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.
(Didn't know we did 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: Celebrating warm weather with Spring sewing!

By
Hi sewing friends! I don’t know about you but boy, was winter cold and dreary this year! The weather here in the Philadelphia area has been slowly improving, but Spring sure did take her sweet old time to arrive. So by April, I was definitely in the headspace of needing to sew up things that were either bright and cheery or meant for the warmer weather I am very much craving right now. I recently purchased a few SewBexx Patterns so I took them on a test run to create some Spring makes. First on my list was to make a top using this absolutely gorgeous ITY fabric I picked up last year. I had two yards which was enough for a long sleeve shirt. I chose the Olivia top, which is oversized with a drop shoulder, has multiple lengths and a split hem. I think the pattern is intended for heavier fabrics but I was envisioning how lovely this top would look with the drape of ITY knit fabric, and it did not disappoint. It came together for me quickly and was a straight forward sew…and I love the br...

Made By A Fabricista: Stripes For Spring

By
Hi everyone!   It’s finally warming up here in southeastern Pennsylvania and I wanted to make a light, flowy dress for springtime. I snagged a vintage Laura Ashley pattern from Joanns on one of my last trips there. I somehow didn’t have anything in my pattern stash with a sweetheart neckline, so I thought it would be a good addition. The pattern calls for a giant gathered skirt, so I knew I would need something lightweight and drapey for it.  Something like a pink striped cotton fine seersucker. The fabric is light and has a really nice drape, almost like a challis . I knew it would gather beautifully. I  got to work cutting everything out, with help from my assistant. When I say the skirt is massive I mean it.  I ran into an issue right away where my fabric isn't wide enough to cut the back panel without opening the fabric out. And my three yards of fabric wasn’t enough to cut two back panels. I ran into this issue last year when making my pinafore dress . In ...

Made By A Fabricista | Chasing Time: My White Rabbit-Inspired Look for Atlanta Frocktails

By
For this year’s Atlanta Frocktails, I found myself captivated by a character who’s been quietly tugging at my imagination for years—the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. There’s something so relatable about his frantic energy, always checking the time, always running late. While he’s worried about being on time, I’m usually calculating how late I can be and still technically arrive on time. Spoiler: I’m often wrong. It’s a cycle of procrastination and anxiety that I know all too well. So when I imagined my look for Frocktails, I thought—why not honor the White Rabbit? After all, time has been chasing me too. But this look isn’t just about Wonderland whimsy. It’s also deeply inspired by this year’s Met Gala theme, Tailored for You, which includes a focus on Black Dandyism—a celebration of Black elegance, intellect, and expressive style. I’ve been obsessed with this theme since it was announced. As a Black creative, I find it powerful and moving to see style used as a way to reclaim...
