New sponsor: All kinds of fabrics and goodies at great prices!
Let's welcome a new sponsor! All kinds of fabrics, trims, and notions at Sew What's New Fabrics. Here's a little bit about them...
We are a long running family business started by Bebe the Patron Saint of Fabric Junkies. She loved fabric and loved to collect the finest fabrics made. Basically the store is her fabric stash, the biggest stash anyone has ever seen. We are located in an old bowling alley! We have fabrics from when she started to collect in the 40's all the way up to the 90's.
Our favorite fabrics are the fabrics on the dark side, the funky or weird fabrics, and those are the ones we sell the most. We have fabrics that retail for $29.99 other places that we sell for under $10, gorgeous upholstery fabrics that are $125 retail we have for $14. We have out of print Waverly, P. Kaufman, Ralph Lauren, Kravet and so much more. We carry upholstery and dressmaking fabrics (with a huge supply of rayon fabrics because I am little obsessed with them.) We are also starting to get into newer fabrics like felt just to keep it fresh.
I always tell online customers that what we have online is nowhere near what we have in store so please ask us...and don't get us started on the buttons. Bebe bought a button store in the late 1960's and we are still trying to organize! I'm Lily and Manny does the heavy lifting. Well we both do heavy lifting but he looks better doing it. :)
What a fun story! And can you imagine wandering around that bowling alley shopping for fabrics... so many choices! (If you live nearby, you could even stop by their Nyack, NY store!).

Oooo, the Mysterious Black with Purple Roses Sheer Silk Chiffon is gorgeous! I'm not sure what I would do with it but it's so beautiful! I also love the Stunning Geometric Rose Print Polyester/Lycra Knit Fabric and the Large Vintage Heart Buttons. Lots of great stuff to look at!
ReplyDeleteI really like the little pink elephant fabric that you show. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteOk, I need the sequins! And the black and white gingham will work, too! :)

Oooh, the blue/black geometric roses under the dressmaking fabrics is really quite nice!
ReplyDeleteI love this striped cotton knit, it is so cute. http://www.etsy.com/listing/73146397/navy-blue-and-white-striped-cotton-knit
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage black and white check suiting!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Love so much of their Etsy store but they don't ship outside the US :(
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage hot pink zebra print rayon/poly blend! So fabulously 80's!
ReplyDeleteWow, they have so many gorgeous fabrics! I thought it would be impossible to choose just one thing until I got to their last page and I saw the Vintage Blood Red Taffeta Fabric. It's just stunning, and I can already think of at least 3 dresses it could be.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to choose! I think I'm leaning toward the Mod Black, White, Royal Blue and Aqua Print Polyester Jersey Knit Fabric, because I've been in a sewing knits mood lately. But I love the silky chiffons they have too! I am following both you and the store on Twitter and FB as well!

Their buttons are fabulous! I fell in love with the beautiful Scrollwork belt buckle. But my favorite thing they have by far is the Vintage Black Polka Dot Sheer Organza!!!! EXQUISITE!
ReplyDeleteWow... you should NOT have shown me this! Pay cheque = blown now ;-P I'm really lusting after that gorgeous teal wool...
ReplyDeleteOh, and I just followed you on Twitter, too :)
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh - the trimmings, all the trimmings. They are lovely - especially the lace!!!! Also, the category of "scariest fabrics" cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose! The garden print rayon fabric looks perfect for a pattern I just got! :D
ReplyDeleteAlso I follow you on Twitter :D So happy you showed us this store!
ReplyDeleteI love the gingham!! I like you on facebook as well :)

ReplyDeleteWow. What a gorgeous shop. I love the pink and cream floral cotton. It would be such a great blouse. I'm totally shopping Rene when I pare down my own stash a little!
ReplyDeleteI adore the orange bird print at the bottom of this post! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I am also drooling over that stretch sequin material. My roommate has been trying to get me to make her a sequin dress for ages, and that just might be the stuff to get the job done!
ReplyDeleteooo, I love sequins, I don't like glitter or rinestones on fabric but with sequins it's a whole different story. So the beaded art deco appliques are right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! the vintage buttons with the lady in a hat are to die for! I can already image them on a handknit sweater!
ReplyDeleteSuch a tough task, but I think my favorite thing in the shop would be the Yellow, Green & Pink Candy Stripe Crisp for a chair the husband and I are upholstering. It's perfect for a child's room! So many great options! Thanks for the giveaway and for introducing me to such a cute shop. :) mfrapp_83 (at) yahoo (dot) com

ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose, definitely at this hour... i'd probably go for the sheer white chiffon with polkadots and use it as an overlay on a pretty gathered skirt!
