YOU. \u00a0Your input is what makes our sewing community the best one there is. \u00a0We have our own sewing chat group on Facebook where you can happily chat all day about sewing without it all showing up on the feeds for your friends. \u00a0Making things as birthday presents? \u00a0You can share them here and ask for help or suggestions without the lucky recipient seeing it.<\/p>\n<p>Careful though, the group can be addictive &#8211; there is so much inspiration that you'll be spending more time on Facebook than sat at your sewing machine. \u00a0Come and join the best sewing chat group and share what you made, ask questions or help others with their sewing queries.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22564 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/chat.jpg\" alt=\"chat\" width=\"427\" height=\"573\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/chat.jpg 427w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/chat-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/chat-112x150.jpg 112w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 427px;
