WHAT CAN SPRING PRINT FABRIC DO FOR YOU?


Spring print fabric can light up your life...hypothetically speaking! For all you neutral wardrobe lovers, adding a little floral print here or animal print there can make your neutral look stand out!


Adding floral or any print as a key piece (shown in the picture below) is an ideal option for work. This look can easily be taken into evening by ditching that blazer, sprucing up your make-up!



We also love print fabric as a whole garment. You can not help but to feel like a lady when you are wearing a light, airy, and bright printed dress!

Last but not least, we love printed fabric because it can hide any problem areas you might have.







Here are a few new prints @ Fabrique!

BOUNCE INTO SPRING WITH VOGUE'S NEW VERY EASY SEWING PATTERNS!



As you may or may have not heard, Fabrique now carries the New Vogue pattern catalog. As always, there are a variety of patterns that range from very easy to "super sewer" status!

We always love to encourage sewing by picking up a pattern and jumping right in. Of course, Fabrique classes can help you increase skill level and teach useful and many times unknown sewing techniques. But first, the decision to "do" must be made. We have found that the very easy sewing patterns by Vogue can be just that...VERY EASY! So, don't be intimidated to just buy a pattern and try it.

Start by trying the very easy patterns and working your way up to the more complicated ones. The employees at Fabrique are always available to help out with any questions you might have about your pattern or sewing needs.
We also offer classes to help you with your every sewing endeavor. Our classes include beginner to intermediate courses and tips, tricks, and how to's for every sewer.
