I am currently obsessed with lace and luckily Fabric Mart is filling my craving!
It is paradise here with all the new lace trims online and the beautiful lace available for wholesale.

I've been swooning over my options and decided to take some time to peak around Pinterest for ideas.
I found so many adorable ways to utilize the new trims on our website.

Venice lace is absolutely gorgeous, but big projects can get a little pricey.
Here are some projects I found that only use a little so you can enjoy the lace
without spending all your fabric allowance! -Kaitlin
1. Lace Cuff- Make your own using a piece of lace and fabric stiffener!
2. Give an old scarf a fresh look with a touch of lace at the ends! 
3. Add a little lace to fancy up your high heels! Just apply with a bit of fabric glue. 
4. Sweeten your favorite denim shorts with lace patches. 
5. Trim your plain long sleeves with a taste of elegance! 

6. Create a beautiful place to hang your jewelry with a recycled frame and a few pieces of lace. 
7. Make little lace chandeliers by attaching lace to a wood hoop. 
8. Decorate your tabletop with a strip of lace wrapped around a bottle or candle.
9. Revive your favorite old denim shorts with lace trim. 
10. Wrap lace trims around candle holders, flower pots, vase, etc! 
11. Make over a boring cardigan with trim on either side of the buttons!

Made By A Fabricista: Why Sew A Muslin

By
Here it is, my September blog post featuring Newlook N6692 and this pretty rayon challis from Fabric Mart! This pattern style is so in right now. The square neckline, cute puff sleeves and the tiered skirt are all exactly what I was looking for in a summer dress. As always I started with making a muslin first!  Let’s get into why it’s important to start with a muslin.  A muslin is basically a practice garment. It prevents you from cutting into your good fabric prematurely.  I usually use a muslin fabric (natural cotton) but you should also consider using a fabric that is the same weight as your fashion fabric. This will give you a truer gauge of how the garment is going to lay in the final fabric. Anytime I try out a new pattern company I make a muslin. This was my first time using a Newlook pattern so I need to know what the ease would be like for this pattern. Also I need to see how the bust would fit me and where I would need to make adjustments. Plus there were some new techniques

Made By A Fabricista: End of Summer Swimsuits

By
My kids have been in desperate need of new swimsuits this summer, but with a busy season of moving house and spending nearly a month in Australia, it left barely any sewing time! When I spotted a whole collection of Beach Riot swim fabric land at Fabric Mart, I knew it was just the motivation I needed to get new suits made! Last year my eldest was on swim team and I was floored at the cost of her suit - somewhere in the ballpark of $80! Using less than a yard of fabric and some elastic, swimsuits are incredibly cheap to make yourself! I ultimately selected three prints and four solids (one being a beige color I intended to use as lining), with input from my children to get their preferred designs. I made an initial sketch in Photoshop to get a visual on what they would look like, and then made a few more changes once the fabric arrived. The easiest suit to make was my son's - I used Jalie Gerald underwear and Nico raglan. This was my first time making Gerald and I loved how quickl

Made By A Fabricista: The Love of Sewing - Basic Pieces for a Beginner

By
Happy Friday All! It has been a while since I made myself a dress. I am excited to sew after not making anything since my last post (whew) and finally sharing some photos.  This past summer has been a roller coaster journey with plans to release a small collection and then deciding that right before the launch to postpone. Sewing has brought me joy over the past 8 years and the mere fact to sew daily for orders had me in a panic mode. I really don’t want to walk away from my craft due to burn out  and decided that if I do sew for others, it would be only for local clients. Moreover, If next year I decide to launch, it would be seasonal and not year round. I really want to share my talent and love for sewing with others but don’t want it to be a full time job and lose the passion in me.  After a bit of soul searching, teaching and sharing my talent with my community will always be my first love. For the past 2 summers, I was blessed to partner with two nonprofit organizations’ local sum
