our next class!  Check us out on Pinterest- you won’t be sorry!
