So… I had a lot of fun with this particular sample. The fabric I used is called “Alluring Butterflies” , but to be honest, I had no idea there were actually butterflies in this print until I looked up the name of the fabric! I paired it with our brand new zipper style with a…
Read MoreThere’s a New Zip in Town ’23
So… every couple of years we try to add a new zipper style to our repetoire and since the last time we added a new zip was in 2021, I’ve been on the lookout for something new and unusual. I’ve been thinking all along that I wanted to go with multi-colored zipper teeth but somehow…
