Correction: Free To Grow Fabric Collection


I just found out from Robert Kaufman that some of the fabrics I ordered from the Free To Grow organic cotton fabric collection are on back order until September (sniff). All came from the Summer colorway, the dark greys and hot pinks (sniff sniff). But, such is the world of fabric and we have a lot of great fabric to celebrate in the meantime. The fabrics that are on the way are pictured above. I split them into the two colorways below, to give you an idea how they coordinate. I'm still hoping to bring in the Spring (chocolates and blues) colorway towards the end of July.

Quick Shop Update

  • It's been a busy week keeping up with the Beyond The Sea Martha Sale! Don't forget, today's the last day of the sale, although you'll find that some of the fabrics have sold out for now. I'll be reordering in a few weeks!
  • I finally had the time to photograph Circa 50, for those of you who prefer to see photos of the fabric rather than the manufacturer's artwork. Each fabric now has a few different views, including one with a ruler for scale. You can check it out on each fabric's page in the shop and also in the Modern Organic Fabrics Flickr Pool.
  • The Coming Soon page has been updated, go take a look at what's coming our way! Lots of great fabric!
  • We all like looking at pictures of fabric here, don't we? I'll be featuring some of the Coming Soon fabrics this week in more detail.
