Freebird by Momo - my current favorite fabric collection

(I don't think most of them knew I work part time in a fabric store.) So I wrote a little Fabric Shopping 101 for any fabric store newbies out there. It's pretty basic stuff. (There are those of you out there who could probably write at Master's Thesis on the topic so feel free to weigh in!)
Check out Or So She Says - they have some great info on a multitude of topics!
