Gecko
cotton satin stretch
What a find! This printed cotton satin is a mid-weight fabric that will work well for dresses, skirts, structured tops or jackets. The reptilian design is subtle and nearly hidden without close inspection. The colorations are delightfully unusual, giving rise to creative options for coordinate and accessories. We've chosen some from our current stock to get you going.
Watermelon -with soft black and golden olive on cream. Goes nicely with our Golden Olive Denim below.
Violet - with navy, orchid and gray on soft white. Goes nicely with Violet Jersey and Mixers in Lilac (see banner)
Grass- with ocher, soft black and gray on cream. Goes nicely with new Grass Jersey and Lime Jersey, detailed below.

This geometric print is a must for your year-round wardrobe. Team it with any black you own and dress it up or down to suit your mood. The motifs are primitive designs that include zigzags, triangles, square and lines. Originally milled for St. John Knits, the black and rosy beige two-tone is printed on rayon/spandex jersey knit.

cotton twill 4 way stretch
Who doesn't need four-way stretch twill for bottom basics or jackets? This is a year-round favorite. We have limited quantity of this offering so word to the wise

We've been waiting for just the right time to introduce this richly colored denim for casual bottom wear or structured jackets. Now is the time as it makes a perfect coordinate for one of our newest prints. See Gecko in Watermelon. Cotton/spandex.

Sew n Tell
with Nedra F
from Flushing, NY
I made two outfits for the Spring/Summer season using Sawyerbrook Fabric and Vogue patterns. I have received many compliments on both of them. The first look is Eveline for the top and Wild Citrus for the skirt using V6182. The second look is Perkins Mauve which I made into a dress using V9022.
Thank you! Nedra
Great looks for sport and special occasion! We like the cutwork edge of Perkins Mauve at the hem of your dress. P.S. We are diggin the hat too :) Thanks for sharing Nedra! Eveline, Wild Citrus, and Perkins Mauve have all sold out
