So many amazing Balboa projects are being shared over on Instagram! Thought I’d share some of my favorites here today.
This charlie caftan dress is my dream summer outfit. So breezy, yet perfectly pulled together with some cute sandals. Love that Emmanuelle Prompt sewed up something so cute with my fabric!

Siamese Social Club created a whole collection of pet beds with Balboa fabrics! I am obsessed with how sweet these are. Her cat models are the cutest!

Local sewist Rachel Moore created a lovely Wiksten Shift dress with a chambray blue Balboa fabric. Loved meeting her in person when she stopped by the shop in San Diego!

This kids romper from Ashley Rose is beyond cute! Pickle is the perfect hue for kids clothing.

Meg McCarthy‘s matching mother + daughter pants are so cool! Love a twin wardrobe situation!! Even though this is technically Arroyo and not Balboa, I had to include it in the roundup.

A beautiful quilt made by Stay Little Sewing. A traditional design, made modern through the use of printed linen Balboa fabrics!

Love this Redwood Tote that Kathryn Schmidt made with rose colored Balboa fabric.

Sophie Zaugg made the coolest fabric bins with Balboa fabric. Perfect landing spot for mail or your keys when you come home.

I am absolutely in love with the Balboa espadrilles that Lisa sewed at her workshop at Butchers Sew Shop!
