Pairing up fabrics to sew now

 

 Wear them together!

  

Coral Orange and Beams
rayon jersey
 
This happy color is a a fabulous choice for all-season wear.  Whenever you wear it, you will love the soft hand of the rayon/spandex single knit jersey. Team it with our Beams rayon crepe print. 
  
Smoke denim and Spinning Round knit
cotton stretch 
 
Another great stretch denim imported from Italy.  The color is a rich gray with undertones of midnight.  This denim is comfortable and stable.  It will make up well in jeans that are dressy enough for work or date night.   If you prefer a jacket, you can make a traditional "jeans" jacket style or kick it up to a blazer look.  Wear it with Spinning Round jersey knit.  Also shown with our Jeans button. 
Golden Papaya and Kinabulu
Golden Papaya &
Kinabulu  
 
If your wardrobe works with warm tones, this is a must-have for jacket or suit. Rich papaya yellow twill will blend with browns or warm neutrals along with brights such as orchid purple or azure blue. The wool/silk blend is particularly suited to transitional seasons. 

Kinabulu-Wow! Here we go again-another breathtaking print! Have we overused that adjective? The richness of the colorations, the density of the print, the photographic quality and the soft wearability of the viscose jersey...all combine to create a truly unique fabrication. This rainforest motif features fronds in golden olive, acid yellow, marigold, kiwi and grass green. Blossoms in bright cherry pink and snowbell white are cuddled by pale aqua foliage. Accents of coral orange and deep red abound on a soft black ground. This fabric is a great choice for a dress or any of the T-tops you like to wear from tanks to tees and tunics to turtles
Streetcar Tweed shown with Metropolitan in brown and Dyed Leather in mustang brown.
Streetcar with
Metropolitan Ponte and
Leather!  
 
We fell for this multi-colored gem as soon as we saw it. The colors are rich without being loud. Teal, raspberry, lemon, red and soft orange rayon yarns accented with white are interwoven through the black base for a stunning textural design. As the black yarns form a design on top of the colors, they take on the appearance of a deep brown tone. We think it looks stunning with black, but it gives the wearer the option to choose brown as a coordinate. We have it teamed with our Dark Roast Metropolitan ponte knit. Rayon/nylon

Metropolitan-Some fabrics are just too wonderful for words...we'll do our best though! Our customers love this ponte knit originally milled for Eileen Fisher in Italy. The hand of this knit is exquisitely soft and the drape is gentle. Currently we have this ponte in black, dark roast brown, charcoal heather and navy.  The blend is our favorite viscose/nylon/elastane. 

Dyed Leather-

We are so excited to bring you this dyed leather! The colors are wonderfully sophisticated and on trend. The lambskin is delightfully soft , but stable enough for garments and bags. We are prevented by agreement from sharing the source, but think high-end luxury manufacturer. Trust us, you would be impressed! In general, the skins vary in size from 5.5 to 9 square feet. As usual, we will fill the orders shipping the largest skins first. We have limited quantites.
