| ANCIENT METHODS AND MODERN LOOKS |
This week we're featuring cotton dobby weave fabrics from Japan. Louise and I have sewn many garments from this pretty fabric, and we both love it. It's all cotton, so it breathes and is comfortable. We know that natural fibers are important to many of you too.
It's an interesting combination of old and new. The weave is called a dobby. It requires a device attached to the loom which allows warp threads (the ones that run lengthwise in the fabric) to be manipulated in groups. Maybe you remember those potholders we all made as children where we wove one loop over another loop, then under the next one. That's the most basic weave. But a dobby weave allows a weft (crosswise) thread to go over or under groups of warp threads, creating surface texture.
Then the weft (crosswise) threads are inserted in groups as well, creating texture in the other direction. So even simple designs have added interest.
But the dobby fabrics we offer have yet another dimension, featuring traditional motifs in updated designs and colorways. They're the best of old and new. Plus, they hardly wrinkle, and even after washing, they only need touching up. No wonder we love them!
Let's take a look at these beauties. All but three (brand new dobby prints) of these have been marked down--the reductions range from 20% to 50%.
These prices will remain in effect until 8 p.m. Eastern, Monday, November 2.
 
 
 
These colors are wonderful for the fall/winter/early spring seasons.

FACEBOOK FORUM
So many of you have joined us for fun and learning on the Facebook Forum. However, many of you who have said you want to join have not answered the 3 sewing-related questions. We'd love to have each of you be able to get in, but that can't happen if you haven't answered the questions. Please be sure to answer, because we'd like to know each of you.
SAMPLES
Please confine your sample requests to 3 per order. That allows us to give you the same prompt service you are used to. Also, remember that if you ask for a sample of a fabric that's on sale, the sale may be over before the sample gets to you through the mail.
A REMINDER
If you are searching for a specific fabric on the website and you know the number of it, be sure to put a 5-digit number in the search box. Examples: 00532 or 01379. You don't need to include the letters (FF) with the numbers.
SHIPPING
We want to assure you that we fill all your orders and ship them within 24 hours of the time we receive them. It seems that there are some delays with mail service at this time, both within the country and to other countries, so it may take a bit longer than usual for your orders to reach you. However, we are doing our part to send them promptly.
 By the way, we've heard that a few of you have thought that you had to have a PayPal account to order from us online. That's not the case. Even though you'll see "Proceed to PayPal" on one of the order pages, just click on it to go to the next page. You'll see that you can choose whatever credit card you would like to use.
