Pleating Dowel's

Do you own a Pleater? Do you have a Pleater Dowel? If not, you need one!

Let me tell you, why!

A pleater dowel is a device used by smockers to feed fabric through a pleater. The dowel is covered in fabric which holds the fabric firmly in place.

The pleating dowel fits Amanda Jane and Read Pleaters. There is a different size for each pleater. The dowels are 12" (16-row), 15" (24-row), and 18" (24 and 32-row).





Do you use a pleater and find holding your fabric difficult or use another similar device but still find holding the fabric in place difficult? The pleating dowel is the device for you. I assure you will find the pleating dowel a must have for your ease and comfort in pleating. The perfect piece of pleats!

Winter is Back

I was starting to wonder if we would ever be seeing snow again in Bend, Oregon? I was in Portland, Oregon last week and they have their bulbs and flowers popping out of the ground. Wow!

Have you had a chance to Pre-order the new Portabellopixie patterns? I am expecting their arrival mid-February (or earlier). I also hope to have "Ruffle Pants" in stock again very soon.....in fact, if you are the one who was planning a class I can get you the pattern minus the booklet.

Will It Ever Snow in Bend, Oregon?

I understand the Eastern half of our Country is freezing. On the West Coast we are experiencing unseasonably warm weather and the days are getting longer. Which means Spring is fast approaching. Woo Hoo!

I am adding a new pattern line "Sew Blessed Designs" to our collection. The first pattern "Pleated Skort" is available now for pre-orders. I hope to have the patterns in stock by the end of the week or early next week.

Happy New Year my Sewing Friends

Have you wondered where i've been for the past two months? I've been watching a lot of Oregon football. I hope to not be so neglectful of this blog in 2010.

As many know we have been in our current location for eight years. Our warehouse was in a desperate need for a remodel.

I started on Monday re-alphabetizing our entire 2,000+ pattern collection what a task.

I have taken a picture of the mess I created on the floor and believe me it was worse
