I’m over at Sew Mama Sew today sharing my reflections on the home sewing (and craft) industry in 2015 and looking into the crystal ball to predict what might happen in 2016. Lots of interesting things happened this year. The indie pattern scene continued to expand causing us to seek ways to sift through and curate it. A quilt shop was named national small business of the year by the Small Business Administration. Etsy went public and several other big companies (namely Amazon and eBay) made a reach for a piece of the handmade marketplace pie.
I had a lot of fun reviewing all of this years happenings and thinking about what might unfold in 2016. Head on over to Sew Mama Sew and tell me what you think!

Hi Abby,
Applause for the predictions 🙂
If you don’t mind may I know what’s in for us in 2017. Just curious to know things earlier than others.
Regards,
Susan
