I’m popping into let you know I just found a new fabric shop. If you like fabrics I like, you may enjoy this shop. I thought I’d share it with you.

Homemade Underwear, Beginner garment sewing

Homemade Underwear

I made my first garment. This is the third pair of underwear I’ve sewn. You may laugh, but this is quite an accomplishment for me. I’ve sewn straight lines for years. I’ve never embraced curves, and I’ve only sewn with right angle pieces of cotton quilting fabric.

Do Fabric Pens Work Well?

I’ve recently discovered a new marking pen that I love. I 100% understand the majority of you have likely already been using a water soluable fabric marker for years, but I have not. In case you have not found this little gem, I figured it’d be worth while to mention it here.

Homemade White Linen Pillows

My sister said she read that we should all be changing out our pillow covers to white linen right now. Spring is here and summer is right around the corner, and we need to freshen up our decor. 🙂

(Please know that affiliate links have been used in this post.) Babies are the best excuse to purchase new fabric and sew a quilt. So I did just that. Some…

Golden Hour Fabric by Alexia Marcell Abegg

Golden Hour Fabric

Since the modern quilting movement is so huge now, there are always new lines and new fabrics coming out, but that also means turnover is fast. Lines come and go so fast that fabrics disappear off shelves. Once they’re gone, you can’t always find them again.

A Blooming Bunch Fabric Quilt

This fabric is so fun. Everything about it is colorful and cheerful and definitely Brady Bunch inspired. The green gingham in here makes me think of Alice.

One Inch Clover Bias Tape Maker. Blooming Bunch Fabrics by Moda.

What is a Bias Tape Maker?

I found a new little gadget that was entirely worth the cost. It’s called a bias tape maker. They’ve been around for a while, but I’m usually not a gadget type person. I’ve made my quilt bindings and bias tape with a ruler and an iron for ten years. It takes time, but everything with quilting takes time. I didn’t mind the process.

A Blooming Bunch Fabrics. Triangle Patchwork Pillows. The Willow Market Trianlge Pillows. Vintage and Retro Inspired Florals.

A Blooming Bunch Fabrics

It is a fun line, friends. If you like the vintage linens or retro flower power patterns, you’ll enjoy this line. It’s bright and cheerful and full of floral prints. It’s mixed well, though, with a few stripes and ginghams.

Tasha Tudor’s Heirloom Craft Book

While we listened to the others, I quietly whispered to my husband that I just want to grow up to be Tasha Tudor.

Morgan Kelly Quilts. Triangle Pillow.

I’m stepping out on a limb and trying a new product. It’s a completely different price point, and it’s a completely different level of time commitment.

So what’s the moral of this post? I guess we all need to impulse buy fabric. Because if we don’t, someone else does and we can’t buy it anymore.

The Willow Market Quilting, Homemade Curtains

Homemade Curtains

You know how curtains are supposed to almost hit the floor after being hung? Mine are approximately two feet too short. And they’ve been that way ever since moving to our new home.

The Willow Market, How to Make Fabric Postage Stamps

How to Make Fabric Postage Stamps

Something small. Something quick and whimsy. Something just to make them smile. I’ve seen fabric postage stamps for years, but I had no reason to take the time to make them until now. They’re fun and quick and simple.

The Willow Market Triangle Pillows

Three Pillows and a Plaid Mask

My Etsy shop is tiny. Teensy tiny. I don’t know if I’ve ever had more than ten items in my shop at one time. I’ve barely capped 100 sales. My audience is small. Three pillows at one time is a big restock for me.

Mammoth Junior Flannels for Fall

I caught a glimpse of some of Robert Kaufman’s new Junior Mammoth Flannels on Instagram a week ago. I saw a few prints I thought would be beautiful for layering with pillows.
