Treadle Weekly Newsletter: 50 cent patterns

Final Markdowns in our Semi-Annual Clearance! We've added some fabulous fabrics to our clearance section, and further reduced prices on even more!

Almost every clearance item is now marked down to 75% off!

	McCalls' patterns further reduction! You are NEVER going to find patterns at this price - just 50 cents each! Everything must go, we need to make room for exciting new stuff. Stock up on patterns now, it's always nice to have options later.
Kwik Sew patterns reduced too - now just $5 each! Find patterns for crafts, home decor, and garments - including lots of options for knits. Menswear, family sleepwear, and plus sizes, too!

	New soft Cuddle prints in the store! This plush, fluffy fabric is surprisingly easy to sew. Makes wonderful scarves, soft toys, blankets, and more.
We love the amazing designs from Rifle Paper Co. printed by Moda. This new group features soft florals on soft cotton broadcloth, heavier cotton canvas, and silky rayon, too! You can see more from this group here at our blog post.
	Bright elastic adds a pop of color and fun to a plain old waistband. Instead of hiding the elastic inside a casing, show it off on the outside! These would be great for a simple cotton skirt you could sew up in minutes, or the waist of a cozy knit lounge pant.

Fitting: Reading the Wrinkles Online Let’s take an approach to fit with less math, more intuition. By studying the way your muslin mockup wrinkles and folds on the body, you can tell whether there’s too much fabric or not enough, where to add or take away, and how to make a well-fitted garment that looks good and feels good to wear.

Rifle Paper Co. prints

These first two prints (or the same print in different colorways) are both on heavier weight cotton canvas. Perfect for bags, pants, jackets, or anywhere you'd need a little more heft than quilting cotton.

Below you can see more prints in the set, including the delicious rayon on the far right! 

Wool Ironing Pads

Wool pressing mats are back in stock! These great little space-savers are ideal for keeping close to your machine so you can press as you go!

Treadle Weekly Newsletter: Inspiration to share: an embroidered wool coat

 Welcome to the Treadle Yard Goods Weekly Newsletter. You can subscribe to our newsletter by email using the contact box on our website.

Recently, long-time Treadle customer and sewing student Anne-Marie stopped by to show us her magnificent completed project: this stunning wool coat with embroidered lace applique.  Anne-Marie started this project in class with us last year and we are so pleased to see the final result!

You can see another view in our instagram post here.

These linen/rayon blends are our favorite new arrival. They have a slight texture to the surface and a wonderful drape. Plus aren't these colors just so dreamy? We could see comfy pants, skirts, and dresses in these, a light jacket, or a modern pair of overalls!
We are getting in plenty of new cotton prints in all sorts of styles. Here's a group of reproduced designs from the William Morris company. We also have some beautiful women's suffrage prints - you can see them at our blog!
Who says notions can't be useful AND fun? We have sweet new forest critter tape measures in stock!

We hope you found some lovely treasures in our Clearance this season. We're adding even MORE - look for a table of newly clearanced notions later this week - including some great basics to stock up on, like zippers.

Here's our washing notes, but you should really stop by the store and touch it for yourself!

More kitty prints, and pups too!
