Where can I ask a sewing question?

A sewing community for garment, mending and machine-sewing questions — hobby-focused, with project-detail rules and no hustle spam.

r/sewing is for the hobby of sewing: machines, hand sewing, embroidery, quilting, mending and fitting questions. Project show-off posts need details; business and manufacturing questions are steered away.

Where to ask

r/sewing

Rules to know before posting:

  • Project show-off posts must use Project flair and include project details in the post or a first comment.
  • No selling, self-promotion, affiliate links or manufacturing-business questions.
  • Be civil; keep body talk focused on fitting the garment, not commenting on the person.
  • Limit flooding — generally one project and one question post per day.
  • Photos should focus on the sewing; no children in photos.
  • Moderators may remove content that breaks sitewide rules or harms the room.

Before you post

  • Include fabric type, pattern name and where the fit fails.

  • Commission or paid-alteration requests belong in commerce-oriented craft spaces, not here.
