This cute little tote finishes 6in wide, 5in deep and 8in tall - perfect for those little kids or your work lunch! Now, let’s get to a free tutorial.

h+h americas 2024 Recap

I have definitely been taking a “better late, than never” attitude towards blogging. Not only has it been quite a few months since our last post, it has been a few months since we went to Chicago for h+h Americas! I think it is officially time for a recap. To put it simply, WE LOVED IT! It was everything we have been missing from Market and just getting started.

Quilty Friendship Bracelets

I LOVE when my worlds collide and when I saw that people were making quilty friendship bracelets to exchange at QuiltCon I was equally elated and bummed. The bummed part is only because we opted to not attend QuitCon this year, so I am having some serious FOMO! But, that did not stop the giant Swiftie inside me from making a handful (okay, way more than a handful!) of bracelets.

The SUMMER LOVIN' Projects!

Now that the days officially getting longer and we are getting a little glimpse of the Summer season coming up, it is time to share some of the projects we made with Summer Lovin’. By now the line has officially shipped out to stores and you have seen all the gorgeous projects our talented quilty friends have made, so I think it is our time!

This one of my favorite parts about designing a fabric line. All the “work” is done and we finally get to chop it up into pieces and make things out of it! I always have visions of how the fabric is going to look in projects and rarely am I correct. But, that adds to the fun!

Say Hello to our 4 NEW ZIPPER COLORS!

New Zippers in the house! And boy are they the burst of color we need during this grey gloomy season in the PNW. We added four new colored stripes to our collection of Zipper Tapes. These new colors pair beautifully with Summer Lovin’, Tula Pink’s fabrics, our Jelly Vinyls, Alison Glass’s fabric and so many more!

The Summer Lovin' Makers

We made a lookbook and filled it with fun projects (I will share those in another post), but one of my favorite things is to see how other makers use and interpret my fabric. I knew the release of Summer Lovin’ would be at a busy time and running a whole big social media campaign in between retail shows and right before Thanksgiving felt a bit overwhelming. So, I sent some fabric out to some of my favorite makers with no strings attached to see if they would like to make something out of it, and boy did they come through!

Introducing my SUMMER LOVIN' Fabric Line!

Summer Lovin’ is my 5th fabric line with Windham Fabrics, following Foundation, Good Vibes Only, Favorite Things and Pura Vida. As the names reflects, this line is inspired by summer love. Not necessarily the romantic fling type, but the small glimmer moments that seem to be in abundance during those warm months. Summer Lovin’ was came to fruition while I was in the land of eternal summer, Hawaii. I doodled all these little reminders of moments and they turned into a complete collection of prints and colors.

Introducing the SweetPea Sling!

Sling bags have been popping everywhere recently and we are here for it! We love this style of bag for it’s versatility and easy usability. We decided to design a bag of our own so we could add all our favorite elements and make it the PERFECT sling! And so the SweetPea Sling was conceived! In true Sassafras Lane fashion, we named this fun bag after our sweet girl Elsie, the white pup that makes regular appearances on our socials. We called her SweetPea for the first few weeks after we adopted her before we named her and it has stayed a nickname for the last 8 years!
