FabricLady: Be Creative with Border Prints!
http://fabriclady3.blogspot.com/2015/08/be-creative-with-border-prints.html
STONEMOUNTAIN and DAUGHTER FABRICS. Monday, August 3, 2015. Be Creative with Border Prints! Inspiration from the High Style exhibit at the Legion of Honor Museum! A case in point: a basic pants pattern. Can become a statement garment just by using a border print. The palazzo pants that we're so in love with would be even more stunning by incorporating a border print on the legs. I love getting creative with how the fabric can be laid out to create new design looks! In Berkeley: Alison Glass batik. Since ...

STONEMOUNTAIN and DAUGHTER FABRICS. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Falling for a Soft Knit Dress. Fall is on the horizon, and I've been thinking about dresses! Finding a great dress pattern is easy, but if you're not used to wearing them, then it becomes a little more problematic! When I saw our customer Ruth's Lynn Mizono Vogue 1312 dress made in one of our imported Japanese cotton double gauze, I fell in love with the pattern and the fabric. Remember that there is no "one-size fits all" stitch for knits&...

STONEMOUNTAIN and DAUGHTER FABRICS. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Finding the Right Fit. One of the main reasons that we sew is to create a garment that fits us correctly. Most sewists will agree that getting a pattern to fit is the toughest part of sewing garments for yourself since our bodies are so different from the "fit model" and dimensions of the pattern. 19 years ago, I began our sewing school. At Stonemountain and Daughter. Make The E.S.P Dress. Fitting The Plus Bust. Mini Beginning and Beyond. You al...

STONEMOUNTAIN and DAUGHTER FABRICS. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. You Can't Overdo a Good Thing! If you're anything like me, when you find the perfect pair of shoes and they fit like a dream, you buy one in every color! Sewing garments is the same - when you find a pattern that works, you can't just make one, especially if the style is versatile and goes anywhere. We love the ease and comfort of Sandra Betzina's Vogue 1336 dress. Here's another of my favorite patterns - Victory's Satsuki dress. I'm thinking...

STONEMOUNTAIN and DAUGHTER FABRICS. Sunday, June 15, 2014. Perhaps the most versatile and well-loved pieces of our summer wardrobe is the tank top. We see them everywhere! They are made in every conceivable color and in a wide variety of styles. Historically, the sleeveless shirt had been worn by both men and women, and really started out as an undershirt or an athletic top. We loved Bette Midler's mermaid character tweaking her extended underarm in the air with a "how old of a woman do you think I am?
