New Classes

With the over whelming trend to DIY, in the past few months. So many people have been asking me to teach a class on home decor. So starting NOW! fleur is offering a intro to curtains and intro to pillows class. Both are separate 2hr classes @ 40$ each!!

I am also offering a class on theMEI TAI baby sling. If you have children you know that a new mom needs several different types of baby slings, depending on the age of the baby and where you are carrying them. The MEI TAi is one of the most popular "pack" style carriers and one of the most expensive retails between 90 to 120 dollars!! for 40 dollars plus the cost of your fabric you can make you own!!
If you don't want to learn you just WANT one custom orders are available call or email for details


dads like to baby carry too!!

Frogs and Tad Poles

Heather Ross has landed at fleur and I'm totally in love not only are her prints adorable, cute, they are not juvenile. The quality of the fabric is like butter!!



I taught a class last week where we made a pattern from a store bought pair of little boys pants. I think this fabric would be great to make a second pair.

New Amy Butler is trickling in also..

Holly the designer behind EESOME is the 1st local artist/craft artisan that is now available for sale at fleur.

Her back packs are unbelievably cute,



they are the perfect size to pack a picnic to the park ( and what a perfect day to do it) or for a teenager to carry.

She also has a variety of Ipod cases!


Her choice of fabrics are fabulous , I need to find which designers she uses to I can carry them in the store!

Check out her etsy store, I love her coin purses.
