New Patterns Available at Fabric Mart!

I'm proud to announce that we are now carrying three new pattern lines. We polled our Facebook fans and they helped us decide which three they would be interested in us carrying. I could have picked a lot more than three different companies, but my goal was to start small and work my way up. I also have to think about our customer base and the type of fabrics we carry. Most of our customers are sewing for themselves and are sewing more casual, everyday items. 

Here are the selected pattern companies: 

1) Petite Plus Patterns

We get requests for plus size patterns all the time. There isn't a huge selection out there and when I came across Petite Plus Patterns, I got really excited! They come in sizes 12-24. I selected some great basics such as buttondown shirt, pants, blazer, dress and skirt.  


2) Tilly and the Buttons 

I've heard a lot of Tilly and the Buttons patterns on blogs. People were going crazy over the retro, yet modern designs. So we took the plunge and ordered all of the patterns they have to offer. The great thing about ordering them from us is you don't have to pay for shipping from the UK. 


3) Jalie Patterns 

More and more customers are buying the activewear and swimwear knits that we carry, so I thought it would be great to offer activewear patterns, too. You can't really have one without the other.  So we picked a group of activewear patterns and fashion patterns that work well with fabrics that we carry. The cool thing about their patterns is that they include girls sizes and some plus sizes as well. So whether you're sewing for yourself or a little girl in your life, you get more bang for your buck! (I'm excited to see that these patterns have been going well on our site. In the first week, we sold out of half the patterns and reordered. I again, have been selling out and will be placing another order.) Do you have a Jalie Pattern you would like us to see? 

If the patterns keep selling, we will continue to add more lines, but we're going to try and keep it fresh. So as spring approaches, I may cut back on winter-type patterns and focus on spring and summer patterns. 

Fabric Mart would like to be able to give you a one-stop shop for all your fabric/pattern/sewing needs. While we understand that some of you would rather pick up what you need at your local fabric store, we know there are a number of you that don't have any fabric stores near you. Online shopping is the only way for you to access fabric. We're proud to be able to offer that to you. 

Along with these three pattern lines, we also carry select patterns from- Pamela's Patterns, Colette Patterns, and Thread Theory Design Inc

Pamela's Patterns recently came out with the Classic T-Shirt Dress. She featured this pattern on an episode of Sewing with Nancy. 


Thread Theory Design Inc is a men's sewing pattern company and we're proud to carry their line of patterns. They also have one women's shirt pattern, although we are sold out of it at the moment. Colette Patterns is a favorite among sewists and we carry just a few of their patterns. We are sold out of most at the moment, but just put an order in for more. 

What other pattern lines would you like to see us carry?

  6. Pauline Alice has lovely patterns and beautiful instructions! Also, I recently made a Merchant and Mills top and it was so much fun! What about Style Arc? I also agree with Sew Over It and Deer and Doe. Papercut and Named, too.

    (I want them all, obviously!)

  7. Sewaholic (http://www.sewaholicpatterns.com/) would be really nice! I love that they design with "accommodating" hips in mind.

    Also, Sew Liberated (http://sewliberated.com/) has a lot of patterns I've wanted to try, as well as Style Arc as mentioned by Colleen.

    Whatever companies you end up adding, I still love that you are making them available and expanding the offerings. I greatly appreciate being able to buy fabric, patterns and my favorite brand of thread in one place!

Made By A Fabricista: Did someone say FREE??? All about Free Sewing Patterns

Hi sewing friends! I am SEW excited to share this blog post with you today! This is my fifth post with Fabric Mart since I did a guest post late last year and then joined the blogging team in 2024 but I would say this is the post that 1) I worked the hardest to create, and 2) the one that has me the most excited! Today I am going to talk about FREE sewing patterns, showcase a few free patterns I’ve sewn, and then share some very exciting news at the end of this post about an upcoming! First, let’s talk about free patterns – where they come from, why they exist, and how you can find them. But first, here’s a recent free pattern I sewed. This is the Finn Crop Tee from Petite Stitchery . I used an ITY (Interlock Twist Yarn) for this one and I was able to squeeze it out a yard of a fabric. ITY is one of my favorite fabrics to dress up a t-shirt and it wears well across all seasons. And Fabric Mart gets the most AMAZING designer deadstock designs you will ever see!

Made By A Fabricista: Well Suited for Fall

Fall is my favorite time of the year! The weather is cooling down and I'm always excited to transition into the cooler weather. I get to create with some of my favorite fabrics and I'm always inspired by all the cool fashion trends for the season. So for this month's fabricista feature I snagged some cool medium-weight twill fabric in a beautiful warm cinnamon color.   This fabric has a medium bottom weight feel to it, great for pants, outerwear, jackets, boiler suits and more. I used a needle suited for medium weighted woven fabrics and my serger for finishing raw edges. The color of this fabric is so warm and inviting. I think it is the perfect color for Fall. I couldn’t wait to create a fall ensemble with this fabric. I chose Simplicity Pattern S9893 because I’ve been dying to create this pattern since it launched. It is a cool cape with cargo pockets, storm flaps, hidden buttons at the shoulder, a collar with button tabs and even more button tabs at the underarm. This c

Made By A Fabricista: From Fabric to Finish Line: Creating My Running Gear

In 2021, I ran my first 5k; I was instantly hooked. I loved the instant sense of accomplishment of crossing the finish line & completing something, but all in all at the time I was absolutely no good at running. Now in 2024, I am an avid runner. I absolutely love running & I still love completing races. It had never crossed my mind to sew any running clothes until lately, but I’m sure glad I did.  On Fabric Mart they had the most amazing windbreaker like animal fabric & I knew it would be a perfect match. For the jacket I decided to block it so that it would give it a bit of extra definition. The actual fabric was really easy to sew with & to cut, however, it was a bit hard to pin & left needle marks within the fabric so I suggest using clips instead. I absolutely loved how it turned out. The pattern that I used for the jacket is a free sewing pattern from Mood Fabrics called the Cory Jacket. It is a fairly simple sew & can be made in a day.  For the shorts, I u
