Designer Patty Young has further rounded out her already-impressive resume with her new book Sewing ModKid Style, published by Wiley Craft. I am excited to play hostess to her blog tour today. Now, there have been books about sewing for girls, but Patty’s is unique in that it focuses on sewing with knits for girls. [...]
Ottobre is a very highly regarded magazine of children’s clothing patterns. The Finnish company also publishes women’s clothing issues a couple times a year. If you’ve ever sewn with them or just flipped through, you’ve probably wondered about the great fabrics they use and figured that the apparel fabric stores in Finland must be amazing. [...]
I hope you don’t mind me paying all this attention to knits lately … since I started sewing with them for baby #2 they’ve been an obsession. These are from Znok Design of Sweden, and can be purchased directly from Znok, the U.S.-based Nature’s Fabrics, Vermiljoenshop in Belgium, and Crafty Mamas in Australia. (That should [...]

These knits are part of the Nani Iro 10th Anniversary collection for Kokka. All the prints in this collection are stunning, but I just love how these all look together. Matatabi (disclosure: True Up sponsor) has them all, and has some nice up-close photos so you can see the pattern that is knitted into the [...]
{ Folklore Fish interlock knit for Ikasyr } I found Finnish designer Hanna Ruusulampi through Spoonflower, which led me not only to her amazing online portfolio (see English version of the fabric portfolio here) but also to a treasure trove of Finnish fabric shops. Hanna designed the interlock knit design Folklore Fish for the shop/mini-manufacturer [...]
{ Harmony Art‘s knit prints } I have to admit, though I have a few yards of it in my stash, I’ve never sewn with knits in my life. But Stitch Simple‘s recent Great Knit Fabric Experiment is getting me motivated. If you aren’t already familiar with Stitch Simple, it’s an online shop offering [...]
Australia’s Ink & Spindle have introduced a wonderful new hand screenprinted organic cotton jersey range, which includes their first kid-centric designs. They’ve also just announced some new designs and colorways for their wovens — pay a visit to their blog or shop to see! Related posts: Ink & Spindle Ink & Spindle Up & Running [...]
