When I was in LA recently I picked up some fantastic new fabrics for the Cashmerette store. I find that nice printed jerseys are generally the hardest to find, so that’s what I went on the hunt for – and luckily I managed to find quite a few! These jerseys are great for the Appleton Dress, and the stripes would make an awesome Concord T-Shirt – they’re available as kits with or without a pattern, and some of them are also available by the yard
Let’s kick it off with this stonking large-scale abstract painterly jersey

The last new Appleton kit is this totally classic blue and pink floral jersey. I’ve already made myself a short-sleeve Appleton from it and I can already tell it’s going to be a workhorse of my summer wardrobe.

So, what do you think? Do any of these tickle your fancy? And are there any other types of fabrics you’d like to see in the store?
New Jersey in da house!! Oh. Wait. That’s not what you meant, is it? 😉
I love how you have such lovely prints and stripes–especially how the Curvy Sewing Collective just posted about the myths of plus-size dressing, and stripes and prints were included ! You wouldn’t have been collaborating, would you ? 😉
