coated fabric



Here is a fabric from Westfalenstoffe that is perfect for April showers... it has a teflon-silicone coating that is water resistant. This snazzy raincoat pictured above was sewn as a sample for Westfalenstoffe using this fabric... pretty cute.

cut*leute machen kleider



Our first magazine in our magazine category was just put online. It is the German DIY magazine Cut*Kleider Machen Leute. We have the newest issue, #3, but also still have #2 isues which are, from what I gather, pretty much sold out. There are some very cool things in both issues, my daughter grabbed my issue #3 and has decided it is hers, but I did get to glance through it before it was taken....a very fun oversized t-shirt is in #3, also info on creating your own label, sewing patterns and so much more.

david walker





Here are from some very girly fabrics from a guy. David Walker has done a couple of collections for little guys but this is his first little girl collection "Hopscotch". Pink, of course plays a prominent role, as do little girls playing ring around the rosie, jumping rope and just being cute! See the fabrics here....

happy easter


The Easter photographs were quite a big thing when I was growing up, which as you can see on this photo was in the sixties!!!! We dressed up in our Easter finery, which by the way yes indeed, included gloves and a hat, and went outside to face the elements. Often an icy wind was blowing and our teeth were chattering while my Dad took our pictures one after another, with our baskets, without our baskets, alone, and then again all together! Small price to pay though for the wondrous Easter baskets with those amazing Fannie Farmer creme filled eggs....
Happy Easter all! Frohe Ostern!
