Julie's Picks Swatch Club - 2016 Memberships are Being Accepted!

Attention all fabricholics! This is a must read post!

We're now taking memberships for next year's Julie's Picks! I've done posts about Julie's Picks in the past, but it's always good to remind people about the club, the benefits and how to join.

Julie's Picks was started many years ago. It was actually known as Sample Cut Club. When I started working at Fabric Mart, they assigned me to take it over and also wanted to re-brand it. Hence the name, Julie's Picks. Sample Cut Club was a members only club that featured fabrics from the sample rooms of New York designers. Not very much has changed over the years as far as fabrics being picked, but it has changed in that there are more benefits than ever before.

Julie's Picks is a members-only swatch club. I hand pick 30 different fabrics each month. These fabrics are different than things on our website. Sometimes these fabrics coordinate together, sometimes there are a group of the same fabric but different prints offered. I made a video a few months ago explaining Julie's Picks. Not the greatest, but it gets the point across!

We also put together "10 Benefits of Being a Julie's Picks Member". This pretty much sums up all the reasons you should become a member. Check it out HERE.

Our customers give many reasons as to why they like Julie's Picks. Some customers love fabric so much they can't get enough! Some don't like buying fabric online, so this is their way to buy fabric. Some customers join so they can learn more about fabric. If you are a Julie's Picks member, why do you like it?

We're now offering 2016 memberships! Membership is $50 for a year (January-December). Plus, you will receive a $25 gift certificate good toward any fabric purchase. The certificate will be included with the January mailer. Plus, if you join now, you will receive the rest of the year for free! AND if it doesn't get any better, the first 200 members will get a FREE surprise notion gift! *To receive the free gift, you must purchase the membership with a fabric order. (Due to shipping costs, we will not be sending the free gift separately or holding the free gift until you place a fabric order.)

Made by a Fabricista: Brushed Wool/Cashmere Car Coat

I've been eyeing the Michael Kors Wool Blend Coatings for some time now. Fabric Mart had the most gorgeous array of coating colors that I have ever seen! During COVID stay at home time, I've been letting my gray grow out, and I thought that even though those gorgeous sherbet shades like apricot and apple green would be beautiful, the heathered gray shade would be the most flattering to my gray hair and the most versatile. Apparently, others thought the same, as the gray is sold out now, but there are still many colors available here: Coating Category When I received my fabric, I was just astonished at how soft it was and what a beautiful drape it had. I searched and searched for the perfect pattern- changing my mind at least a dozen times before I settled on Simplicity 3672. This is one of the few patterns that only was available in sizes 18-24, and not in smaller sizes. It is about 10 years old, but there are definitely copies available on the internet. I made a cr

Made by a Fabricista: Jungle fun!

Animal prints are e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e! So much so, that my hubby noticed and commented. :) Not one to try and be left out, I drooled over this cute print! It appears to be sold out, so here are some fun choices! Animal prints I have been wearing so many light layers lately since the weather can't decide what it wants to do this time of year. I knew I wanted a cardigan and to make a sort of 'modern' twin set sort of look, I grabbed enough to make a top I could wear underneath or by itself. I love how textured this knit is! Let me show you, and tell you what I did to accommodate a textured knit fabric. Here is a photo of the back. You can see what the back looks like to imagine what the texture looks like on the front. Don't let ridges scare you! They are easy to sew. Here's what I did. Use a lot of pins or clips. Personally, I love the clips. They fasten easily and unclip easily. Sew a few inches, lift the presser foot, and repeat. Sometimes the
