I''m thrilled to announce two new additions to the color-grown cotton collection. Read all about them on the blog http://www.craftingfashion.com/2016/05/additions-to-natural-color-grown-cotton.html

Are you a fan of sweater knit fabrics, but have yet to take that big step and sew your first sweater? Do you fear cutting into this stretchy fabric that sometimes frays and runs? Then this announcement is for you.

I'll be teaching How to Sew Sweater Knits at Workroom Social in Brooklyn on Saturday, March 12, 2016. It's an all day workshop, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, lunch and treats included!
