In this Friday Sews episode, I’m sharing a big ol’ fabric and pattern haul from my Santa Cruz trip—because you know I can’t pass up a good shop when I’m out and about. I’m chatting through what I picked up, where I found it, and why each piece made it into my bag. If you love thrift flips, boho makes, and turning “just okay” finds into something cozy and wearable, this one’s right up your alley. I also point you to a few of my favorite stops—like The Wildhare Haberdashery and Harts Fabrics—and I’m sprinkling in that real-life sewist talk we all need: what I’m excited to sew next, what kinds of projects these fabrics and patterns are best for, and how I’m thinking about using them in an upcycled, mix-and-match way. Plus, I’ve got this week’s giveaway details (U.S. and Canada only), including how to enter, the deadline, and when I’ll draw the winner on my next recorded Friday video.
