RSS FeedWhat type of fabric should I use to make my winter coat?
Written by admin on February 12, 2010 – 8:41 pm -I am planning on making a winter coat for myself as a fun project and I am wondering what type of fabric I should use. We live in TN so it does get cold and snow, but not that much. My pattern says cotton, coton blends, poplin, gabardine. and China silk for the lining. What do you think of those fabrics, not really knowledgeable about them? Thank you in advanced. Oh and what are some good online fabric shops with cheap priced fabric, budget is tight these days and JoAnns is a bit high sometimes.

Where can I get a bolt of fabric made from a small swatch of vintage fabric?
Written by admin on February 9, 2010 – 5:54 am -I have a piece of beautiful vintage fabric that was used in my nursery when I was a baby. I am expecting my first child and would love to make my daughter a blanket/sheet/pillow set from the same material and print. Where can I get fabric specially made from the swatch I have? I’d like the fabric and print to be identical to the swatch. Thanks!
