WE WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY MAY 29th, 2023.
How are you spending the long weekend?
Check out this beautiful color story we built with fabrics from our current selection. It was inspired by Oregon’s very own Painted Hills. INSPIRATION IS ALL AROUND YOU! Does Nature inspire you? Let us know how in the comments below!
Getting out into nature is one of the best ways to beat creative block, and one thing the Pacific Northwest is definitely not short on is nature! We know that all you want to do is finish that project you’ve been staring at for weeks, months, or even years but sometimes when you’re stuck… you’re stuck. Oftentimes taking a day, or even just 15 minutes, to step away, clear your mind, and cleanse your creative palette is all it takes to get you back in the groove. So, get outside this weekend, enjoy an extra day off if you get one, and let yourself come back to your project with a fresh perspective and a rekindled creative spark! :D

The snow is melting and we are open. Store is open. Classes are back as scheduled. Let’s sew!

Here’s a little tip from this Friday’s activewear class with Suzi. Don’t have a serger for stretchy fabrics? Use the seed stitch on your machine. (It looks like a little lightning bolt ⚡️). Your stitches will stretch with the fabric and won’t break.

New Spring classes coming soon!

We are so excited to invite you to visit us in our new location! It’s just a block down Tillamook from our old store, but feels like it’s worlds apart. And the new Portland Fashion Institute is right upstairs. Check our bio for our new address and hours — we look forward to seeing you soon!

We’re so happy that Jena is teaching Graphic Design for us again. She’s a director at Pinecrest Fabrics where they print and dye on stretch and technical fabrics — even material made from recycled plastic bottles. Take her class and you will end up printing your own fabric yardage. She makes coming up with beautiful prints as easy as:
1 — Doing your research
2 — Controlling Adobe
3 — Turning your prints into fabulous garments.
Just saying, the link is in the bio #design #classes
