I’d like to welcome some new stockists to the Colette Patterns family! Some of these wonderful shops are fairly recent discoveries for me, and some are shops I’ve admired and purchased from for years. We’ve added them all to our stockists page, so take a look!

Stone Mountain & Daughter is a wonderful store located in Berkeley, CA. For those that don’t know, I used to live in Berkeley. I did almost all of my fabric shopping at Stonemountain. They have an amazing variety of fashion fabrics, in addition to a good selection of independent patterns. The button selection is outstanding. And the staff are good people.

Birch Fabrics has a fairly new retail location in Paso Robles, in addition to their online store, fabricworm. They have a really really terrific selection of modern fabrics, so fun to browse!

Bobbin’s Nest Studio in Santa Clara, CA is the labor of love of proprietress Erin McGee, who extols the rewards of social crafting, including sewing and knitting. Personally, I love shops that carry both fabric and yarn, since knitting is my other (though lately neglected) crafting passion. Bobbin’s Nest has a great selection of high quality goods and lovely yarns.

Urban Arts and Crafts is our second retailer in Kansas City, and they look amazing! Everything from Amy Butler fabric to beading supplies in what looks like a lovely space.

Pompom Rouge is a brand new craft studio opening in Townsville, Queensland, Australia. I love how many retailers we’re picking up in Australia, because I know we get lots of customers in Australia who love our patterns, and ordering from these shops can really save you on shipping, even if you’re not close enough to stop in. Pompom Rouge looks like a whole lot of fun!

Fabric Bar

The Fabric Bar is a new-to-me online fabric store with seriously one of the cutest online shops I’ve ever seen. I especially love their organic fabrics and the incredibly cute linen sewing tape.

Buyolympia.com is last, but certainly not least. Can I tell you how much I love this shop? I bought my first and most beloved Queen Bee bag from them years and years ago, and they still carry some of the coolest products out there of all kinds. I am totally excited to see my work next to some of my favorite artists there.

Cheers to all of our lovely new stockists!

Thanks Twila Jean, I’ve definitely heard of Nancy’s and had a few people recommend them at different times! I’ve been meaning to stop in on a trip to Seattle, it sounds like a lovely place!
