chez moi




Here are some new delicately colored designs from Chez Moi. The designer behind Chez Moi handpaints each of her designs first in traditional water colors before they are transposed into fabric. I think this gives them a very soft coloring and design sensibility. Very feminine. volksfaden

maison sajou, paris




A few weeks ago I went to the big trade fair in Cologne, Handarbeit & Hobby, and fell in love with the products of Maison Sajou. The packaging alone is fabulous, and of course the products are lovely. Pictured above are some of their 100% cotton ribbons we are now offering to you at Volksfaden.

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.

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....
