- February 08, 2017It’s about that time when you go and profess your love to that one special someone! But what’ll really get you going is wracking your brain on what exactly to give them! Let’s face it, this happened during Christmas, and if you’re anything like us, you probably have one of those S/O’s with a January birthday that you had to buy two presents for; that’s double the brain-wracking and card swiping! But above that, you can make this for any special someone in your life; from your Mom, to your sweet Grandma, Teacher, or Best Friend. Make them something with true love. This cute pillow serves many purposes and is so quick to make! All you need is: -Two 18”x18” pieces of red Crushed Panné fabric (a little less than a yard) -A coordinating fabric for your heart shaped pocket Click here for the one we used -Thread & Scissors -An old pillow to re-use stuffing or new pillow stuffing 1.

Maybe you’re even planning a NYE party and are looking for the finishing touch that will give you that “wow” factor for the night. Well, you can stop searching because you’ve found it! Amaze your guests by having this glittering back drop. It’s dual purpose-decoration, and can also serve as a photo-op area.

Things You’ll Need: 6 yards Gold Glitter Knit fabric Scissors or rotary cutter Marking pen & ruler 36-40” ribbon in a coordinating color Begin by unfolding and laying out the gold glitter knit.

- December 16, 2016If you know David Textiles, then you know one of our favorite things is seeing what our customers make with the fabrics they purchase. We got some photos this week of a cute outfit made from our Four Seasons Cotton Basics line-specifically the brown gingham-and let me tell you it’s cuteness overload! If this doesn’t show that you are only limited to what you can make, we don’t know what will! Look at all the wonderful things you can make. Sewing is truly an art and you should be proud to know how! You are truly only limited by your imagination on the things you can create. With the exception of our fabulous little model, isn’t it the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?! Christmas is knock, knock, knockin’ on your door and it’s time to think of those Holiday outfits! In a world where all the clothes at every store look the same (read, boring) everyone will be jolly to see something so cute and different in a sea of sameness. Let’s get into the Christmas Spirit and with this adorable Gingerbread

- September 15, 2016The kid’s are back in school and you’re finally getting your routine down again when you remember you didn’t take the kids back to school shopping! Or, maybe you did and you just didn’t find many things you thought were worth buying. Either way, this super easy summer dress will remind you of summer all year long and get your children Back to School: In Style! This pattern piece! ¾ Yard of your favorite (link) Rose & Hubble fabrics from Walmart.com 1 Yard of another Rose & Hubble Fabric (for the contrasting skirt) First, cut out 4 of your pattern piece on the fold. Don’t forget to add in the seam allowance of your choosing prior to cutting them out of your fabrics. We like a ¼” seam allowance. Next, grab two of the pattern pieces and open them up. Lay them flat on the table, right sides together and sew up the side seams, around the arms, shoulders and necklines. We like to use a small zig-zag for this. Turn the fabric right side out and iron everything nice and flat. Repeat for the other

- March 15, 2016It's always exciting and gratifying to hear what our customers are doing with our fabrics. Sometimes we get lucky and our enthusiastic "partners" send pictures of the end results. Here are a couple of clever and heartwarming uses for our cottons and flannels. The spunky bow tie was finely crafted by Cursor & Thread custom designs in Canada. The pillowcases were made at a charitable event held at the Hard Rock Cafe in LA. The organization "Case for Smiles, LA" is a Los Angeles based Non-profit working with the sick children in Los Angeles area hospitals. We welcome your pictures! Email to Lkern@davidtextiles.net.
