This Faille Francesca Perfectly Pale print is from the cotton floral collection Fabrics-store recently released. The print has soft pink tones, several shades of green, milky white, medium red-oranges and lovely yellow daffodils. The feel is lightweight but…

A quick search online will find you many articles that support the fact that bright colors can positively affect your mood. I have had a rough season since the start of 2023 so maybe this is why I am enthralled with what I just made with Fabrics-Store Raspberry and Tangelo Signature Finish Linens. They are…
Have you seen that Fabrics-Store added cotton to their shop? With this exciting news, I decided to see what I thought of the quality and texture of these lovely floral prints. If you’re on the fence trying to decide if you want to try one, hopefully this review will help you. I jumped right in…
There are so many sewing machines on the market, options as well as opinions on each machine will always vary! Tastes may change according to personal sewing preferences and what type of items you are sewing. I encourage you to listen to the opinions that line up with your needs and the textiles you plan…
Beeswax Food Wraps. The idea occurred to me that these food wraps would be a very cute Valentine Gift with a little card and treat. I have heard so much about these food wraps as a more sustainable option than cling-wrap or plastic wrap for food storage. I have seen some cute ones in shops…
Handmade gifts for the holiday are both thoughtful and beautiful. I have a last minute gift idea you can make out of your half yard or smaller scraps of linen or cotton. If you have a little fabric stash and need gifts that you’re sure people will enjoy and use, consider making beautifully constructed kitchen…
When I was starting my company a few years ago, I had the honor of making aprons for the sweetest florist in Southwest Florida. Melissa and Sean are the talented designers/ owners of Kaleidoscope Floral – their resume is very impressive. They were opening a brick and mortar boutique store after years of providing stunning…
My daughter was asked to be a bridesmaid at her friend’s wedding. The bride assigned each bridesmaid a color and asked them to find their preferred dress for the special day. The bride (our dear friend Courtney) wanted her bridesmaids to have a garden party style, maybe with a full sleeve and all the dresses…
Adding a classic fitted trouser to your wardrobe is always a good decision. These pants definitely have all the details of a classic garment worth adding to your collection. I did not have any white pants and I’m so pleased to have added the Riva Pants to my fashion options. I hope you enjoy the…
Pink (and blue) elephants on parade! These little baby outfits were made from the new nursery prints offered by fabrics-store.com! These beautiful hand-drawn, watercolor prints can be used for children’s clothing and various projects but primarily they have been designed to be used for baby bedding. How sweet would these fabrics be for crib sheets?…
The Capucine robe is so lovely! I’m excited to share why. Let’s start with the fabric choice that made this super fun! The pattern suggests woven medium weight linen 55” width and all the photos in the instructions are made with traditional texture linen but you MUST consider the linen/cotton waffle fabric as an option…
The Riva Dress. Wait!? The Riva Pattern doesn’t come with a dress option. No, it doesn’t, but it CAN. I like my FS Zina Shirt dress so much that I thought, why not try making a Riva Dress option as well. I saw the potential that seemed like a pretty simple alteration so I took…
I don’t know if I can adequately express how much I think everyone reading this needs to make a ZINA Shirt Dress. Maybe that sounds a little dramatic but wow, this was so fun to make and I think you can tell from my photos, how good I feel in this dress. A linen button-up…
Who doesn’t want to feel like they’re at a resort this summer or any time? These garments will help transport you even if you’ve decided it’s a “staycation” season for you! For the Riva Shirt I chose the lightweight Blue Apatite Softened Linen. I like to pay attention to what colors are best for my…
Linen for babies? 1000% yes. I’d love to share how I became so sure of this decision and show you something truly adorable. If you’re reading articles from the thread often, you may already know the natural benefits of linen. If you’re new here, I’ll go ahead and share just a few of these benefits….
