We met at Quilt Market, and I remember walking by her booth, seeing the adorable clothes she had sewn for her display using our patterns, and stopping in my tracks because they were so cute. We&#8217;ve stayed in touch ever since, and it&#8217;s been a lot of fun to see her business grow. Did you know that she also owns <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabricworm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fabricworm<\/a>, which will be celebrating its 10th anniversary later this year? That means Birch is almost 10 years old, too. Time has gone so quickly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/birch-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-64953\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/birch-03-760x530.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/birch-03-760x530.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/birch-03-500x349.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/birch-03-768x536.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/birch-03-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia (and Birch) have developed lots of great fabric collections, including those adorable <a href=\"http:\/\/birchfabrics.com\/fabric-collections\/charley-harper-bird-architects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charlie Harper collections<\/a>! I chose one of her Birch Basics for the green <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/shop\/girl-on-the-go-dress-top-sewing-pattern.html\">Girl on the Go Dress<\/a> and the quality of the fabric is just wonderful&#8211;in addition to being organic. It&#8217;s an interlock that&#8217;s 95% cotton\/5% elastene, and Cynthia told me it&#8217;s a little bit heavier than some knits, about 220 gsm. It&#8217;s substantial enough to be perfect for the Girl on the Go Dress + Top. It&#8217;s super combed and incredibly soft to the hand.
