Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! YAY for the weekend; wishing everyone a fantastic one! As well, we are hosting a Paisley Please + Coordinating Aurifil Threads Giveaway on our Facebook Page. You can enter our giveaway HERE!

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! And we’ve got one that is perfect to end this week and kick-start the weekend. Today we are featuring a really beautiful Etsy Shop, Sew Liab. Martina Croom, owner and creative behind Sew Liab, is a military mom currently stationed in Northern France and a sewing enthusiast. It was teachers, family, and her husband who encouraged her to start a shop to sell her creations, and thus her Etsy Shop was born.

The name Sew Liab has two origins: Sew is to represent what she loves to do, and Liab; a Austrian vernacular for cute, sweet and precious to express what she sells. The name fits perfectly for her shop, because Martina sells the sweetest of handmade clothing (dresses, tunics, etc), quilts, baby items, toys, bags, and more! As well, Martina has a keen eye for adorable, but modern fabric collections to use, to make all her designs bright, happy, and fun.

Martina chose our Let’s Go by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio Collection for her lovely Pencil Pouches. The structure is perfect for storing all your coloring tools, but can also be used as a makeup bag, sewing supplies carrier, or bag separator. The fox designs add an adorable flair to this pencil pouch, that everyone will be asking where you got it from! We adore the sweet foxes, raccoons, and flora patterns decorating the happy pouches from Let’s Go. And what makes Martina super awesome is the customization factor of her shop – you can also request a larger size of this pouch, as a toiletry bag or diaper clutch! Check out her awesome Let’s Go Pencil Pouch here.

We want to thank Martina for the wonderful fabric love!! We are so happy you love our Let’s Go Collection, and decided to choose it for your beautiful pencil pouches. Be sure to check out more from Martina at her Etsy Shop, as well as her Facebook Page. We hope everyone has a great weekend! Until next week…

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! Today is the start to another wonderful week (single digit countdown to Quilt Market!!) …and with that, we bring to you another Moody Monday! This autumn season, adorable creatures have been seen everywhere – owls, foxes, raccoons – and with their rich, warm colors to match…we have been inspired! Thus, we have decided to share our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Moodboard with you all today.

With the autumn season officially upon us, it’s that time of year to don all your favorite oversized scarves and chunky knit sweaters with the intentions of keeping warm. But, bundling up doesn’t mean we can’t still look cute and stylish. This season we’ve been seeing lots of fun, graphic sweaters faced with our sweet, furry friends, both on the runway and in high-street stores. We adore the mix of feminine and playful a beautiful sweater with a fox print gives, and it can be dressed up or down accordingly with a pair of boyfriend jeans, over a tulle dress, or with a collared button up for the workplace. Some of our favorites are from J.Crew, Maison Kitsune, Old Navy, Lacoste, Balenciaga, and Markus Lupfer.

Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas is a rich color-infused collection of deep, fall hues of oranges, greens, blues, and browns adorned with hedgehog, fox, raccoon, and owl prints. Our moodboard showcases this collection wonderfully, with its woodsy and cozy feel. The collection is cheerful and bright, just as you will be this autumn with your animal-printed sweater, phone case, and DIY pillows to match. Here’s to all the darling forest creatures that make us smile and go “awww”!

Be sure to check out the Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas collection and her blog for more! Let us know what you think about this endearing collection. Any projects that come to mind?

Happy Sewing!
