Where to buy Violet and Ginger near you

Of course, you are always welcome to buy patterns in our shop, but sometimes it makes more sense to buy them locally (particularly those of you overseas).

So here is a roundup of the retailers we know and love, and who we’ve already shipped the new patterns off to. If you’re looking for a shop that’s closer to you, check these out. Please be aware that due to travel time and customs, some of the non-US shops may not have received the patterns yet, but they will soon!

PS: If you’d like to see our patterns in a store near you, don’t be afraid to ask them! Many of our favorite retailers found us through their customers!

No Illinois locales. Darn! I do like the skirt especially rendered in the chevron pattern. You don’t see this too often, but it’s clever and often flattering. The blue version just makes me thing of Casey’s egg shell blue Stitch in Time sweater. The sweater and the skirt would go together like tea and a cup! (Casey is blogger Elegant Musings) MB

Thanks for listing these stores. I’ve been looking for local fabric stores just south of San Francisco with very little luck. I can’t wait to stop into the store in Santa Clara, California. Thanks again!

I’m going to try to make it over to Bobbin’s Nest later today to pick them up. :)

Oh I’m so excited! I’m about to move back to Boston and I had no idea until just now that I’ll be living just BLOCKS away from a fabric store! (A fabric store that clearly has good taste, since it carries your patterns!) Once I cross a few (or many) things of my long to-sew list (including Rooibos and Parfait), I’ll definitely head over there to pick up Macaron… and probably Sencha… and maybe Violet too… :)

Oh, darn! I was hoping The Common Thread in Austin would have the new ones. Oh well – I can’t wait! I too impatient and want to start making Violets soon, so I’m ordering on-line. These are fantastic patterns!

I need to push Les Fabriques in Charlottesville, VA to start carrying your pattern line! I mentioned you to them and they hadn’t heard of you, but I think your designs are perfect for the customers that come in. Hmm…

Thank you for sharing this! I didn’t realise your patterns were for sale by Australian websites. That will make it a lot easier to purchase. Thank you!

I wish they would stock your patterns at JoAnn Fabrics of Hancocks too! I’ll ask next time I’m in one of those stores :)
