To Market, To Market With My New Bag

I'm off to Quilt Market to scout some new organic fabrics. I'll be sure to take photos and show you what I find.

I had planned to make myself a very cute and fancy new tote for market, but alas life got in the way yet again and I ended up making myself a cute but plain tote instead. Pattern is from Japanese craft book Linen Wool Cotton (English version) and was silly-easy to make. I used lightweight organic cotton / hemp denim, which I am currently sold out of, but will be restocking soon.

So tune in next week for photos of the fantastic new organic cotton collections coming our way and I will leave you with a sneak peek of Cloud9's upcoming organic cotton FLANNEL (!) collection called Forest Friends, which will include 6 prints and 3 solids.

Coming Soon: Circa 50 from Birch Fabrics

I know you're just as excited as I am about the new Circa 50 organic cotton fabric collection from Birch Fabrics. They now have an arrival date of mid-June, you can sign up to receive an email when I get them here. While were waiting so patiently, let's look at the fabric in action.

Below are some photos from Cynthia Mann's (owner of Birch Fabrics) son's birthday party with a Circa 50 theme!

And some photos from Make It Perfect's Flickr photostream,  found in the Modern Organic Fabrics Flickr group:
