Thank You Leena!

The amazing Leena, armed with scissors and hammer. 
Leena is one of the hardest working women that I know. I am incredibly lucky to know her and work with her. Her opinions, experience and friendship are invaluable to me.  


Moving the store would have been next to impossible without her help. Thank you for making this possible Leena! The new store looks fabulous!

The Best Fashion Advice Ever Given


When it comes to fashion, find out what works for you and stick with it.
    A wise friend once told me, “Don't wear what fashion designers tell you to wear. Wear what they wear. His point being that most designers, no matter they throw onto the runway, favor simple flattering pieces for themselves.
    Anyone one who has never met me can tell you that fashion has always been very very very very very very very very important to me. For example, I once told my cousin, “If the whole store Express was my closet!” How prescient, because now of course, I wear nothing but Express.
    It can't be said enough. Don't concern yourself with fashion; stick to simple pieces that flatter your body type.
    By nineteen, I had found my look. Oversized t-shirts, bike shorts and wrestling shoes. To prevent the silhouette from being too baggy I would cinch it at the waist with my fanny pack. I was pretty sure that I would wear this look forever. The shirts allowed me to express myself with cool sayings like “There is no crying in baseball” and “Universtitรคt Heidelberg,” the bike short showed off my muscular legs, and the fanny pack held all my trolly tokens. I was nailing it on a daily basis. Find something like this for yourself as soon as possible.

Our talented customer, Angie, made this great top from a Yellow Bird Fabrics knit. She used Vogue pattern,V8323. Nice job Angie!
This lovely blouse was made with one of our cotton voiles. We only have a couple yards left of this print so hurry in to make an awesome top like this one. Lookin' good Jessica!
 Elizabeth made Serendipity Studios "Monique" pattern with one of our stretch cottons. I love this floral pattern. Thanks Elizabeth.

Good news, bad news

The good news is, we are getting a lot of beautiful new fabrics!
The bad news is, you will have to wait until we open our new store to see it.
So if any of you are curious as to why I'm not posting new fabric photos on the blog, it is not because we don't have new fabric, it is because the new shop won't open until May 29th. We can't wait to show you all the beautiful new things!

Yellow Bird Fabrics is Moving!!!

Yep, that's right. We are moving! I am very excited to tell you that Yellow Bird Fabrics is expanding into a new building. 
Our new address will be 988 East 3300 South. 
It is a blue building just down the road from our current location. It used to be the Robin's Nest and I take it as a good omen that one bird has left and another is coming. 
We hope to open the new store on May 29th. More details to come.
