Gray hoodie with black geometric tribal print, featuring hood, long sleeves, and contrast cuffs — ideal for apparel sewing projects.

Sew & Tell — March 2026

Marcy says, 'Love this well thought out hoodie in a design interpretation that is a cut above the ubiquitious hoodie!' Our sewing friend/customer, Eve, used our Petroglyph Fleece, sold out for now, (but we will re- stock it for next Fall),  and pattern Grasser #419. Grasser is a German online pattern company with an extensive line of patterns. Eve adapted the sweatshirt pattern buy adding a hood and pocket, then took the design to another dimension by adding piping and black contrast.

The website Textillia has a page showing all of Kathryn Brynne's OOP patterns. Take a look - fabulous designs, worth tracking down and collecting. Marcy says, 'I always coveted this fabric. If I ever find more, I'll scoop it up!'

Red textured wool coat with black leather trim and buttons, perfect for fashion sewing projects

Sew & Tell — March 2026

Fashion experts say that every woman can use a red coat in her wardrobe and this one is a beauty! Patricia used a beefy wool boucle paired with faux black leather using the Onde coat pattern. Beautifully done - and sewing with faux leather is not for the faint of heart, much less combining it with a thick boucle! All the details work beautifully together, down to the black buttons and peek of black at the pocket opening.
