| ART, NATURE, AND WHIMSY FROM JAPAN |
Travel in spirit to a land of beautiful mountains, seas, cherry blossoms, pagodas, and long-standing textile traditions.
Japan's centuries-old skills in pleating, resist, and stitched shibori patterns, as well as painting and silk screens, have been known around the world.
Now we have in stock an array of cottons and linens from Japan that are modern versions of the Japanese aesthetic--and sense of humor.
These garments display Japanese fabrics we've stocked in the past. They provide inspiration for what you can do with the fabrics we have now, so take a look, then decide which fabrics you'll use to create something memorable.
You might like to make something like this. To make it easier, we'll put these patterns on sale until 8 p.m. Eastern on Monday, December 7.
 
 
 
Now, here's a variety of fabrics from Japan--for you!
This group is composed of soft, smooth shirtweight cottons. You can see the brushstrokes on these first two fabrics.
 
Abstract shapes interspersed with leaves from nature. And crossing over everything are tiny lines echoing the stitching of the famous Living Treasure of Japan whose quilts inspired these prints.
 
The same print in 2 colorways. The shirt above was made from the print with the off-white background.
 
Another pair in 2 colorways.
 
And a pop of bright color--
These two playful cottons are slightly heavier. You can still make shirts, but also vests, tops, and shells.
 
These linen/cotton blends are fun--
 
These are lighter-weight linens in special prints, some taken from the paintings of a Japanese artist, and are wonderful for shirts, tops, shells, and unstructured vests.
 
 
And some cottons with a bit more body, suitable for lightweight jackets--

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.
