Spool of Thread

We have always loved carrying and working with Colette Patterns, and we are so excited to have their 3 brand new pattern releases in stock today! (Plus, a restock on any sold out patterns like the Negroni if you’re thinking ahead to Father’s Day. We carry the entire Colette Pattern line, cool, hey?

This quick and easy dress combines a flattering V-seamed bodice with side panels cut on the bias, letting you play with patterns such as stripes and plaids. The simple dirndl style skirt has in-seam pockets. Version 2 gives cutting layouts for using border print fabrics.

These simple and cute shorts are so quick to sew, you could make them in every color. Pockets are set into a front side seam and optionally close with buttons. The shorts sport a 4 1/2 inch inseam length and close with an invisible side zipper. Pictured here with the Colette Violet blouse.

Princess seam sundress with a curve skimming fit. The neckline and pockets are adorned with a flap detail that can be made in self fabric (version 1) or contrasting fabric (version 2). The skirt is slightly tapered for a slim fit, and includes a back kickpleat for ease of movement. The back closes with an invisible zipper.

We really love the Hazel. Which one is your favorite?

We’re super excited to be back at the upcoming Got Craft with our always-fun DIY (do-it-yourself) table.

If you haven’t visited one of our DIY tables before, here’s how it works; we gather the supplies and put together instructions for you to make something, like this year’s pin. You visit us at Got Craft (we’re always up on the stage) and bring your creativity. You’ll be welcomed to hang out with us and make your pin. Best part, once you pay the admission at the door, visiting the Spool of Thread area is free!

Our bright + cheery May Flower Pin has been warming my heart ever since I sewed it. This spring feels like it has been full of rain, and at the shop we’ve been telling ourselves, “April showers bring May flowers”. What could be a finer way than welcoming the upcoming sunshine than a bright, sunny, handmade flower. Pin it to your jacket or bag, make a hair pin or give it to your Mom for Mother’s Day. Either way, our May flower pin is certain to brighten your day.

In addition to making your pin, we will also have a selection of fat quarters, new books and patterns on hand at the craft show for you to check out.
