Don't Fear the Fabric--with Dana and Kate

It's been a while since I did a fun series here on the blog.And when I held that survey a while back (thank you for taking it!  It was very helpful!)....many of you mentioned that a series is something you'd love to see more often.

So let's do it!

We're calling it Don't Fear the FABRIC.
And I'm hosting it with Kate from See Kate Sew!  

We hope this is an ongoing series throughout the year, focusing on various fabrics that you may (or may not) be scared to try.  Because fabric should never be feared!--which is the whole premise of my book Fabrics A to Z.  So let's arm you with the info and tips you need to get out of the cotton rut....and jump into the world of interesting textiles!  

This round we're focusing on Oilcloth and Leather. 
Cause, well....oilcloth and leather!  Who doesn't love the look of those fabrics?!  I'm always amazed at how a mix of textures in a project really pops it to life.

 Kate will share expert tips for sewing with leather, where to buy it, and what to make with it.

Then I'll tackle Oilcloth with a bunch of projects for sewers and NON sewers. 
Looking for handmade Christmas gift ideas??
You've come to the right place!

The series will be happening on both our blogs from 12/3 to 12/12.
It's just me and Kate, no guests, and 8 days of fabric fun (and some freebies of course!)
So enjoy your Thanksgiving meal and come back ready to sew!
