Easy Last Minute Holiday Gifts
Even though there's only one more day of Hanukkah and one week until Christmas, you still have time to whip up a last-minute gift!
This cardigan was found at Target, then Jennifer swapped out the buttons for some fun sparkly ones and added a trim at the collar.
We have this trim in lots of colors, and the possibilities are endless.
Jennifer hand sewed the trim to the sweater, and she has machine washed and dried this cute sweater with great results.
Or, whip up a fun
scarf. 
These projects take about an hour each, and they're the height of fashion and fun!
We also have just received about 6 colorways of the new Della Fleece by Valori Wells.
There are many easy gifts to be made from this fun and soft fabric.
This is destined to be a baby blanket for a dear friend, and though she's worth a lot of time and effort, this blanket will be perfect with no sewing at all.
I don't know about you out there, but I always feel a little pang of guilt when I cut into some cute creature when I am sewing.
For this project I decided to utilize the non-fraying quality of the fleece to cut around these darling little owls.
This blanket took about 10 minutes, the fabric does all the work, frankly, and it's cozy and cute as can be!
Good luck with your projects!

Amy Butler Trunk Show
I see it's been a couple of weeks since posting here, and what a great couple of weeks they were!
First of all, thanks to you all we had a terrific sale!
Second, some excitement ensued when we received our copies of One Yard Wonders,
featuring patterns designed by Treadlettes Jess and Nina!
Third, we said goodbye to the Sewing Workshop Trunk Show and welcomed in the Amy Butler Trunk Show.
This trunk show is full of bags, dresses, and aprons, some of which are made up in the new Love line of fabrics.
As the sign above states, all Amy Butler patterns will be 10% off for the duration of the trunk show.
Lastly, we have some fun classes still to come in this session. Our class highlight today is the Fun Stuff with Felt class scheduled for this Saturday at 10 AM.
With edges that won't ravel when cut, and a huge selection of colors, felt is a great medium for small hand-sewn projects like barrettes, small bags and crowns.
See you all in stitches,
The Treadlettes.

Fashion Sewing Club
Hi All,
Over here at Treadle, we've been hosting the Fashion Sewing Club for a few months now, and I just wanted to let you know that another one is fast approaching.
The classes are held the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 10:30 AM and 6 PM in Treadle 2 (which if you don't know, is our classroom space behind the store on Hamline Ave).
The classes are run by the Material Girls (follow the link to sign up for class) and consist of a show-and-tell atmosphere to learn techniques and hear about different garments, how they're constructed and how to watch out for tricky bits in a pattern.
Go and sign up today for one of these fun and informative sessions!

Love
The first shipment of "Love" the new fabric line from Amy Butler arrived this week.
Amy Butler fans will notice that the colors are a little bolder, and the patterns are new and exciting.
We are expecting the remainder of our order the first weeks of December.
The extra exciting thing about this new line is the coordinates that Ms. Butler has provided across fabric types.
Several of the patterns will be available in home decorator weight, flannel, broadcloth and laminated cotton.
Stay tuned for further updates!
Thanks,
The Treadlettes.

Hello out there!
We have some new goodies that I am excited to share with you today.
We recently received a couple of printed lawns from Liberty of London.
They are just the right weight for a blouse, and just enough wit in the patterns to be fun and funky!

Time for Woolens
With the nip in the air the past few mornings my mind has turned to the cozier things in life.
A mug of Hot Cocoa after a long walk, comfy slippers and a new wool coat.
In anticipation of this fall weather the selection of wools is growing daily at Treadle.
As I looked through the newer pieces the other day I mentally planned out my fall wardrobe.
A new coat surely, but add to that a vintage-inspired plaid jumper, and perhaps a skirt or two.
The options are endless.
In other news, if you have been in the store the last week you surely noticed the absence of our leader Mary.
Mary is away at the International Textiles Show and she has sent back reports of many new and exciting fabrics, trims and lace.
We should start seeing these goodies in the coming weeks, stay tuned!

New Arrivals
We have some exciting new products to show you on the fabric front today.
The first is this group tucked away on the organic cotton table-
The Happy Garden collection from Cloud 9 Fabrics.
"Cloud9 Fabrics is passionate about bringing eco-sensible fabrics to the quilt and craft market."
Cloud 9 Fabrics vows to use "100% certified organic cotton in the manufacturing of our base cloths and eco-responsible solvent-free inks and dyes for printing."
(from the Cloud 9 website)
Truly an admirable mission and with these adorable prints you can make a child-friendly and earth-friendly choice for your next sewing project.
Our other new product is the 50% Bamboo and 50% Rayon Xotic Felt from National Nonwovens.
These fat quarters are $5.75 per piece and, depending on demand, we may decide to carry their 40" wide yardage as well.
The addition of bamboo makes Xotic Felt much softer in texture and drape than wool felt or even a rayon/wool blend. When I was at the store today I overheard someone say that she thought at first the fat quarters had some cashmere in them, the hand is just that soft.
We here at Treadle are delighted to be able to carry these and many other sustainable and organic products, and we hope you can come on by and check them out.
Yours in Stitches,
The Treadlettes.
