New! Swanky Swell Screenprinted Fat Quarters!

Swanky Swell fat quarters are here! These modern prints are designed and hand screenprinted by Nina Jizhar on an organic cotton/hemp fabric.


This super eco-friendly fabric is sturdy enough for bags and small upholstery projects and is oh so pretty and unique!

New! Hemp Goodness--Denim, Jersey, Webbing and More!

Hemp is here!

Check out the new hemp wovens: a denim and a ticking, both 55% hemp/45% organic cotton, and on the right a tweedy 55% hemp/45% recycled cotton, the bits of recycled cotton adding a touch of color and texture. I've never seen a lovelier denim than this--oh my goodness, it's pretty. We are imagining crisp denim dresses for summer, hemp ticking sailor blouses, and tweedy summer bicycling shorts. This fabric makes us swoon.


Hemp is perfect for summer--it is cooler than cotton and naturally antibacterial so it will keep you cool and fresh on summer days. We also have a new hemp/organic cotton jersey, perfect for tees and soft baby items.


100% Hemp cotton webbing is here, too. It is super strong and works great for bag handles, belts and dog leashes.


Hooray for hemp!
