I’m making a junior bridesmaid dress and bow tie soon and am currently sourcing fabric swatches. I need to match a periwinkle (Pantone 15-3919). Tell me your go-to fabric stores, please! I’ve already done mood and farmhouse fabrics but still feel like I haven’t found “the one” yet.

I just sewed view b for my 9 year old who is broad across the shoulders and very very pre boobies.

Now you can stencil paint ALL THE THINGS! 😂

Thank you @lightningmcstitch!! The freezer paper stenciling came out great. I found a fabric spray paint which made it very easy to use. She loves her Totoro dress!

My preference is Bemberg: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Bemberg

Other types of rayon can be ok, too, but I prefer the hand feel of the Bemberg. Hope that helps!

Hi, I’ve been doing a bit of tidying up of my *cough* enormous Oliver + S pattern collection.

I’ve created some A5 sized printable dividers so i can keep all my paper patterns alphabetically sorted on my bookshelf. I thought other people might find them useful too, so here’s a link to my Google drive where you can download and print off as many,…[Read more]
