I adore hand-dyed fabrics, so much so that I’ve even been dyeing my own fabrics this summer (blog posts to come soon!!). When I heard that Melissa was selling what was left from her fabric dyeing business, I couldn’t believe it. She had indicated she was looking for someone local to purchase the lot. I really didn’t think I had a chance, as we live 8 hours apart. Turns out I did.

Melissa boxed up the fabric and took it to the post office to get a quote. We settled on a price and these lovely fabrics will be making their way to me tomorrow. There’s a slim chance they’ll arrive on Friday, but Monday is more likely. Even though I paid for them, it sure does feel like I won the lottery!

About Sheree’s Alchemy

My name is Sheree and I am the owner of Sheree’s Alchemy. My motto is LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH…CREATE!

I created Sheree’s Alchemy to share my love of fabric, color and the art of making. I hope you’ll find something here that will inspire you to create lovely things for yourself as well as for those you love. I am primarily a garment maker myself, but have fallen for patchwork and quilting over the last 4 years. I also enjoy knitting, embroidery and felting as well as cooking and gardening. I have a blog too.

In my shop, Sheree’s Alchemy, you’ll find an edited selection of fine natural fabrics perfect for sewing, quilting, crafting and home decor projects. Here, you’ll find some lovely organic cotton fabrics in stock.

You’ll also find a host of fat quarter and mixed fabric bundles perfect for stash building or for using in your next quilting or patchwork project.

The apparel fabrics we offer are of the highest quality as well. You’ll find new as well as out-of-print, rare and hard to find prints from domestic designers including Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, Anna Maria Horner, Denyse Schmidt, Kaffe Fassett, Momo’s and more. You’ll also find a collection of European and Japanese import fabrics that will really add uniqueness and beauty to your creations. I will be adding some wonderful vintage treasures to the shop soon, so look out for updates on that.

I am excited to sponsor this week’s themed contest…Stained Glass! I will give away a $50 dollar gift certificate to my online shop.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s entries. Good luck to you all!

xo,
Sheree
