Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! I hope you all are having a fantastic end to the week :) We’re hosting an incredible Little Bird Giveaway this week, so be sure to enter here!

On to our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a beautiful bag with our Opposite’s Attract by Jack!e McFee collection, sewn by fellow Canadian Reece Montgomery of Happy Okapi. She used Swoon Sewing Pattern’s Sandra Saddle Bag pattern, and chose to highlight the black & white ogee print. As an accent, she chose a black leather for the sides and closure. The large gold rings add a fun twist, as well as the interior turquoise pop. This is the perfect bag to take on a shopping trip or apple picking adventure – large enough to hold all your necessities, but comfortable to carry around. What a great bag!!

Thank you so much, Reece, for the fabric love. We are so thrilled you enjoyed working with our Opposite’s Attract by Jack!e McFee collection! You can find more from Reece on Instagram and on her blog. Have a great weekend, everyone!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! Guess what, guess what?? We’ve made it to the weekend!!!!!!

Gearing up for the weekend with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a top and pants duo with our Sea Life by Heather Rosas collection, created by Ashley Summers of CharmingOllie. Charming Ollie is a custom clothing, pattern, and applique shop that specializes in adorable and adjustable children’s clothing. In Ashley’s shop, you will find patterns for pants and shorts for girls and boys – all equally adjustable. As well, she has fun appliques that you can use to personalize a bag or plain t-shirt.

Ashley chose our Sea Life by Heather Rosas collection to showcase her charming, little fish applique on a t-shirt, with matching Sea Life Oscar Bloomer shorts. The folded, origami-esque side pocket is such a unique detail!! This is such a cute set for a little boy or girl ready for a day at sea!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Ashley!! We absolutely adore your fish applique and think it works perfectly with the sea-inspired colors of our Sea Life collection. And those shorts!! Uber cute. Be sure to check out more from Charming Ollie on Facebook, Etsy, and Instagram. Have a great weekend, everyone!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! Here’s to a fantastic weekend, everyone! Wishing all our fellow Canadians a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some projects with our Paradise by Alisse Courter collection, created by Deb of Chosen Sisters. Chosen Sisters is an Etsy Shop owned by Capi and Deb, started after Capi had moved away. They wanted to find something they could do together and still be connected as friends. Their shop is a place where you can find unique and vintage-inspired, handmade pieces such as baby bonnets, bibs, traveling pouches, and pretty tape measures (an idea sparked from a magazine image!).

One of their latest additions is with our Paradise collection. We love how they were inspired by the collection, adding little buttons as flower centers – so lovely!! Now you’ll want to display your tape measure on your sewing table, instead of hiding it away in a tangled mess haha ;)

They also created a pouch set with Paradise, which includes a traveling pouch, a matching needlebook, and a tape measure. This would make for such a sweet gift for your fellow sewing friends!

Thank you so much for the fabric love! Your tape measures are genius, and we adore them with our Paradise collection. You can find more from Chosen Sisters on their Instagram, Facebook, and Etsy Shop. Have an awesome weekend!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Fri-Yay! Wooo!! Wishing a great, first October weekend! :)

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a bag created by mbbauer87 (on Instagram!), with our Heirloom collection. Our Heirloom collection is a mustard, grey, and burgundy hued collection of intricate geometrics, perfect for the upcoming cooler months. It is also printed on 100% unbleached, natural cotton which adds to the warmth of the colors in the collection. We love how the bag incorporates Heirloom in a simple, square pattern mixed with solid blocks. She finished the bag with side bow details (which also allows for the bag to expand), and thick, double straps. We love how her bag turned out – it’s the perfect tote for going to the farmer’s market!

Thank you for sharing your awesome Heirloom bag with us! Have a wooooonderful weekend, everyone!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! How is everyone doing? It’s just about the weekend, the last weekend of Summer. And it’s supposed to be a gorgeous one here, so we’re excited to blissfully enjoy it!

Ending a wonderful week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing an absolutely gorgeous clambake quilt by Lorrie of SewMod. Lorrie used a Clambake pattern from Crazy Old Ladies Quilts, which is an awesome fat quarter-friendly quilt design. This clambake quilt has a very pretty scalloped-like design, which with our Paradise Collection, gives the quilt a feminine and dainty feel.

A few words from Lorrie:

“The Paradise Clambake quilt will be making it’s first appearance this weekend at my first fall quilt show. I’m expecting the kits to go quickly since it turned out so beautiful. I can’t wait to see my customers reactions. I know there will be some oohs & ahhs! The quilt measures a good throw size at approx. 54″ x 60″ and was quilted by a local long-arm quilter here in Chicagoland, Suzette Fisher.”

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Lorrie!! Your quilt is sososososo gorgeous, and we hope your customers love it as much as we do (oh we know they will ;))! Be sure to check out more from Lorrie on her blog and Instagram. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!
