Here are a few more highlights from our most recent load of new fashion fabrics!

These printed knits are perfect for dresses, skirts, or a refined tee. Printed knits are a great way to work patterns into your wardrobe while keeping your look sleek and streamlined. Knits sew up quickly, and there are more sewing patterns available than ever for knits these days!

New Fashion Knits

We got a huge new shipment of fashion fabrics this week, with dozens of exciting new pieces! First up, let's take a look at some great new lace and sweater knits.

We have several new pieces of printed knit lace - gorgeous as an allover fabric when underlined with a solid, or just use a little bit as an inset or trim.

This sheer printed knit is embellished with rows of textured trim and tiny, subtle sequins!

Love this bright orange sweater knit's open and airy texture and applied yarn scrolls and squiggles.

Just the thing to get you planning your spring sewing! There are dozens of new fabrics in the store, so keep checking here for the latest updates, and stop on by to grab a few new goodies!

New Hand Sewing Book!

We have a wonderful new book at Treadle, all about hand sewing!

At first glance, this looks like just another embroidery book, but it's so much more. Stitches for tailoring and fine garment sewing are covered, alongside stitches for knitting, mending, quilting, and more!

The book's table of contents is separated into "functional" and "decorative" sections. The functional stitches range from hand gathering and seaming to pad-stitching and blind hems, while the decorative stitches cover dozens of beautiful embroidery and embellishment designs. 

 This book would be a wonderful companion to either of the Hand Sewing Classes at Treadle, or used on your own.

Learn what you can do with every craftsperson's best tools: your own two hands!

Amy Butler Prints

We have new prints in the store from Amy Butler's latest collection, Hapi.

True to Amy's style, these prints are created with richly saturated colors and high-energy contrasts. Bright, creative, and always unique, Amy Butler's fabric designs are modern classics.

Stop by Treadle today to see all our amazing cotton prints!

Fox Prints

Foxes are so popular right now, pulling ahead of owls for the Cutest Woodland Animal Fabric Print title. Our novelty print section is just brimming with adorable foxes in all styles and sizes. Here's a set of cute fox prints we just got in.

This wide stripe print of foxes in all manner of cars and bicycles would be ideal for quilting, or anywhere you can showcase a big, linear print.

The scatter print on fashionable grey features foxes as well as turtles, chickens, mushrooms, and more. Adorable as a companion to the stripe print above or used alone in children's clothes, quilts, or anywhere you want a little whimsy!

Next week at Treadle, we're expecting a HUGE shipment of new fabrics! Keep your eyes on this blog to get the scoop!
