Fabrics for Sale  

We use various kinds of fabric for our dresses and purchase only high quality fabrics.  Below you will find an explanation of our different fabrics and their respective weights.  Please use the "contact us" tab on the left bar to send us an e-mail if you have further questions.

  • Tropical Breeze:  A 65%/35% poly-cotton blend created exclusively for making clothing.  It is great for those who don't like to iron and have active girls who play hard.  Ladies will also appreciate the small florals and solids.  Tropical Breeze is a lightweight but very strong fabric at about 3 ounce per square yard.

  • Cotton Prints and solids: Our largest collection is made up of quilt store quality 100% cotton prints.  Cotton prints are a medium weight at about 4 ounce per square yard. 

  • Cotton Twill:  Our 100% cotton twills are a little heavier than the cotton prints at 5-6 ounce per square yard. 

  • Cotton Pique: A soft fabric which feels a bit like a knit and drapes beautifully.  It has a raised woven design and is a nice change from other cottons.  4 ounce per square yard.

  • Poplin: 65%/35% poly-cotton blend from Robert Kaufman.  A very nice quality broadcloth for clothing.  Ironing is generally not necessary.

  • Corduroy: 21 wale lightweight cotton corduroy in a perfect weight for apparel at 4.5 ounce per square yard.

  • Denim and Chambray: 6.5 ounce lightweight denim; a great weight for dresses and skirts.  Our Chambray is 4.5 ounces and perfect for a lighter denim look.

  • Flannel: 100% cotton, warm flannel.  Most are about 5 ounce per yard.

  • Linen Blends: We carry two blends.  Please see description above linen section. 

  • Batiste: Lightweight 3 ounce fabric for underclothing, nightgowns, dressy pinafores etc.

For our more expensive fabrics, there is a surcharge of $1 per garment for baby/toddlers, $2 for girls, $3 for women and $4 for plus sizes.  Please note the two asterisks (**) by the fabric number to add the appropriate amount as you purchase garments.  To purchase any of our fabrics, please send us an e-mail with fabric numbers and desired yardage.

Some fabrics are difficult to photograph.  We have done our best to represent color and size to you, but if a fabric looks fuzzy, know that it is a fault with the picture, not the fabric.  Also, computer monitors do represent colors differently.  If you are unsure about a fabric, please send for fabric swatches or ask us for advice to coordinate fabrics.  To request fabric swatches, please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope.  Please limit your request to 4 swatches unless you know you are going to be purchasing more than 4 garments.

Linen Blends

Below you will find linen blends perfect for ladies dresses, jumpers, blouses and skirts.  We are trying two different blends.  The first is a 55% Linen, 45% Rayon blend which drapes beautifully.  The second is a 55% Linen, 45% Cotton blend for those who prefer the natural feel of cotton and linen.  Both are a bit heavier than our regular cottons at about 6 oz per square yard and are high quality products by Robert Kaufman.  The manufacturer recommends washing these in cold water on delicate cycle and hanging to dry.  If washed in warm/hot water and put in the dryer, they will shrink a little.  You may also dry clean these fabrics.
