Flair for Fabric

This is NOT a Black Friday Sale :)

There's only 1 week left in to the store closing clearance sale.  I still have a few sewing patterns and books in stock at 40% off, they make great gifts.  Sorry, no more fabrics :( Remember you get one entry in the big store closing giveaway for every item you buy!

I'm making another big shipment this afternoon and then, I'm up to date on orders, yay!  So even if your order status says "Processing", it either has been shipped earlier this week or this afternoon.

Have a great weekend! 

Amy Butler Liverpool Tunic and Sweet Harmony Handbag and Tote sewing patterns just arrived

They're in! The 2 new sewing patterns Amy Butler releases this Fall just arrived today.

 

Here are some more views of these patterns in other Love fabrics. I always find it interesting to see a pattern made with a different size print and colors. 

Liverpool Shirt, Tunic, Short and Long Dress pattern in Sandlewood in Tangerine :

Tote version of the Sweet Harmony pattern in Sandlewood in Turquoise :

And one more view of the Liverpool tunic in Memento in Burgundy, one of the favorites Love fabrics in Canada! Would be gorgeous in Memento in Midnight too. The dark background fabrics in Love collection are perfect for women clothing, among the numerous uses you may already have in mind for them! :)

New in the shop this week is a selection of Favorite Things Sewing Patterns.  These patterns are designed and made in Canada and Leslie Gladman, one of the designers behind the brand, is the nicest person. You'll find two stylish garments patterns for Fall : a flattering fitted coat with faux double breast and empire waist and a versatile classic shirt with mutiple options.

 

You'll also find practical lunch bag and billfold patterns.  One thing I love about Favorite Things patterns is that there often are fat quarters options; the Lunch Bag, for instance, can be made out of 4 fat quarters. How fun is this?
