Before I left for college, I had TONS of fabric. I kept it through college, used a bit of it while still buying fabric, then at some point (i must be blocking the memory), I dumped it all. I know…WHAT WAS I THINKING?
I now have to order on-line because the only local place is . Francesca has an amazing selection of cotton fabric. (I hope she expands her fabric selection to encompass material other than cotton made for quilting!).
I was super pleased to get this package in the mail from Kristin and Beth, I think, really have their finger on the pulse of their customers. My package arrived super quick! I opened it to find these fabulous little packages. First – the fabric and pattern, sealed in plastic, protecting my new treasures. Then, the awesome hand written note thanking me for my order, in a package that contained a little fat quarter (from a promo) and a magnet business card. No doubt one of my NEW favorite places to shop. And there’s nothing like supporting other women in business. You go GIRLS!
Now this was such a contrast from my order from . I’ve shopped in their store when . It’s a treasure chest of knits and basically 3 floors piled high with bolts. Too much to go through on a lunch hour (even an extended one). I placed the order on-line. (I need knits for my wrap dress and couldn’t find even a SOLID FREAKIN’ KNIT in all of Western Mass. that would be suitable for this pattern ARRGGHHH makes me really miss the city).
This is what I got in the mail a few days later:
A rumpled Freakin’ mess.
I folded them neatly so you could see what they look like:
I was astonished at the difference. Clearly – Spandex World is about the $$, but Sew, Mama, Sew! is making relationships. I’ll definitly order from Sew, Mama, Sew! again. I’ll look harder for knits from somewhere else. Anybody have a great on-line knit source? Share!
This outfit sure does bring back fun memories.
I have had the same experience as you. I have ordered designer fabric from a variety of online stores but have found the best service and selection at . This company has a wide variety of designer fabric which you can look at at . Prints, weaves, silks and all at discount pricing.
OOOh that picture of the dog pattern dress is toooo cute!
I recently had to check out this store for work and I thought of you…it’s right in Springfield. I’ve been there but not for a while….I think they have the biggest selection in western MA for sure.
