Today
we are featuring two Patterns by Amy Butler: Lotus Tuni and Cami
 
Both patterns are easy to make and the simple design will
give the fabric the opportunity to shine.
So, your fabric print will really be the showcase using these patterns
as it is kept very simple. Designer
tunic or halter can be made in an afternoon – a perfect summertime project!
Any of the prints from the Amy Butler Lark Collection would
be great to use for these patterns. The
fabrics in this collection are light weight cotton fabrics so they are easy to
work with and easy to care for. Here is
a link to inspirational pictures from the Amy Butler design studio as it
pertains to this specific collection: http://amybutlerdesign.com/inspiration/lifestyle.php?collection=lark
So many great ideas!

The
fabric collections that have a story to them always inspire me. Right now I am totally inspired by the Far
Far Away III Collection by Heather Ross. Growing up in Germany, fairy tales like
Snow White always bring warm and great memories for me.
Decorating a baby’s nursery with
this fabric collection would be fantastic including quilt, sham, pleated crib
skirt and bumper. There are endless possibilities for what you could make using
this collection of fabrics.
What inspires you? Share with us on our Facebook what fabrics inspire you to create... there are endless possibilities!

Etsuko Furuya is a very well-known
Japanese fabric designer recognized for her blissful work of arts that uses
vibrant colors and animated graphics.
All of her designs look stunning and indeed exceptional. No matter what product you make, using Etsuko
Furuya’s fabric will make it stand out.
Keep the product design simple and the fabric will shine.
Imagine
Fabric chose to carry Etsuko Furuya Fabrics because they are unique and of
highest quality. These fabrics are not
being printed until orders are received – taking about 3 months to get the
fabric once ordered, sometimes even longer.
Prints are available for a short period of time only. So, not only are the prints beautiful and
unique, but the limited availability makes them even more desirable. Customers around the world love these prints.
What
have you made with Etsuko Furuya fabrics? Share photos of your creations on our

Gift boxes are extremely expensive especially during the holiday season so why not make them yourselves and stock up. The holidays will be here sooner than you think.
Supplies Needed:
Prepare the materials that you will need. Fabric, Small
sized box, Double sided tape, a ruler and scissors.
Using a ruler, trace the corners of the fabric to fit the
size of the box that you're using. Then cut off the excess fabric.
Your fabric should look like the the image above, with
the corners cut off.
Put on some double sided tape on the fabric edges. Then
pull the fabric inside of the box and sealed by the tape.
Make sure to pull the fabric tight enough so that the
finish will be clean.
Flip over the box to see the finished look. Do the same
steps for the bottom part of your box.

1 Selvage:
The narrow finished lengthwise edges of a fabric cut is called selvage.
The selvage is usually ¼ to ½ inches wide and it is mostly woven tighter and
the rest of the fabric which prevents the fabric from tearing when it is
finished at the mill. Since the selvage is constructed differently than
the rest of them fabric, they may shrink differently than the rest of the
fabric when washed. Most people don’t utilize the selvage but if they do,
they need to take that into consideration. Designer fabrics selvages
usually feature the name of the fabric designer, fabric collection as well as
the name of the fabric manufacturer.

Here at Imagine Fabric, we always want to
establish a relationship that doesn’t end as soon as you place your order
online and ship your products. We want to develop an intimate rapport with
passionately inspired customers like you by providing highest standard customer
service as well as customer-oriented activities.
Imagine Fabric started 5 years ago
with my own search for fabrics I loved and inspired me to create. Unique and beautiful
designer fabrics were and still are difficult to find locally. To get my hands on the fabrics I like, I
started to call the manufacturers directly and that is how Imagine Fabric
started. I figure if I have difficulties
finding “boutique-like” designer fabrics, other end consumers probably have the
same problem so I wanted to fill that need.
We want to continue to offer the most on-trend manufacturers, designers
and fabric designs.
We don’t want to be the retailer
that carries all lines and all collections.
We want to be known as the “boutique-like” fabric retailers where you
can find only the most beautiful and unique fabric designs, and always know
that you get the best quality textiles with Imagine Fabric.
We continuously get compliments from
customers on how much they like our fabric selection and choices. Compared to other retailers we have a small
selection, however, we try to choose only the collections that we think our
customers would appreciate the most.
Getting this feedback tells us that we are on-trend with our fabric
choices and what it meets the demand in the market.
My favorite part is seeing all the
beautiful creations that customers make using the fabric they purchased from
Imagine Fabric. I love to see how a fabric inspired them to create something
they love. With the inspiration of the beautiful fabrics Imagine Fabric offers,
there are endless possibilities of what you can imagine to make.

Supplies Needed:
1 Fat Quarter (or fabric scraps you may have at home)
Needle
Sewing Thread
Prepare 2 pieces of fabric with the following dimensions:
6 x 3.5 inches
2.5 x 1.5 inches
Take the larger piece of fabric measuring 6 x 3.5 inches and fold vertically towards
the center. Then fold horizontally towards the
center.
Stitch the center of the folded fabric, then pull the
thread to gather the fabric in the center, making the basic
shape of the bow.
Take the smaller piece of fabric measuring 2.5 x 1.5 inches and fold it horizontally towards the center. Then wrap it around the middle of the bow to hide the stitch you made earlier. Then stitch the small fabric in place making sure that the stitch won't show on the other side.
Voila, you are done. Idea tip: Glue the bow to a hair pin and make your little girl really happy.
