In case you haven't already seen this cute little Emma Dress sew-along from Jess over at Craftiness is not Optional, do click on over now. She guides you through step-by-step in how to make your own Emma dress in 3 installments. Her fabric of choice? Berry Bush from Cut Out & Keep by Skinny Laminx and Cloud9 Fabrics. We love the extra touch of ric rac! 'Sew' cute!

Winter Fabric Preview: Michael Miller Fabrics

Fun and whimsy, along with some pretty stellar color combos, are the hallmarks of Patty Sloniger's first collection, Backyard Baby. She was the winner of Project Selvage, hosted by Spoonflower in conjunction with Michael Miller Fabrics. (I voted for her!!!) Look for this one early next year. In the meantime, I will keep on drooling over this one!

Going alongside Backyard Baby is Bella Butterfly, also from Patty Sloniger. Pretty, pretty, and... more pretty. I think Patty is quite a talent and I'm excited to see more of her designs in the future.

Another early 2012 delivery... Laura Gunn's Garden Wall, which will be available in 3 colorways: Olive, Sky and Indigo. All equally glorious!

Patty Young's new one is called Lush and it's been made in two colorways: Sunny and Sweet. (Sunny is shown above while Sweet has a cooler color palette. Think turquoises, greens and purples.) This one has a January 2012 release.

Winter Fabric Preview: Lecien

Look for a new Isso Ecco line from Lecien this season. There are a total of 15 prints in a range of muted -- but still strong -- colors.

Also from Lecien is Natalie Lymer's (of Cinderberry Stitches fame) first fabric collection, Woodland. Just like her embroidery designs, Natalie's Woodland is playful and whimsical -- and features a stunning array of colorways. It will be out in December. (Now cute is that mushroom house?)

Also out in December is Rosalie Quinlan's Folk. Think pinks, red, blues, greens and yellows for this one -- and 3 colorways, too! (Anyone else in love with anything gingham like me?)

Winter Fabric Preview: Robert Kaufman

Coming out this December is Betz White's debut collection, Stitch. It will be available in Garden and Lagoon colorways, both of which are sampled above. Fans of organic cottons will be happy to hear that Stitch is part of Robert Kaufman's Green Style collection of organics.

Laurie Wisbrun fans (waves hand) will be delighted to hear she has a new collection coming out. It's called Modern Whimsy and is also part of the Green Style collection (meaning, organic cottons). Look for it in January 2012 in Meadow and Park colorways.

Now here's something a little different from Robert Kaufman -- and way fun! It's called Who's that Girl? and it's from designer and illustrator Izak Zenou. I don't know about you, but I'm in love with this. Look for it in January 2012.

Winter Fabric Preview: Cloud9 and Birch Fabrics (organics)

Cloud9 has a slew of great new stuff coming out this winter and it all starts with Alegria. This is Geninne Zlatikis' debut collection with Cloud9. Alegria means happiness in Spanish. Pretty fitting name, don't you think? Look for this one in January 2012.

Ed Emberley fans can finally see these ever-popular illustrations on fabric, thanks to a collaboration with Cloud9. So that means it's all organic! Now that is what I call win-win! Look for this one in early 2012.

And since we just can't get enough of the organics, here's another: Circa 52 from Birch Fabrics. Retro? Yes! Tres cool? Indeed. Look for this one in November.
