A Modern Sewing Blog.

Oh so many new things in the shop and online. We're still getting in lots of Christmas fabrics which is both fun and unsettling. I realize sewing takes time you can't wait until November or December to start all your Christmas sewing, but I'm still unwilling to imagine snow!
Snow Bird Batiks check it out HERE

25th And Pine from Moda click HERE for details
We also got in a brand new designer and collection. From WindHam comes the "Cooking Italiano" collection. It was love at first sight for me. This fall I'm remodeling my kitchen (yeah!) and I am making new cafe curtains out of this stuff! It's so great, and completely retro which fits me like the proverbial glove. You can find it in the store or online HERE.

We've also gotten in new Ghastlies! This stuff just kills me. So clever and dark. Very fun. Click HERE for more.

Finally the Kit of the Week that we previewed last weekend. $27 dollars for everything you see here.
And we're putting an extra kit on sale this week!

This is such a sweet quilt and would look amazing in a little (or big) girls room. On sale for $106. Check it out HERE. Or just the pattern HERE.

Happy Sewing friends.

Kit of the Weekend

Sewing friends I am so sorry that this was not posted earlier in the week. We were having major website problems (you should see my backlog of inventory!) So instead of a kit of the week we're featuring a Kit of the Weekend. It's really a preview for next weeks kit! This weekend and next weeks kit is another mini quilt. Includes the pattern, fabric and backing.
Little Bites makes me want a snack while sewing!

This is my birthday dress I was making and showing sneak peaks of. A summer strawberry dress (100% cotton knit so perfect for warm weather), made using Colette's Monetta dress pattern and vintage green rickrack. 


Finally, this custom computer bag that a friend of mine ordered. It was one of those projects I kept putting off but then when I started it went really fast. The coolest thing is this baby's going to end up in Tasmania! I just think that's neatest thing that something that I made and ran under my machine is going to be on the shoulder of a person across the world! Very cool.

I hope all is well.
Happy Sewing,
Love
Jessie and Sue
