Our Weekly Newsletter

Thanks again for reading along with us, and continuing to welcome Hawthorne Threads as a source for inspiration and tools for the trade. Today we are going to cut straight to some very exciting news - we are now offering OUR ENTIRE RANGE of In House prints on a 95/5% Cotton/Spandex Jersey Knit - ORGANIC TOO! That means each and every one of our Hawthorne designed collections as well as those collections from Indy Bloom, Bec Williams, MontgomeryFest, Margaret Jeane and Hudson Design Co are also available on our Jersey Knit. Sweet Baby Leggings made from our Aloha Jersey Knit fabrics We were quick to whip up a set of baby leggings from our Aloha collection of prints. This fun, tropical themed collection offers a nice range of small and large scale designs, with the Pineapples, Maile Leaves, Kauai Gardens and Kilauea designs being particularly great for the littlest legs. The Baby Legging Pattern is a Free Tutorial from Toddah. They sew up super quick and make a sweet baby gift. We took great care to source a soft fabric that washes beautifully without pilling. Weighing in at 170 gram/square meter or 5oz / square yard, our lightweight knit fabric has a smooth hand and a lovely drape, with great recovery due to the spandex. And since we now offer over 8,000 designs on our new Jersey Knit, we couldn't just stop there! Here's a fun assortment of some knit baby leggings in some of our other kid-friendly fabric choices. Zoo Garden, Oh Deer, and Bjorn Bear are all scaled with wee ones in mind. We're seeing lots of leggings, onesies, caps, dresses, receiving blankets and more! Zoo Garden prints are so cute for baby! Oh Deer has some lovely rustic yet sweet choices Bjorn Bear for your mountain loving little cub! Kaleidoscope from Alison Glass Kaleidoscope from Alison Glass We are thrilled to have a new Kaleidoscope of color from Alison Glass and Andover fabrics! A gorgeous group of shot cottons with a couple of chambrays, this new stash builder "uses two different colors of yarn that are woven together to make a new, final color with a lot of depth and interest. Great care was taken in the combining of the two colors to create a line of woven solid fabrics that are each consistent with the Alison Glass color palette." We are offering the collection in yardag and Fat Quarter Bundles, one Cool and one Warm. This 100% cotton cloth has just the right mix of structure and lightness that drapes beautifully for quilting and garment making. With forty fabrics in the line, a range of light, bright, and dark colors make it a versatile and useful range you'll find it a dream to work with!
