Our neighbor brought us flowers this morning and it made me think to sew a spring dress. Ha. Funny how many of my thoughts lead me to some sewing project that I must add to my list (of things to sew). Around here spring means sew a spring dress.

Knit or stretch woven suggested. Would be lovely in Liberty of London or cotton/silk.

Would be lovely in linen in my opinion.

I imagine this in one of the Free Spirit voiles that just arrived yesterday. I’m in love with the seafoam.

This one is for those of you who love all things sewn in knit.

See you soon!

Spring Break can bring an interesting combination of free time, family time, wonky work schedules…it seems around our house it’s a little different each year.  This year I’ve found myself with some free time, thanks to my co-workers and in-laws.  A huge thanks!  I’ve been having a hard time staying away from the store, especially since we received so many (really, so many) new wonderful fabrics the end of last week.  I’ve been busy day dreaming of all the projects I want to make.  Here are a few ideas…

Our selection of knits and light weight cottons is pretty unbeatable right now.  We also have the new Laurel shift pattern from Colette Patterns and some great options for this—both for the underlined version (lace in black, cream, navy, wool/rayon eyelet, cotton eyelet…) and non-underlined version. 

I’ll put up more pictures on Thursday of other new things.  There’s now a selection of outdoor prints available, some wonderful heavier weight canvas prints and I’ll show off more knits.  Such fun!  Tell us what you’re sewing this month.  We’d love to hear!

A couple of reminders: we will be closed this coming Sunday for Easter.  Our big store-wide sale will be April 12th-14th.  Fabric, books and patterns, all marked down!

The simple, elegant shift in an array of ways.  We are stocked and ready for you.  Thank you Sarai for another fabulous pattern!  You make sewing that much more enjoyable!  You can see details of the pattern here.
