a t-shirt for hardcore sewing addicts

I think we need to come up with a suitable motto to go along with this t-shirt.

“Sew or Die”?
“Arrr me Seamstresses”?
“The Jolly Fiber Artist”?
“Give me embroidery or give me death”?
That’s the “Jolly Crafter” t-shirt from Very Big Designs, by the way.

color forecasts for sewing enthusiasts

My sister-in-law just sent me this inspiring website from Cosmoworlds - their winter 2008/2009 forecasts!
They’ve come up with four set of colors, as well as their picks for the hot fabrics too - seriously yummy!

“Construct”

“Preserve”

“Reflect”

and last but not least “Revive”.
I can definitely work with those colors - good inspiration for a grey day!

why not treat yourself when you’re shopping?

Fabric.com is holding a “Naughty & Nice” sale this weekend.

When you spend a certain amount online (for fabric to make gifts for other people, right?) they’ll give you a gift back - a gift certificate.  Of course, you can then buy something for yourself then :-)
