Seersucker Dress

Here's a lovely example of what you can do with all the wonderful seersucker fabrics now in stock at Treadle.

This sweet summer dress enhances seersucker's textured crinkles with subtle gathers above and below the bust, and the bias trim at the neckline and hem takes advantage of the linear plaid.

Seersucker is ideal for summer!  So light, floaty, and comfortable in hot weather, it's the fabric of choice for casual skirts, dresses, and shirts for any gender.

Colorful Lace

Treadle Yard Goods has always been a destination spot for fine bridal fabrics, including lovely white and cream lace.  But now we also have several bolts of lace fabric in bright, vivid colors!

Colorful lace is on-trend this season; mix it with knits for sheer cutouts in designer-style tees, or use as an overlay for skirts and dresses.  You don't need much to make a big impact; this bright lace creates its own eye-catching details.

Brussels Washer

We have a huge new group of Brussels Washer from Robert Kaufman.  This linen/rayon blend fabric is a dream to work with.  It combines the best elements of each of its component fibers: the linen is crisp and firm, while the rayon lends drape and wrinkle resistance.  Get all the benefits of linen - with fewer wrinkles! - in this easy-care machine washable fabric.

Brussels Washer is a longtime favorite, and Robert Kaufman has recently released an amazing new expanded color palette, so we have more colors than ever before, including the yarn dyed colors, which combine a saturated color with white for more visual texture and a softer tone.

This fabric is ideal for dresses, skirts, trousers, and jackets.  It's a perfect wardrobe staple.

Feather Skirt

We have an amazing new feather-covered fabric in the store.  Soft pink feathers are sewn to a floaty net ground, with bits of silky fringe interspersed between for even more visual texture.

Treadlette Rebecca has made a truly wonderful garment in this unique fabric: a smooth, straight skirt that makes the sewing simple and shows off the feathers to best advantage. She added a plain silk waistband to keep the waistline trim.  She used McCall's pattern 6608, though any simple skirt pattern would work.

Sewing feathered fabrics might seem tricky, but one bonus is that they don't require hemming!  Simply trim the net ground (it won't fray!) and let the feathers hang over the cut edge for a soft finish.

Yellow and Charcoal Knits

Yellow paired with grey or charcoal is a really popular combination right now, and with good reason; a bright, clear yellow is fresh and modern, but cool, neutral grey tempers the yellow and makes it calmer.

We have several new cotton knit fabrics that the make the most of the yellow/grey combo.  Knits are easy to wear and great for summer.  Keep the styling simple; you don't need too much shaping for a close fit with knits.

Lotta Jansdotter Glimma

Scandinavian designer Lotta Jansdotter's new fabric collection is available at Treadle!

The new collection, Glimma, reflects Lotta's unique modern style.  Monochromatic prints with generous negative space evoke hand stamped prints.

The shapes are at once abstract and organic; the color scheme is fresh and soft, softened by neutral grays.  Steel blue, mustard yellow, and bright orange keep it modern.

There's more in our store!
