Time for a giveaway! We want to keep your hands busy, and up your cozy factor with 2 skeins of Madelinetosh DK. Let's chase those January blues away! Head over to Instagram to enter!

Who's supervising virtual school today? If you're like us - and like to keep your hands busy - embroidery is the perfect craft for when you can't pull out a sewing machine set up. We also want to give a thumbs up to all the teachers doing their best to keep kids learning, moving and engaged during this time! . . . #embroiderysampler #knitsweater #kirikipress #sewfinethreadgloss #kylieandthemachine #teachersrule #teachersarethebest #handstitching #handsandneedles #embroidery #stitchersofIG #handembroidery #backtoschool #virtualschool #Ottawa #stayhomeandsew

We are loving these autumn-hued skeins by Life in the Long Grass. (It's still fall, right?) Such perfectly coordinated colourways would make a beautiful 3 skein shawl. Our pick is the Ashbrook by @tamygore (who has a talent for designing multi-skein shawls!) #litlgyarns #litlg #quiltedjersey #itsstillfall #tamygoredesigns

Who here sews their own underwear? Have you ever used picot elastic before? The soft elastic and pretty lace trim are a great way to finish underwear and bras. Pair them with these organic cotton jersey rainbows for a fun pair!

Taking a little time today to reflect on our #TopNine2020. Who knew dinosaurs knitting could be so popular? . . . #topnine #knitting #dinosaurs #hahafunny #bethemaker #timetoreflect #goodbye2020 #hello2021 #bestfootforward #makersgonnamake #quilting #ApparelFabric #handsandneedles

What's on your reading list? Any sewing related books? We love Pretty Punch Needle - perfect if you're looking to dip your toes into a new hobby, with beginner friendly patterns and a guide to choosing the right punch needle supplies. #punchneedle #NewAtFabrications #sewingbook #beginnerfriendly #mondayreads #craftythings #crafthobby

These lovely embroidery kits from @cozyblue come with everything you need to start a project. They make lovely gifts, or stitch them up and gift the completed project (we like sewing them into little project bags). What do you do with your completed embroidery and cross stitch projects? #cozybluestitchclub #holidayembroidery #HanukkahCraft ##embroiderykit #embroiderygift #indiecrafts #indiecraftstore

Our next fabric is Organic Italian Cotton Jersey. The only difference between this and the Organic Cotton Jersey is that it's made in Italy, so don't hesitate to bust out the marinara and Chianti when sewing up these dinos (though maybe not right next to the machine because stains). #newatfabrications #cottonjersey #euroknits #dinosaurfabric #sewingwithknits

Today we have Organic Cotton Jersey (what is commonly referred to at CL on the 'net). This blend of cotton and Spandex makes this fabric ideal for t-shirts and dresses. At 200 GSM, it has good drape while holding more structure than a rayon jersey.

Next up is Soft Sweat! This lovely fabric is also OEKO-TEX, as well as GOTS certified. It has a brushed exterior and plush interior, making it the ideal fabric for lounge wear. Remember, sign up for the newsletter for the full reveal tomorrow! #softsweat #sewcomfy #newatfabrications #sewcozy #sewingwithknits

We have the most ah-maz-ing knit collection releasing this Saturday, October 3rd at 9:00 am EST. There are 5 different kinds of knits, and over 60 prints to choose from. On social media we'll be profiling one kind each day this week. First up - French Terry. This Cotton/Spandex blend is OEKO-TEX certified, has 20-30% stretch across the grain, and is a nice mid-weight fabric, making it perfect for pants, sweaters and dresses. There are a variety of fun prints, suitable for both children and adults. We'd definitely say this fabric is out-of-this-world!

Today we're answering your questions about shopping appointments! #fabricationsnews #canadianfabricstore #ottawafabricstore

This past summer, everyone chic sported some version of this romantic, floaty dress. While your only runway appearance might be from the bedroom to the kitchen, you can glide in style through your #isewlation. And what's better than double gauze? Double-faced double gauze! We're picturing all sorts of interesting details done up in this fabric. Grab your copy of @fridaypatterncompany's Wilder Gown - available up to a size 4X.

Mohair + Malabrigo? When the name rolls off your tongue, it just has to be good!

Ever look at a fabric and see something that no one else does? While this cotton shirting is "meant" for blouses and dresses, we think it would make a totally fab handbag. What do you think?

While we're all for seasonal fabric, there's something great about prints that will last beyond a single occasion. These @dearstellafab "December to Remember" prints are winter-y without being Christmas specific, which means that you can use your table runner (or winter-themed mask) beyond just a single event.

If you signed up for the @tulapink BOM then you've gotten the newsletter about these mini quilt projects to prepare for the quilt-a-long. For the rest of us, these mini projects will help hone your quilting skills on small-sized projects (pillow, table runner, etc), making them a manageable (and giftable!) project to sandwhich into your sewing list. The best part, these smaller projects are great scrap busters!

Mohair+yarn is on our trend radar, and with 50 different shades of mohair to choose from, we think you'll find the right match for any project. We love the #SeptemberHat by @cdickdesigns (it's free!) Or the #bestberet by @jamesnwatts. The @madelinetosh OOAK DK Fade Kits & OOAK Merino Light Fade Kits will go live for sale on the website on Saturday 19th at 9 am EST. There are only 6 of each kind, so be sure to set your alarms.

We are big fans of #mnjarrah. It's such an easy-wearing sweater with so many options and interesting finishes. It is available in print up to size 20 (14-30 in PDF format directly from Megan Nielsen). We think this uber-soft bamboo/cotton fleece would make a super cozy one - we even have matching ribbing for the cuffs!

Teals and pinks may not be traditional fall colours, but they are popping up all over the fashion world this year, and we love a bright punch to infuse life into our makes. The luxurious Arranmore Light yarn is a blend of Merino wool, cashmere, and silk, and would be perfect for a lightweight shawl, cowl, hat or sweater.

If flannel is the offical fabric of fall, then sweaters are the official garment! Cozy up in this new sweater knit. Looking for more pattern inspiration? Our newsletter this week will talk all about our favourite sweater patterns. Sign up on the website!
