When we opened Creations in 1978, it was the end of the polyester double-knit era.  We opened as a fabric shop with natural fibers.  We carried, wool, silk, cotton, and linen.  We still carry all of those fabrics in our shop.  It was in the early 80’s that quilting surged.  Many of our customers who once stitched garments moved to quilting. Thru our 42 years, we have continued to carry fabrics for garments.  There were lots of years that it was hard to find high quality garment fabric and easy patterns. We now have some great sources for clothing fabrics and patterns that are easy to construct with little fit  —  comfort clothing!

We thought it would be fun to show you some of our favorite garments and some of easiest patterns to stitch.  In the 4th video in our series “If I Can You Can”, we have featured a group of handwoven cotton fabrics, digital linen prints, Bali rayons, and a textured cotton that looks like linen.

This video is to inspire you to sew, not to show you sewing techniques.  There are loads of great videos on techniques, but few on fabric and pattern inspiration.

To check out the fabrics and patterns featured in our video, we have listed the appropriate sections below the video.  You will be able to order fabrics and patterns featured.

We look forward to the time when you can again browse in our shop, but until then  — enjoy our video!!
