Press Release Body = ACTON, Mass., July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Home sewers have a hard
time sharing their creations -- whether they are clothes, accessories or home
decoration projects. Only other sewers truly appreciate the time, attention to
detail and different techniques which go into creating the one of a kind originals
they are able to make.

Enter PatternReview.com: Started over five years ago by sewing enthusiast and
software developer Deepika Prakash, the Web site has grown to over 100,000 members
who share their creations by photographing and reviewing the construction process
for their projects, thus allowing the other members in the global community to peek
in, learn and comment on their creations.

\"I love to sew because it lets me customize the fit of the clothes I want to wear -
and do so in the fabrics and styles I like. However, for a beginning sewer getting
started in this hobby can be a challenge,\" says Prakash. \"To sew effectively, you
have to get comfortable with a sewing machine, understand the properties of fabrics
and applicable sewing techniques, as well as choose sewing patterns that work for
your body type.\"

But when Prakash started sewing six years ago, she could not find a Web site that
provided this information in a structured and easy-to-follow way so she started
PatternReview.com. \"My sewing friends really liked the idea and used the site to
review sewing patterns they used for projects so that they could discuss the
results,\" she adds.

The site has since grown to contain more than 30,000 reviews, where members share
information and sew increasingly sophisticated garments. Along with reviews for
patterns, sewing machines and other products, the site also has an active discussion
board, themed sewing contests as well as interactive sewing classes taught by
subject matter experts.

MaryLynn, a PatternReview.com member since 2004, comments, \"I think in many ways, PR
is the cyberspace equivalent of the old-fashioned sewing circle -- women coming
together to sew and to share, to chat and to commiserate, and to plan and to
practice.\"
