Hello Califabrics blog readers (and anyone else who's stumbled upon this blog)! How are you doing today? I'm back with a post about underthings. Woo hoo! I have a lot of me-made items in my closet, in fact, I pretty much wear exclusively me-mades now, but one thing I am lacking in, is underthings. I've made a few bras here and there, and I have a couple of pairs of undies, but ...

Hey Everybody! What brings you over to these parts? Fabric shopping? Or maybe fabric stalking? I stalk online fabric stores fairly regularly on a daily basis, and I could easily waste away hours just browsing fabrics and dreaming up sewing projects. But I will admit that sometimes I feel overwhelmed with choice, and my to sew list gets so long, that I have a hard time staying on track. I'd like ...

Hey Califabrics blogreaders! How are you? How's the New Year going so far? For me, it's been coooooooolllldddd! I'm not sure where in the world you are, but I'm in Calgary, which is in the Western-ish part of Canada, and we are having a very snowy and cold winter this year. No outdoor pictures for me! Ha!

Hello Califabrics blog readers! How are you feeling today? It's chilly and rainy where I am, but the leaves are a beautiful gold and there's still a lovely bonfire smell in the air, so I can't really complain. When this weather hits, it's time to bust out the cozy layers. One of my favourite things to wear in the fall (and winter) is flannel. It's so soft and warm! Plus ...

Well hello there Califabrics blog followers! How are you? What are you thinking of the new Califabrics blog so far? Pretty sweet right? Such a great group of sewists, if I do say so myself. Ha! Anyway, I'm back with another pyjama themed post. I seem to be all about the lounge wear lately. When I spotted this beautiful rayon voile, I knew it was destined to become another pair of ...

Hey Everybody! How are you all doing out there? I'm doing well, but I have to admit, I'm feeling a bit nervous as I write this. I mean, I'm blogging on someone else's blog, and not just anyone's blog, a fabric store's blog! Eeeeep! How cool is this? Anyway, I better get on with it, before the boss catches me gossiping by the water cooler. When I was shopping on the CaliFabrics ...
Read MoreHi! I’m Heather and I love to sew! I fell in love with garment sewing about 3 years ago when my husband gave me a serger for Christmas. While googling serger tutorials, I stumbled upon sewing blogs and the wonderful world of Indie Patterns. I couldn’t believe that there was this huge community of people out there, making really fashionable clothes that didn’t look homemade at all. How was that ...
