Merry Christmas!

A Christmas with no snow can still be beautiful!

Merry Christmas friends! We just wanted to pop in and let you know how much your business means to us. We feel so blessed that so many people support this little local shop. It makes what we do even more fulfilling when we get to see your smiling faces.

We'll be closing at noon on Christmas eve, and will reopen Monday the 28th.

If your looking for something new to start off the New Year with Nancy Johnson is teaching a Wool Envelope Class. This tri-fold sewing envelope will teach you to work with a variety of materials and several techniques including appliqué, zipper insertion and different creative stitches. The class will be meeting the 2nd Thursday of the Month starting in January.

We hope that you all have a special Christmas and safe and merry New Years.

Thanks again for a great year.
Love,
The entire Sew Unique Crew!

Wool Felting and a New Class


I spent the first part of my day making more row by row kits. We had sold out! Thank you everyone who's bought one, and if you haven't, fear not there are lots more back in stock. I've also been trying to survive this sudden muggy heat. What better way then inside the air conditioning sewing a fun new project?
Click HERE for these and our other Wool Patterns.

If your looking for something new we just got in a new line of wool felting patterns. Crane Designs and they all have that folk art look that's so nice. We have patterns for pillows, wall hangings and table runners. We also carry Wool Roving in different colors (sourced from Michigan) and all the felting tools you could need.

Beautiful Roving from Grand Haven Michigan

The right felting tools make a job well done.

We're offering a new class August 25th from 10-2. Nancy Johnson will be teaching the "Ingrid Convertible Canisters" Pattern. A sweet, fun basket perfect to take on little picnics or to spruce up your pantry. The cost of the class is $25.
Convertible Canisters I love the zipper detail.

I hope you are all staying nice and cool.
Happy Sewing!
Love,
Jessie

So Much New Fabric...

Today I finished putting all the new Moda fabric in our online shop. We have so much new fabric! Wonderful, lovely, colorful fabrics. I know that at least one of them will become a summer blouse for me but I have no idea how I will decide. 

This is "Mirabelle" by Fig Tree and Co. Really pretty vintage looking fabrics. The lacy one reminds me of some of the fancy papers for scrapbooking. Click HERE to see it online or come in to the shop.

This is the "April Showers" collection by Bonnie & Camille. These umbrellas make my heart happy. Wouldn't the umbrellas make a fabulous little girls dress with the green gingham as the collar and cuffs? Click HERE to view online or come in and ogle it in the shop like I've been. 


This giant collection is "Color Me Happy" from V and Co. This is the first collection of theirs we've carried and as you can tell we really like it. This isn't even everything, there's more at our website! This is probably going to be the collection that wins out for summer blouse territory. One of the Floral Boquets, or Floral Sprouts, I think those two look really vintage but in a fresh sort of way. I just love a fabric that harkens back to the 1940's and one of my favorite summer blouse patterns is a 1940's reissue from Simplicity #1692, sounds like a match made in heaven to me. Click HERE to see all of Color Me Happy.

Wooly Lady Fabric, Pillow patterns and bundles.


Lastly, we are now carrying Wooly Lady wool fabric. We'll be selling it in three sizes: $6.25, $12.50, $25.00 and we'll continue to get more colors in, as she releases them. We're also carrying a few of her kits and several of her patterns. Come into the store to see all the pretty colors. We've got one of the kits online click HERE to see it.

Happy spring, and happy sewing,
Love,
Jessie and Sue.
