Another Cardigan anyone?

Here's another cardigan to enjoy:


This is pure luxury from White & Warren.  This is a the Cheetah Print Cashmere Cardigan.  It is a neutral that is a little bit on the wild side.  Price tag:  $298.00.

I can not help with finding the cashmere but I think you can get a similar look using:


This is Cool Cardigan - Banded Front pattern by Pamela's Patterns.  You get to choose the sleeve length.  By the fabric.com has some leopard print knits available.

Inspiration..

Fall is almost upon us.  Is your wardrobe really?  I wish I could say that mine was but it's not. 

Here's today's inspiration.  It's an outfit from Magaschoni:



This is the Draped Cardigan and Flannel Pants.  The colors are perfect for fall and really it is the color combination that drew me to this outfit.  The colors are port (maroon) and dark charcoal gray.  The Draped Cardigan is wonderful and is made from rayon/wool knit.  Perfect for jeans/pants to skirts.  Price tag: $236.00.  The Flannel Pants are made from a wool blend and features a wide straight that falls from the hip.  Price tag:  $292.00.

You can get a similar look by using the Cool Cardigans Draped Front pattern by Pamela's Patterns with a matching matching tank or tee (also available from Pamela's Patterns) and the Oxford Pant pattern by Loes Hinse Design.

Are you ready for Fall decorating?

Fall is one of my favorite times of year.  I love to decorate. With that in mind, I have created a new kit for the fall table.  The kit includes enough materials for 4 placemats and 8 napkins in gorgeous fall colors.  Instructions are included.  Here's pictures of the included fabrics: 

This fabric is for the placemats.  The fabric on the left is the focus fabric with the fabric on the right being the backing and the binding.  They look wonderful together.


This fabric is for the semi-circle napkins.  The fabric on the right is an orange color and the fabric on the right is a golden yellow.  These fabrics will look wonderful folded together.

Here's the link to the Fall Placemats & Napkins kit.  Hope you like it.  Remember if you would like a different fabric substituted, just ask.  If it's the same collection, there would not be any additional charge.  If the substituted fabric is from a different collection, the kit price could change.

While you're looking around, check out the remaining kits.  There are many to choose from - hand embroidery, quilts, bags, etc.  Have fun looking!

Happy Stitching!
