Sewing is a magical experience, full of creativity that allows you to create the clothes and accessories you've always wanted. The "Avonlea" portal was established in order to enable you to learn how to use your home sewing machine, at home. There are many reliable online resource to learn how to use a sewing machine, but in most of them, the information is scattered randomly on many websites and
blogs. My main objective is to create a rich and organized learning space. In addition, I hope that this portal shall be a virtual meeting place for various individual who enjoy sewing in various levels, and it shall become a space for the exchange of ideas, providing tips and inspiration. If you have any questions, comments, and insights, feel free to contact me here. What is the source of the name, Avonlea? Avonlea is the place where Anne Shirley, the protagonist of the novel "Anne of Green Gables", written by L. Montgomery grow up. This is a feminine literary classic. The book describes a feminine world, with sewing, embroidery and other crafts, as an inseparable part of the protagonists' world. My love for this book is related to my love of crafts and of sewing in particular, and the connection between a sewing portal and Avonlea felt natural to me. It is true and it displays the atmosphere I view in this portal – an atmosphere of sharing, exchanging ideas, creativity and mutual help.
