Sevenberry Petite Garden

We have some adorable new small-scale floral prints from Robert Kaufman's Sevenberry Petite Garden line.

These small prints are easy to wear, and the soft, smooth cotton makes them great for blouses and dresses!

Happy Independence Day!

We're taking this Treadlette Tuesday off to celebrate Independence Day!

The store will be closed today, July 4. Shop again regular hours tomorrow!

Shot Cottons

Woven with different colors on the warp and weft, shot fabrics have a lustrous, iridescent quality. It helps when the colors are as bright and saturated as in our new shot cottons!

Dot Cottons

We have a bright new group of dotted cottons in the store. These tone-on-tone prints have a distressed element in the design, with shading and rough effects that make them a little more interesting than your average polka dot!

These would make perfect blenders in quilts. Use them as an alternative to solids for a more dynamic look!

Abstract Cotton Prints

These abstract cotton prints have both a geometric quality and a soft, watercolor-like feel. The border-print cityscape below is at once abstract and highly realistic.

The companion print is a gorgeous wash of color. Use each alone or pair the two together for striking effects!

Treadlette Tuesday: Sue's Jacket

Sue made this jacket from a heavy textured cotton with a bold floral print. The loose cut and shorter sleeves make it a perfect summer piece - just right for unexpected chilly days or moving in and out od air conditioning!

Sue used the Sewing Workshop West End Top pattern. Sewing Workshop patterns have a unique style, often using color blocking and asymmetry, with a fit that's generous but still well-proportioned.

Sue says she plans to wear this simply with jeans to dress up her everyday outfits! I think it would also make a stylish swim cover-up.

ITY Knits

We have a few new ITY knits in the store! Interlock Twist Yarn knits, or ITYs, are a type of jersey created by a unique twist process that gives the fabric a wonderful weight and slinky drape.

Made from a poly/spandex blend, ITY knits often come in bold, bright prints to really make a statement!
