Can I have a big cheer?
Sewing Translated is finally here! I started working on this project in January of 2015, so it's been in the making for a while!
What is Sewing Translated?
Sewing Translated is your dictionary for all things Sewing! Eventually, it will become a series of e-books, but its first volume: Fabrics is out now!
In this first volume you can find over 90 fabrics and fibers explained & translated into Dutch, French and English.
There's an
English version, with an English introduction & all the English terms in your table of contents for easy searching.
There's also a
Dutch version, with a Dutch introduction & all the Dutch terms in your table of contents and...
There's a
French version, with a French introduction & all the French terms in your table of contents.
Why did I wrote Sewing Translated?
You all know that I love sewing and that I love teaching!
Since I started sewing, it has become an international affair, with a dynamic and encouraging global sewing community – connecting with each other both on and offline. Talking to other sewing fanatics, I started noticing that a particular type of question kept cropping up: how do you say stretch lace in Dutch? What's the French for iron-on-interfacing? Having looked around unsuccessfully for a resource that would help figure out these sewing translation conundrums – and with Google translate not being much help when it comes to stitching terms – I decided it was time to bite the bullet and make one myself!
It's the teacher in me, I can't help myself!
You can check out some previews & buy the book over on Etsy!
I can't wait to here from you!
Happy Sewing!
