new blog name ... hmmm

Several people have told me I need a "NAME" for my blog. OK, I can do that.  

Years ago when I started freelancing I was told to just add "Design" to my name to keep banking simple, among other things ... ah well, times change!

I've been blogging for a year and a half just using my name, I feel as if whatever blog name I come up with needs to have, at least, some of my name in it to make transition to a new name less confusing. In any case almost every cute sewing, stitching or designing name is already being used.

EXCEPT! my husband (aka the pun-meister) just suggested "Needling", which I kind of like.

So here are my three choices. I've set up a poll and I hope everyone who reads this blog will vote for their favorite.  It would be great to have my new name before I go to the American Sewing Expo this coming Thursday.

Andrea Sews

So, Schewe, Sew!

Needling




THANK YOU EVERYONE ... and please leave comments, if you have other ideas or opinions.

I just went through this so my sympathies. =D I really like sew schewe sew but it will be hard for people to remember how to spell the middle word sadly. So I think Needling (which is adorable) with the tag line 'andrea sews' would let u get both in there?

Is it really necessary? I think cutesy blog names are fine for hobby sewers, but your current name has a very professional sound to it. Either way, I'll still check out your posts.

Hi Andrea, I agree with Laura's comments above. I don't see anything wrong with your blog name and I like how it ties in with your branding for your pattern design work. If you add a new moniker, that connection becomes less clear.

Related, I discovered your blog a few weeks ago and I adore it! Even though I don't make many costumes (and certainly no Barbie dresses), I find following your process to be fascinating. Oh, and even though I don't sew costumes, I do own quite a few of your great patterns!

Don't see a need for you to change it. I voted for Andrea Sews.
