Today I’m happy to highlight a new stockist of Arroyo fabric, Gather Here in Cambridge, MA. I connected with shop owner Virginia B. Johnson to talk about her vision for Gather Here, and to hear more about her lovely store. Beyond just fabric and notions, Gather Here hosts creative workshops, and has a unique, community feel. This shop is really something special, and if you live in the Boston area, I hope you’ll stop by and see Arroyo fabrics in person.

I’m excited to see that Arroyo, my first fabric collection for Robert Kaufman fabrics, is beginning to appear in select fabric stores! So far I’ve gotten word from about a dozen shops directly that the fabric is in stock, including Bolt Fabrics in Portland, Oregon; Bijou Lovely in Iron Mountain, Michigan; and Fabric Bubb (online only).
I’ve created a partial list of stockists carrying Arroyo fabrics, and new shops will be added regularly. If you have a favorite fabric store in your area, stop by or give them a call to find out if they’re carrying Arroyo in their shop!
It’s so exciting to see your Arroyo sewing projects start to appear on social media — thank you so much for sharing your projects with the #ArroyoFabric hashtag. I wanted to share some of my recent favorite projects that have been shared to the feed! If you’re sewing anything with Arroyo, I hope you’ll tag me in the photo on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.

2017 has been a pretty crazy year so far, and many of us are re-examining our self-care routines, and looking for ways to relax and enjoy more time at home. It feels like a perfect time to bring back a fresh batch of our linen lavender sachets, made in collaboration with Minor Thread.
As always, our lavender sachets are made with organic lavender, and handmade in California. For this batch, we’ve chosen eight fabrics from the new Arroyo collection to create the sachets ⏤ a rainbow of naturally scented sachets to bring life to your linen closet or bedside table. Find all the new sachets in the shop!
I feel so humbled to have been interviewed in Seamwork Magazine this month! I am always in awe of anyone who can sew their own clothing ⏤ sewing curves and delicate seams is a whole other ballgame compared to the relatively simple designs I sew for Cotton & Flax. It’s an honor to have the opportunity to share my story with Seamwork’s community of talented makers.
In the interview, I talk a bit about Arroyo, my new fabric collection with Robert Kaufman, as well as the ways that I bring my ethics and sustainable mindset to my work at Cotton & Flax. Check out the full interview in Seamwork Magazine to learn more about my background as a maker, as well as my future goals for Cotton & Flax.
I’m always so happy to see Cotton & Flax pieces in use in your homes. Today I’m sharing some recent customer photos I spotted on Instagram! This first snap of an impressive coaster pile is from Cotton & Flax stockist Hop & Dox.
I’m happy to see more photos of my new stockist JOIN Shop starting to appear online. If you live in Seattle, stop by and check out Cotton & Flax tea towels, and tons of other beautifully designed home goods and gifts.
I love grapefruit (pamplemousse, anyone??), and this lovely shot from customer Amanda Krovic makes a minimalist breakfast look so beautiful. I love that Cotton & Flax tea towels are used for everything from drying dishes, to an informal oversized placemat.
This beautifully composed shot features Cotton & Flax trivets, paired with beautiful ceramic bowls made by LA-based artist Linda Hsiao. I love seeing our work together!
Finally, this gorgeous place setting features our bestselling charcoal confetti coaster, along with other artisan-made tabletop goods (and a perfectly ripe avocado). A big thank you to Carrie from Half Hitch Goods for sharing this photo.
