Inspiration - Table Linens

Do you like to decorate your table? Here's a little bit inspiration for both the sewer and the knitter -

Here is a lovely Heirloom Table Runners. This patchwork table runner is made with silk, rayon, polyester, cotton, and viscose fabric. It is finished with cording and tassels. Dry clean only. Price tag varies based on size: $370.00 to $495.00. How many table runners could you make for those prices?





Here's an interesting place mat & napkin set - the Grosgrain Place Mats & Silk Napkins by Ann Gish. The place mats are hand-knit satin ribbon. They are 19" x 14" and machine washable. The napkins are 22" square and also machine washable. Price tags: 4 place mats - $380.00, 4 napkins - $160. 00.

Inspiration - Track Suit and Shop Talk

Today's inspiration is once again for children. However, this look could easily translate into adult clothing too.

Here's a little Juicy Couture Tracksuit. Isn't it cute? The hoodie has a little bit of embroidery on it along with the kangaroo pockets. It is made from a cotton/polyester terry. The pants have a draw string waistband and are also made from a cotton/polyester terry. Price tag: Hoodie - $78.00 to $82.00, Pants - $64.00 to $68.00 (pricing is dependent on size selected).

I think this would be very easy to duplicate. For the pants, you could try the 2-Piece Yoga Pant pattern by Silhouettes. There is also an adult version. I don't have a pattern exactly like the hoodie pictured but Hoodie & Top pattern by Silhouettes is similar. There is an adult version of this top, also. Both would need a slight modification to put a center zipper in but that would be very easy to do. Just remember to add the seam allowances. If anyone knows of a tutorial on how to turn a top pattern into a jacket, let me know where it is and I will add the link.

I have updated the Amy Butler section in the store. Many items have been restocked and there are new patterns available as well. I think I have all the current patterns and a few of the OOP patterns as well. Here's the direct link to Amy Butler Designs aka "Midwest Modern".
