Pillow Case Kits

Do you have kids or grandkids going away to camp this Summer?  Send them off with a personalized pillow case to help chase away any homesickness.  We always have a variety of pillow case kits available in the shop. 

Pillowcase kits from The Fabric Mill

The kits make pillowcases similar to these – with a main print, coordinating print for the band, and a third fabric for an accent strip. 

The kits range in price from $13 to $16 and include the step-by-step instructions.

Each kit comes wrapped with a bow and would make a nice gift!  Give one to a beginner sewist – it’s a great first project (all straight seams, quick to finish).

Don’t Look Now….

I don't want to alarm you, but just so you know…we have Halloween fabrics in stock.

  Halloween Fabrics at the Fabric Mill

The Halloween prints are rolling in and we’re starting to (already) look towards fall.  Don’t panic though!  You still have plenty of time to plan your fall projects.  But to get the ideas flowing, I suggest you stop by and see these great prints.

Chance of Flowers Wall Hanging and Kit

 Isn’t this sweet?  This wall hanging is made using a panel from the Chance of Flowers line of fabric (Moda).  It would also make a perfect crib quilt for a new little one.  And because it's made from a panel, it is quick to sew up! 

The finished wall hanging measures 27" x 36"
