I’ve often heard it said in many of my sewing/knitting/crochet groups that the act of buying fabric/yard/patterns and the act of sewing/knitting/crocheting are two different hobbies. And I couldn’t agree more… I just love the possibilities that a new yard or two of fabric holds!

I also am always looking for new Canadian sources of fabric. Over the past couple of years I’ve found a couple shops that have become a go-to when looking for new prints and basics. During one of my many searches, I came across Bibs & Boots Fabric, which is based out of Saskatchewan.

The thing that first drew me to this shop was their selection of bamboo jersey & rib knits. They have lots Euro knits and some customs too!

So, about a week or two ago, I was looking for some fabrics to sew up a couple samples of a new pattern I’m working on (and some things for my own personal use), so I thought I’d give them a try!

I purchased 4 different rib knits. They all have a great feel and the dainty florals are perfect for what I have in mind.

This is my second “Unboxing” video I’ve uploaded to my Youtube Channel. I usually get so excited on fabric delivery day that I tear into the box before even thinking to press record, but I’m going to try to share more of these with you! One of my favourite things about buying from smaller companies like this one is the personal touches they add, like a had written note or a little surprise gift. I try to do that with my own business. A hand written note just gives you that bit of connection with the person on the other end of the purchase!

Let me know if there are any other shops you’d be interested in seeing!
