Cool Fabrics from Japan

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads of kids and pets....and, note that Mr Urban Sew needs new shirts!! #fathersday

I made another #modkidkyra - no model this time, cause she's in California...but I know she will love this because she squealed when she saw the fabric! The pattern is available now, and all the @pattyyoung patterns are on sale through tomorrow for 40% off...code is KYRA40 #modkid #sewingforgirls

A new pattern coming this Wednesday from @pattyyoung - it took longer to pick the fabric and tape the pattern together than it did to sew it! The kid LOVES it!! #modkid #modkidkyra

Now I can share this #swoonpatterns Denver backpack that was a birthday gift for @sipofginger - super fun sew! #bagofthemonthclub #bagineer

This little #mugrug got sent off. I hope my partner likes it! #beentheremugrugswap @sunflower_quilt

A linen summer dress...what could be better? Pattern is the #oliverands Birthday Party dress. A great pattern! #urbansewfabricshop #sewingforgirls

Take One of my #beentheremugrugswap - if you strategically place the mug, you wont see my glaring mistakes...My first time doing #quiltasyougo and I really like it! Take Two starting now!

Perfect weather for a summer dress...this is the Newport from @simplelifepatterns made in a quilting cotton. There is a cute pocket option, but I did the quick version. The back is super cute!! #slpconewport #slpco

I'm finally getting to sew this weekend. I started a new job where I have to actually go to an office every day. Ugh. Swipe to see the view from my fancy schmancy office. This dress pattern has been calling me for a long time...hope I can get it done today! #oliverands

This is me. My great-aunt used to make the majority of my clothes. I distinctly remember picking the purple velveteen and the trim at a fabric store in Cambridge. I know this is the same pattern because I actually remember it. Julia just needs to get a bit bigger, and I'm going to make one for her. #vintagepatterns #vintagesewing #vintagestyle
