New! Kona Solid Bundles

New! Kona Solid Bundles

We look for inspiration for our Kona Solids bundles in all places. This week you'll find two new bundles added to our vast collection of 130+ options, all unique to the workroom. Daybreak is a blue and white collection with a pop of honey that coordinates perfectly with new Cotton + Steel Break of Dawn collection. Sometimes our inspiration comes directly from your orders - Kaleidoscope is a slice of the rainbow that we lifted from Maiko's fun solids order last week!

Pop Up Maker Market : Krystal Zorzi

Pop Up Maker Market : Krystal Zorzi

We are continuing our Pop Up Maker Market series with this month's maker, Krystal Zorzi. Krystal is a long time workroom community member who also took part in our Heart Crafted event in February.  We learned early on that Krystal is not only a talented and avid sewist, but is also an accomplished artist. We have always loved her custom watercolour house portraits, so we were absolutely blown away when she surprised us with a portrait of the workroom building for our February Heart Crafted event. Now you can also own a print of this wonderfully detailed rendition of the workroom's home on Queen Street West. For this Pop Up Preorder, she has created three special prints inspired by the workroom and sewing, along with a sweet patchwork block greeting card.
