Kim Kight's new collection, Sugar Cone, arrived today in the middle of wet snow and a dull grey sky. It felt like just the tonic we needed to boost our spirits and start thinking about fun sewing projects.
A sweet group if there ever was one (har har)
We have restocked and added some fun new Hook Line and Tinker kits.
These make terrific Christmas presents. They come with everything including the needle and the hoop and most are beginner friendly with well written instructions.
Pick out a cheeky kit from this excellent Nova Scotia small business.
This pretty collection has lots of vintage charm, especially if you were around in the '70's (which a few of us were). The little flowers, sweet dots and pretty palette if going to spark all kinds of new mod sewing.
Note, the pink cheater print is almost gone but we're trying to source more and will add a pre-order listing as soon as we know it's coming.
Yes, we will have Black Friday deals but we have a lot more planned.
We're hoping you'll sign up to join us to make a felt holiday ornament and raise money for Michael Garron Hospital Foundation. Choose between an 11:00 or 1:30 start for 90 minutes of stitching and cheer. Shirley Dawson will be there to share embroidery techniques and give you more ideas.
We will supply everything and 100% of the fee will be donated.
ALSO - Get your scissors sharpened! Our favourite sharpener will be here with his equipment from 11:00AM - 1:00PM. When you spend $20.00 to get your scissors sharpened and they will donate $2.00 to Michael Garren Hospital. They also do kitchen knives. When you spend $12.00 on a knife, they will donate $2.00.
No more taping together dozens of pages of pattern pieces!
After lots of research, planning, a false start, learning, testing, all manner of procrastination on my part, and team effort (Jan and Jan's family!), we are excited to announce that we are now printing your PDF patterns.
It's easy. Just send us your PDF file online and we'll send you your printed AO size, (printer's copy, 36" wide) pattern. Or you can pop in to pick it up.
All the details are here, so while printers can test my patience like almost nothing else in the world, we honestly can't wait to start printing your patterns. If you have any questions email us at create@fabricsparkteam.com.
