Store-bought boardshorts for boys tend to be pretty ugly print-wise (I either try not to care or opt for a solid, maybe with a smart racing stripe or some piping). But The Fabric Fairy has this boardshort fabric (a polyester microfiber) which is awfully cute. I’d never considered making my kids’ swim trunks till now. Related [...]
Kanvas is a new studio under the Benartex umbrella that focuses on more modern and novelty-based collections. They won a double booth award for their display of the Lilly Pulitzer-inspired Lili-fied by designer Greta Lynn. Rest your eyes with the pastel tones of Cabana, because from here on out it’s going to get [...]
Timeless Treasures is starting to corner the market in computer geek fabrics. I think everyone loved Smirk by Kyla May, with its Pac Man and Space Invaders prints. Next up, we have Mechanical Genius by Mo Bedell. And, a couple cute novelty mini-collections: Computer (an in-house collection) Gumball Machines. OK, maybe not geeky per [...]
Michael Miller has always had the greatest retro Kids prints, and their new kids collections continue that tradition. I love the Happy Birthday print (why has no one done that before?) — it would make a sweet quilt backing, tablecloth for birthday parties, and of course bunting as its little coordinate suggests.

Not long after launching the shop three years ago, she started her own fabric company, Birch Fabrics, and helped expand the selection of modern, organic fabrics on the market. She also [...]
Houston, Texas-based designer Patty Sloniger is Michael Miller‘s newest fabric designer! Her collection Backyard Babies won the hotly contested Project Selvage contest. I was won over by her charming coordinates. I’m looking forward to seeing it and the girl version when it’s introduced at Fall Quilt Market later this year.

Spoonflower has profiles of each of the 10 finalists in Michael Miller‘s Project Selvage (full disclosure: MM/Project Selvage is a sponsor of the site). I loved hearing about everyone’s thought processes, experience, and inspirations. These 10 are now hard at work on rounding out their collections (of six prints total), which will be up on [...]
{ Shipyard } Timeless Treasures has a few new GOTS-certified organic fabric collections, and I think the prints are just stellar (Shipyard, above, being my favorite, on account of the mother-of-boys thing). Here are some of the prints, shown with a coordinate … to see the entire collections just click on the images. Have you [...]
