This is not Greece but I’ll take all the Santorini vibes I can get. Smooth white buildings with vibrant blues and ocean waters surrounding you, how stunning is that combination? My sister and her husband are heading to Greece to celebrate 25 years of marriage. What a lovely accomplishment and definitely worth celebrating. During that…

Of all the Fabric Store pattern collections, I’d been circling back time and time again on the Lily. The Lily collection is a generous set of Henley placket dress, tunic, shirt, and additional skirt. The looks are timeless. The techniques you can learn through Fabric Store patterns are top-notch. But more than anything, this set…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Leila, I live in London with my partner and my two Sphynx cats. I’m a freelance strategist and most often I’m focused on brand, creative and marketing challenges. But I love helping start-ups think about how their whole idea fits together. I started and stopped…
Admittedly, I do not know much about fabric content and the differences between- what is Chiffon vs Silk? Cotton Voile vs Cotton Faille? I tend to stay in the “natural fibers” lane, relying on blanket names like Linen and Cotton to fill my stash and ultimately my closet. Before we get too carried away with…
Serves 4–6 One of my favourite dishes that my mum would cook when I was not well was Khadi, a soothing dish of yoghurt gently cooked with light spices, chickpea flower and mustard seeds. It was both comforting and sustaining. So simple to cook with all the ingredients being easily found at your local supermarket….
I’m a big fan of a pattern with multiple garment options included. I have made the Riva Top multiple times and with different length variations even a dress but today I pulled out the Riva Pattern yet again to make a second pant variation, the shorts! Just as I enjoyed the process of the pants…
Everyone remembers their first. Mine was a basic Singer, purchased ~10 years ago because my then-boyfriend encouraged me to “get a hobby.” Fast forward seven years- I never did pick up sewing, but did get a different boyfriend who became my husband- I finally decided to pick up that hobby. Over the next three years,…
Bright patterned fabric has never been my style; when I do dip my toes in those bold waters, it’s usually in the shallow checks and plaids end of the pool. But there was just something about the Fabrics-Store Pablo Flowers print that pulled me in the second I saw it. Maybe it was the first…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Kelsey, and I live in Tampa FL with my husband and our two little girls. Previous to staying home with them, I worked in the world of professional makeup artistry. I feel like my life has been marked with many instances…
How many of you have sought to find “the” trouser? The trouser that sits exactly how you want it to on your waist? The trouser with the perfectly deep pleats that lay exactly where they should? The trouser with the ideal leg shape and inseam length, that you will never want for another trouser again?!?…
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…
Doesn’t this name just feel so soft and sweet? The pattern and fabric are just the same. 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…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. Hi, I am Bailey! I love to make new things and re-make old things. I sew clothes, reupholster chairs, and make pop-up cards. I go on a walk every single morning in the forest near my house. I have a tiny flock of chickens that…
Spring in Vermont can be such a hopeful time of year: our winters are really, really, (really) long and we collectively pray for a bit of sunshine. Each year when it finally arrives and the leaves and grass begin to grow, I gravitate towards green fabrics to sew with. I was intrigued by this new…
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…
