WOODLAND CLEARING BY LIESL GIBSON

From Robert Kaufman Fabrics

 

The 27 prints in this new collection from Gibson are all based on her watercolor paintings, as evidenced by the fluid and multicolored nature of each design. Included are flowy and cross-stitch-inspired florals, birds, and structured small prints in pinks and coral, turquoise, ochre, ivory, brown, and grey. Woodland Clearing is available entirely in high-count cotton lawn, making it ideal for apparel sewing. One of the collection’s floral prints (Robert Kaufman AGQL-15848-193 in Summer) is also available as a coated slicker fabric perfect for making raincoats or other waterproof garments.

FINDERS KEEPERS QUILTS BY EDIE MCGINNIS WITH SUSAN KNAPP

From C&T Publishing

Retail: $22.95 (book);
$15.99 (eBook)

 

This new release is, in fact, a pattern book, but one that also tells a special story. Finders Keepers Quilts is based on a collection of quilts discovered in an abandoned Iowa farmhouse by new owner Knapp. Quilter McGinnis worked with Knapp to re-create the early 1900s quilts using reproduction fabric representing the time period in which they were made. In addition to the original and reproduction versions, the book also includes an updated version of each quilt with clear instructions for creating your own.

DOGGIE DAYPACK SEWING KIT

From Clever Charlotte

Retail: $16

 

Part of Clever Charlotte’s new Clever Charley sewing collection, the Doggie Daypack Sewing Kit provides all of the tools needed to create a fun and functional accessory for a favorite pet. Available in small, medium, and large sizes, the Doggie Daypack’s pockets allow Fido to carry items (snacks, “doggie bags,” or even keys or an ID tag) securely while on a walk or hike. The kit includes a paper sewing pattern, instructions, 8” hook and loop tape, 3” twill tape, key clasp, and hand sewing needle.

ROAD TRIP BY DAN DIPAOLO

From Clothworks

 

This upcoming collection (available Spring 2016) offers a rustic take on the road-trip theme with DiPaolo’s interpretation of vintage-inspired roadside signs, cars, and travel imagery. We are particularly fond of the collection’s panel print, which features a clever “Happy Camper” checklist, “Road Trip Bingo” card, and “Best Road Trip Ever” section that could easily be customized to commemorate one’s adventure. And the subtle color palette and weathered design lend warmth and sophistication to the overall feel of the collection.
