salty oat: the fabric shop!

You can now purchase prints by Umbrella Prints in the shop, including a few from their newest collection, Floating World, which launched just last week. Umbrella Prints makes beautiful, organic fabrics and is run by two talented women, Amy and Carly. I've loved working with their fabrics, and competing in their annual Trimmings Competition (you can see my past entries here and here).
I have a few other designers lined up for the shop, which I'll be adding in the coming months. If you have any favorite independent designers you'd love to see in the shop, please let me know!

I've been wanting to change things up on the blog for a while, and after taking a website design class at Sewing Summit, I finally felt ready to do it. After reading some online tutorials and designing a few new things in Photoshop (a huge accomplishment for me!), I wound up with something I love---a clean, simple space to highlight my projects. What do you think of the new look?
