Flowers Awake & Springtime's Here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bleeding HeartsMy flowers are blooming and my daughter has already been quick to pick me some bleeding hearts!  I so enjoy spring... the new life, a fresh beginning, the feel of clean air in the house - ahhhhhhhh....  

With the onset of spring, we are beginning a new project - a remodeling project that is.  That's right, we're cleaning out and redoing our entire basement, which includes one of the supply stock rooms.  You will notice our spring cleaning with some fun-loaded box lots available to the highest bidder.  They're already packed and ready to ship out. 
 
You may have also taken advantage of a new button link at the leftside of the April 1930's website.  Quilting Attachments will take you directly to the NEW! Quilting Attachments page - 1/4" feet, Stitch-in-the-Ditch, Walking Feet and more - your accessories are now easier to find and purchase directly.  Don't forget - shipping is free in the USA! 
 

Singercraft FAGOTER Attachment Accessory and Fashion Aid  Singercraft HEMSTITCHER & PICOT EDGER Sewing Machine Attachment

There are some new Vintage Singer Attachment items available, too!  I found some Hemstitcher and Picot Edge Attachments (including one with the appropriate throat plate for a Featherweight 221) and there is one complete Fagoter left.  I always include a small sample with each purchased Singer Attachment assuring you of a properly working and tested item.
 
Portabellopixie Patterns by Sandi Henderson
 
 
 
Portabellopixie Patterns are a new division from Sandi Henderson - the well-known quilter's cotton fabric designer.  Her patterns are now available for purchase through April 1930's.  On one of the very first spring days I took photographs of the little Portabellopixie Pants I made for my daughter.  They are so sweet and feminine - stylish for any little girl!
 
 
Oliver + S Children's Patterns
 
 
 
 
The new Oliver + S patterns arrived and I've personally had the opportunity to sew each one - the pattern designs and details are my very favorite!  The sailboat pants will be made many times for lots of summer wear.  And, I will give you one guess which Singer Attachment I used to apply the baby rick rack to the Sailboat Top (click photo below for the answer)!

Well, that just about does it for now.  April showers bring May flowers!
 
 
Happy Spring!
