Read MoreThe Farrow Dress is a great pull on dress. It could be worn with leggings and a T shirt underneath for a layered look.
We always follow the instructions on the pattern, but if I were making this for myself I would do a few things differently.
Sizes run from 0 – 18 and it is a loose fitting style. Our garment is a size 12. You might shorten the dress a bit and wear it with leggings. Yardages below are for the long sleeve view.
For 54-60″ fabric and sizes 0-8 purchase 3 1/4yds; sizes 10-18 purchase
3 3/4yds.
For 45″ fabric, and sizes 0-10 purchase 3 1/2yds; size 12-18 purchase 4yds
We decided to use one of our new knits for this dress. These knits are not very stretchy and worked well for the pattern. You just want to use a fabric that has a nice drap. These knits are about 60″ wide.
If knits give you the shakes, then try one of our newest rayons for this dress. Our rayons are 45″ wide.

Read MoreThis little collection of prints is from Contempo Sutdio, a division of Benartex Fabrics.
These adroable elephants are each carrying
something. It might be a baby elephant, two squirrels,
or a mouse holding a kite.
Each of the blocks is approximately 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″.
I was thinking what cute mug rugs these could be
by adding just a backing an a little quilting.
There are a total of 32 elephant blocks in each panel.
This coordinating stripe should be called “The Standoff”
as one elephant in each row is going the wrong way.
Each elephant row is approximatley 4 1/2″ tall so they
will mix well with the blocks.
The coordinates are all small prints with those great color combinations.
Read MoreOver the years, we have found one of the most enduring fabric themes is chickens. Seems most of us like chicken fabric, even if we don’t think much about chickens.
Fiesta chickens is a digitally printed panel that includes 9 chickens (or roosters).
Each block is approximately 12″ with a large enough sashing in between so you won’t loose any of the block when you cut them apart.
Bet you can think of lots of great things to make with these blocks.
The coordinates to this panel are great stand alone prints.
