I am a planner and I love to plan my time and my projects, and so knowing when a certain fabric group is coming, I can be on the lookout for a special pattern to use with that group. Then I can pencil it into my calendar, knowing that I want to sew with that new fabric as soon as possible. Here is a partial list of what's coming to the shop!
