wool lycra blend
 
What a great suiting for three-season wear! This wool/rayon/Lycra blend is a woven double cloth that will tailor well for jackets, skirts or dresses. The two sides are each lightweight forming a mid-weight suiting-not too light, not too heavy. Available in blazer navy and dove heather

cotton tweed

 
Who can resist a cotton tweed? And in teal? This great find in the marketplace is a perfect choice for indoor jackets. The teal/black tweed is soft enough to have drape, but stable enough to be tailored. Mix with prints or solids for a great daywear look.
silk wool suiting 
 
Silk/wool suiting in a soft shade of black is a most desirable fabrication! If you are looking for a nice suit that isn't a pure black, this color is perfect. It supports a wide variety of neutrals and clear colors. 60 in.   
textured matelasse 
 
Imported from France, this unique texture features matelasse ornamentals over a variegated striped background. The effect is stunning! Lightweight and good for unstructured tops, jackets or dresses, the unusual surface design will be a great mixer for art-to-wear jackets and tops. Available in two soft colorways. Poly/cotton.  
cotton brocade
 
Cotton moves out of the lightweight blousing and satins of summer into a mid-weight jacketing for fall. This cotton brocade is the perfect weight for an unstructured indoor jacket, a tailored dress, a skirt or a structured top or vest. Dark blue and deep cornflower circle around shapes carved out by interesting angles highlighted with soft gray cross yarns. This complex weave creates a stunning display of circular shapes without being the least bit dotted.
viscose jersey knit
 
 We were drawn in by this fabulous viscose/elastane knit solid. Imported from the same mill as our favorite printed knits, this richly dyed basic is perfect for all your T-tops: Tee, Tank, Turtle, Tunic. You will love the soft hand and excellent recovery. Also available in Burnt Orange, Sand, Dusk, Denim, Mint

Sew 'N Tell 
with Cherry R

Cherry did a beautiful job with her jacket, such nice skills!




printed cotton poplin
 

These adorable florals take off on a flight of fancy with two tone butterflies in this charming springtime print. Cotton poplin with a bit of stretch is just right for dresses, skirts or tops. Don't forget your little ones with this print. Hot pink, sunny yellow and true orange are surrounded by green leaflets and cranberry petals on a white ground.

  
My granddaughter loved your Cissy fabric so I made her this summer dress. I am new to making clothes but your fabric was not only beautiful but wonderful to work with.

I don't usually get around to posting my creations but really wanted to share this one. The fabric was some of the nicest I have ever worked with and the whole project went like a dream! The pattern is the Sandra Betzina Vogue 1418, I opted for the simpler version to show off the fabric. Only minor alterations to the pattern, no sewing snafus, and I have a comfortable jacket in such a happy color, that goes with black, brown or navy.

The fabric is Turquoise Sky-out of stock, but check your stash!
