She came to visit us!
Meet Peggy, she is one of our first blog followers and a great customer.
Read about her visit to see us!
Peggy's creativeness to transform fabrics into unique, yet wonderful clothing ceases to amaze me.
We asked Peggy to be featured on our blog because she was trying different things and having fun.
We picked two of her posts that I thought best represented her blog to show you.
Look at the top she made out of Julie's Pick samples!
We love how she was inspired by this dress and recreated it. It was especially enjoyable to see that she didn't just blog about the final product, she showed her trials and errors each step of the way until she successfully completed the project. Check out each step in this recreation! It took her a few attempts and some perfectionism, but it looks great!
A great reconstruction!

Her second inspiring post was about reconstructing old clothing into a new piece. She used her resources to piece together a brand new shirt. How creative! 
It is great to see someone take a fresh approach on fashion and not be afraid to try think outside of the box.
Visit Peggy's blog to see more of her great projects. We hope you come visit us again soon!

    Thanks so much for the nice write-up you gave me on your blog! I love Fabric Mart as do my 3 friends who made the trip there with me--you can find their great blogs on my trip write-up blog. They are all different and have some great stuff they've made from FabricMart fabrics. Looking forward to another FM trip soon! peg

Made by a Fabricista: For the Love of Flowy Dresses!

By
Hello Gems! I am so excited to share with you my first look as a Fabric Mart Fabricista! This season I have been so inspired by floor length dresses and flowy frocks so when I ran across this beautiful Pink Purple & Green Double Georgette, I knew it would make the perfect midi dress. (You can find the fabric  HERE  if it's still available!) First let me just start by saying, when I received this fabric I was elated. The colors are even more spectacular in person than online. This is a double georgette fabric so it is sheer but not transparent. It's lightweight and very drapey! With enough volume from gathers or ruffles, you could create a gorgeous frock possibly without any lining. If you are looking to create something a little more fitted I would definitely suggest going with a lining. However, this fabric is great for the Spring and Fall seasons and even with a little layering you can get away with wearing it in the winter, especially if your Winters aren’t too cold.  Fo

Made by a Fabricista: Frozen for Fashion

2021 Trendwatch: Frozen for Fashion @nicoleangelinesews It is cold. Just so, so cold here in the Midwest. However, my winter sewing got away from me and so instead of being behind, I want to get ahead with some spring makes. Since this is my first post as a Fabricista, I got a little ambitious and wanted to hit a bunch of 2021 trends: Pantone colors of the year, pastels, and the trench. With these points in mind, I scoured the Fabric Mart website and thanks to their amazing variety, found exactly what I was looking for. These makes felt a little odd to plan in February, but once they were done, I started to get giddy for it to start warming up here in the Midwest. Which will probably be in May. Also importantly, February is Black History Month, so I wanted to make with a Black designer’s pattern. The Black sewing community has been so crucial to my development as a sewist--they are a constant source of inspiration, joy, and help--and I wanted to highlight one designer’s work with this
