Fabric Sneak Peek: Stitch

So...the Fed Ex man brought some fabric today. Not just ANY fabric, but MY fabric! I'm so excited about it, I thought I'd share a little sneaker peeker! (I'm not at liberty to show it all just yet...)

I will tell you though that my debut collection is called Stitch and it is inspired by all types of stitchers and the beautiful handiwork created by them.

Bold and colorful graphic motifs taken from embroidery, crochet, knitting and sewing come together in this coordinated line printed on organic cotton by Robert Kaufman.

My little name on the selvedge. Crazy exciting, isn't it? Stitch will be available in stores this fall. Stayed tuned for more information and a full reveal next month! In the meantime, I can't wait to get sewing with it. (more backstory here!)
