 So heartwarming to see masks over at Barefaced Notions featuring fabrics printed right here in our shop! |
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! In case anyone missed our Newsletter update last week, or if you are new here (welcome!), we wanted to re-post some helpful information on making masks, as we've been getting a lot of emails from amazing people all over the world that want to help. In times of uncertainty it's natural to feel helpless, but as makers we are uniquely poised to help. See below for some great mask tutorials. Finally, our shop is up and running and you can still rely on our speedy service with orders typically shipping within 24 hours. Since we are not open to the public and operate as a "warehouse/distribution and fulfillment" place of business, as well as a manufacturer, it seems we are exempt from closing our doors. Our small staff is taking great care to adjust by working in shifts, practicing social distancing, and following other guidelines in order to preserve our health and keep your fabric stash full and your hands busy. We hope our newsletter continues to be a bright spot in your day and a source for creative inspiration. ** |
 Lots of high and low volume options! |
For her newest collection, Annie Montgomery found inspiration in memories of family walks through London's Regent's Park with her toddler in tow. From trips to the playground and zoo, to walks along the canal and "many a picnic to soak in the warmth of summer," the park invites you to cherish the slower moments in life. We hope you'll enjoy a jaunt through the park - don't forget to stop and smell Queen Mary's roses! Like all our In House printed lines, the collection is available in various widths on Poplin, Quilting Cotton, Linen Cotton Canvas, Cotton Sateen, Rayon, Jersey and Interlock Knit and our new medium weight Cotton Sateen - bundles available too! |

With our speedy shipping, there's still plenty of time to sew for Easter! Ashley Cowan whipped up this dress for her daughter that's as comfortable as is it pretty. She chose Teresa Chan's new Bunny Garden fabric printed right here in our shop on our Jersey Knit option. It's a fun mash up of two Violette Field Threads patterns, th Kensley bodice and the new Bianca Skirt, which is releasing tomorrow 4/4, so check back tomorrow on this new arrivals page! Ashley added a ruffled hem for added skirt length and we think it plays up the whimsy of the fabric design just beautifully! |

Join us in the #millionmaskchallenge and put your skills to work in this worldwide crisis. As a community, we can aid the many selfless doctors, nurses, and other health care providers in their fight against Covid-19. We have donated fabric to Unshattered, a local non-profit organization that has mobilized their efforts from making bags to making masks for a local hospital here in New York. If you'd like to help, we've rounded up some mask tutorials below. If you haven't already found an outlet to donate to, we recommend contacting your local hospital for their needs, or follow Million Masks Challenge on Instagram as they post places accepting donations. |
We realize that these are not meant to replace N95 medical masks, but we understand that homemade masks can be worn over official masks in order to prolong the life of a mask. Moreover, handmade masks can replace a regular surgical mask when possible to ensure that as many official medical masks go to the doctors that need them most. Many sewers have shared tutorials and guidance on how to make the masks and here are just a few to get you started. |

Sweet Red Poppy has amazingly put together three tutorials for three different types of masks; those with bias tape, those with elastic, and those that are fitted. Made Everyday even has a tutorial for making masks with knit fabric for the ties. If you are deciding which type to make, it might be best to reach out to your local hospital, or wherever you may be donating your masks, to see which type they prefer, or if they have any other specifications to follow. |
