Halloween CUSTOM costumes with Fabrique!
Halloween is right around the corner. That means tricks, treats, and fabulous custom made costumes! Whether you find the time to make a costume for this year or next... Custom made costumes can be a sentimental keep sake, a piece of a fun project to be proud of, and an especially cost efficient commercial costume alternative, that is with the entire store being 40% off!

We understand that time may be a factor so we have gathered a few ideas to begin the brainstorming process:


Lamé of all assortments
(the super hero)





4 way stretch, fun fuzzy trim
(catwoman)



Linen, silk dupioni, metallic dupioni,
chiffon, brocade trim, lace trims
(queen cleopatra)








Come in and view the variety of Folkwear patterns for more costume ideas.
These patterns cover a tremendous array of historical eras and cultural genres.
You will not be bored by these!

Happy Halloween!

The Sewing Workshop

If you haven't ever tried out a Sewing Workshop pattern, I would highly recommend it! Every design brings a young, contemporary flare to the table.

They are all UNLINED and include extra sewing tips! For your perfect pant, I recommend the Mimosa pant- it is very figure flattering. For the next two weeks, Fabrique will be hosting a trunk show for the Sewing Workshop. This will allow you to see, feel, try on, twist and turn the garments inside and out to see exactly how it was put together! Any of these gorgeous Sea Island Cotton Diamond Dobby Weave shirtings paired with a Sewing Workshop pattern would be a fabulous mix for your next signature top!

CHANEL JACKETS

We'll start today's blog with a quote from Coco herself- "I am neither in the past, nor avant-arde. My style follows life." To a certain extent, everyone's style reflects the life they are living- and living luxuriously in this current economy is nearly impossible... Until you read this post! Fabrique has all the pieces you need to create your own timeless Chanel jacket- including great prices. This week, we received 2 new tweeds for $17/yd! Vogue has designed the perfect pattern (7975) that happens to flatter every body shape- 40%off! You can also find Chanel buttons, trims and chain here at Fabrique too! Let your classic style shine!!!
