When I received an offer to try a new poplin fabric, I immediately turned my attention to the Mary Black print. I imagined an airy delicate dress with a collar worn with comfortable shoes, boots or sneakers. Cotton poplin is a lightweight, breathable, and comfortable fabric with a flat surface structure. In addition, cotton poplin…
Today you can allow yourself to play with the style of slip dresses. What should I match the dress with? A slip dress in cold weather goes well with knitted clothes (sweater, turtleneck), and coats and jackets are worn over it. In warm seasons, a shirt and a T-shirt are combined with such a model….
Robes are my weakness, as I spend a lot of time with my kids at home, you want to have quality and comfortable home clothes. And it’s lovely to spend your slow mornings in a comfortable linen robe like Amalfi. The cozy kimono-style robe will fit perfectly into your daily routine. With a loose fit…
When I saw the new printed cottons on the FS website, I immediately wanted to try it. It was painfully hard to make a choice, by the way, since the array of fabric on offer are stunning but I eventually decided on the Faille Pablo Flowers in orange color. When I received this fabric, I…
I have been sewing for the fifth year, and I use a singer computerized sewing machine. During this time my machine has never broken down and did not need repair. Of course, now that my skills have grown many times over, I have plans to purchase an industrial sewing machine, but so far this has…
I have been looking at the Lily collection of patterns from fabric-store for a while now, but all along I presumed that sewing these pieces would be difficult. I noted in the reviews that some people got stuck on the pocket construction, and I already suspected that the front bracket and sleeves would pose a…
There are only a few days left until the end of winter, which means you can already officially prepare your wardrobe for spring. As a mom, I care about what my children will wear. I don’t like retail shopping, it’s hard to find something that I might really like, instead, I prefer to buy online,…
For me, as for many others, Christmas is the most important holiday of the year, a celebration of magic, miracles and gifts! Each family follows its own traditions, which are formed over the years and this is what our children will remember later when they become adults, how the smell of delicious apple pie filled…
When I received the new cotton fabrics from fabric-store, I thought, what a pity that they were not yet available a year ago when I was pregnant, I could have sewn so many beautiful textiles for my nursery. Nevertheless, these fabrics are perfect to make clothing or bedding for children of any age, the cottons…
This year is very exciting for our family, my daughter went to kindergarten, she grew up so fast, but at the same time she is still so little. I wanted to prepare thoroughly for school, sew a lot of beautiful dresses, but this summer we moved to a new house and there was a lot…
I really like to sew dresses and jumpsuits for my daughter. Today we will talk about one of my favourite dress patterns for girls. I usually find interesting patterns on Etsy, there are a lot of great stores. But be careful if you want to sew clothes with the intent of selling them, as some…
Recently on fabric-store.com I saw a new Capucine pattern and decided that I absolutely must sew this robe to welcome the cozy summer eves in it. I sewed a dressing gown for the first time and already in the process imagined how, wrapped in a warm blanket, I drink a cup of coffee and watch…
I was looking for clothes that could fit me at 28 weeks of pregnancy and that would remain relevant even after the birth of the baby. I saw the ABBEY Wrap Cardigan pattern on the Fabric-store website and thought that was exactly what I needed! The pattern is very easy to understand and has only…
