New Fabric and a Valentine's Sale.

Just wanted to pop in and let you know about some new fabrics and to remind you about our upcoming sale.

We got new Kaufman fabric in and it's finally been put on the website. It's really nice and has a sort of muted modern look to it. The solids have great texture. You can see it HERE. We also got in several Kaufman precuts.
Kaufman charm packs HERE.

Kaufman fat quarter bundle HERE.

New Kaufman Fabrics you can shop for it on our website.

Even though we're in the midst of a blizzard and it's hard to imagine Valentine's day, it is coming. Our Valentine's-We-Love-Our-Customer-Sale is almost upon us! Thursday February 12th 1-8pm. Along with our $5 a yard fabric and discounted books and precuts, we'll be offering wonderful sweets and drinks. And for every yard of fabric you buy you'll be entered to win a giveaway. I hope we'll see you there. I'm hoping to have a new (pink) skirt made up for the occasion.

Happy New Year

The blog was off for a couple of weeks due to the holidays but we're back now and excited for the new year and new projects.

So much sale fabric now only $5 a yard!!
To start the year off right we've dropped the prices of our sale fabric. There is still a lot of it and we'd really like to get rid of as much as we can before we have to do inventory (the not-so-fun part of working in a fabric shop). All of our regular cotton sale fabrics are now $5 a yard!! That is the cheapest they've ever been and we still have so much, definitely a great time to stock up and buy for backings and such.  Books are still 50% off and patterns are buy 2 get 1 free.


More sale fabric.
New Kaufman's for the new year. Both bolts and precuts. I'm thinking some of this would make a really nice light shirtwaist dress for summer. Honestly I started watching the New "Agent Carter" tv mini series which takes place right after WWII and I am now itching to sew vintage looking clothes. There is something so retro about cotton prints...sigh...



Speaking of retro, I received this as a Christmas gift. She's a WWII Fashion Doll. They made them to teach girls how to sew and came with patterns, fabric, and little scissors. This one has three of her original patterns. Straight away I made her a slip and undies and I have to tell you, I felt like a kid again. So much fun dressing her up. Next I'll be making her a WWII air force dress, I'll post a pick when I'm done just because she's so much fun.

Did you receive any fun sewing themed Christmas gifts. We'd love to hear about them. Any projects planned for the new year? Let us know in the comments.

Happy New year and Happy Sewing!
Love,
Jessie and Sue.
