Today I am having a good hair day:

Elegant Stitches by Judith Baker Montano - and now available from our Online Store - is by far the best illustrated guide to simple, as well as extremely complicated, embroidery stitches. A perfect companion to our Alabama Stitch Book, our Stitchers all have copies that have been dog-eared and used over and over again...

Add Printing by Hand by Lena Corwin and you have our perfect Sewing Primer and a great gift for the Stitcher in your world.

Sewing Primer ships with one yard of our 100% Organic Cotton Jersey Fabric, two Color Cards and one spool of our Button Craft Thread.

The perfect gift - ready to give - comes tied in a bundle and shipped in our stenciled boxes...

This shawl was made from a pattern similar to the Rose Shawl pattern from page 108 of our Alabama Stitch Book. The shawl was cut in our white organic fabric (doubled layered) and the ends of the top layer were painted with the Facets Stencil using grey airbrush paint. After drying, the ends were reverse appliquéd using the instructions from Alabama Stitch Book and the shawl constructed. After construction, selected areas of the pattern were beaded with white bugles in circular patterns. Finally, the entire scarf – yes, beads and all – was over-dyed in a color similar to our storm blue.

This Is For You by Rob Ryan - a beautiful inspiration & glimpse into the world of Rob Ryan. One of our favorite artists, we were lucky to do a collaboration with Rob for our Fall/Winter 2004 collection.
