Where's your spot? On a mountain, at a beach, at a park, down the street, around the block, in your neighbor's pool, on your own porch? No matter where you want to relax, bring some color and pattern with you.
Make a shirt, a pair of pants, or both from Easy Ageless Cool--like these.
In the first photo, notice the model's hand in her pocket. Also, the casual fit and style. In the second photo, you can see the button fastening the top of the pocket. It's so simple--the upper side panel slides down under the lower side panel and taaa-daaa, you have a pocket. So great for summer relaxing.
 
The shirt is equally at home in your get-away spot. It's also a casual fit, with turn-back lapels, an open collar, and short sleeves. You can add vertical darts to bring it in if you want--they're in the pattern. Look at these pretty shirts--
 
Easy Ageless Cool is specially priced for this week--till 8 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, August 1. Make at least one and be cool this summer.
 
Speaking of shirts, at last I have gotten caught up on the construction of my At Every Angle example. It's been so long that you might have forgotten that I'm doing a FREE sew-along on the Stitch to Style blog. Head over there for the latest installment featuring info on interfacing, pinning, and other good stuff.
And now, let's look at pretty fabric! We've chosen these especially for this pattern and for summer's relaxed vibe. Then we've put them ON SALE for this week, so take advantage until 8 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, August 1.
First, cottons for beautiful shirts--
 
 
For really light, cool shirts, there's nothing like handkerchief linen--
 
Linen/rayon blends have a lovely drape and less wrinkling, so they work for shirts, shells, tops, and flared skirts.
 
 
 
Those pretty blue and green pants above were made from cotton sateen. They have a bit of stretch for comfort and the lycra helps minimize wrinkles.

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 quickly. 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 "Check out with 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.
