LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD...

By using light weight notions! We carry several hard to find notions that can come in very handy when working on your project this fall.
Black and white fusible "feather weight" interfacing would be great for your tropical weight wools and semi-sheer fabrics. Use this interfacing as you would use french fuse because it has a little stretch.
Light weight elastic is very sheer and is ok against the skin. This would be great for gathering, waistbands or even headbands!
Japanese "extra fine" fusible stay tape is virtually invisible. It would be an excellent stabilizer for light weight knits or even lingerie.
Japanese hand sewing needles are so fine they will slide through fabric like butter!
We also carry serger cones that have 6000 yards of thread wound on each cone! The thread is a finer denier than the Mettler Metrosene. This will allow the seam allowance to be made with less bulk.
Organic cotton voile and cotton mousseline are very light weight and soft. These would be great underlinings or perfect for heirloom sewing projects.

By taking out bulk during construction, you will find  yourself more pleased with the end result. Bulky seams and the wrong type of interfacing is a sure sign of the "loving hands at home" look! Come in and see these items for yourself- you will be amazed!
