Pattern Supplies and Resources

Pattern Resources and Supplies - In Color Order
I wanted to create a spot for sharing resources and supplies that are needed for my patterns and tutorials. You'll find sources for notions and fabrics, plus links to relevant tutorials. I'll keep this updated with current patterns and information.

  3. Thanks for the twill tape info--just made my first drawstring pouch from your pattern and I had a cute grosgrain ribbon for the pulls, but I do really like the look of the tape that you use on yours, very clean and modern. I loved the pattern, by the way. I see many more in my future!!
