At Fabric Mart: Everybody is a busy buddy.

The upstairs is a buzzing this week as the wholesale department

prepares for the upcoming DG Expo in New York City.

There are a lot of tasks that need to be completed before we leave for New York
and the show is getting closer!

So we're keeping ourselves busy by making
the headers that will be transported and shopped at the show

as well as mailers (sample swatches) we will send to all of our wholesale customers

to allow them to see our new fabric.

So do not worry! Going to a show is not the only way you can check out our wholesale fabric.

Made by a Fabricista: A Work Wardrobe with a $50 Fabric Budget

Can you save money by sewing your own clothes? Well, that all depends on a lot of factors! I decided to challenge myself to make a new Spring work wardrobe with a $50 budget for fabric.

By ordering during one of Fabric Mart's $2/$3/$4 sales, I was able to make 8 items- 2 pants, 1 skirt, 1 dress, and 3 tops. Here's my exact order:

This took me about 6 weeks once I started. I usually sew after dinner for about an hour or two every day. It's my relaxation time. I dove right in the deep end with the jacket first.
