I am so happy to be back! I had a wonderful time in Vancouver for the past 6 months spoiling our grandchildren. BUT there are no shops down there that satisfied my craving for fabric! I came “home” a few times and made sure that I made time to come to Thread and Paper. It was wonderful to walk in the door and be greeted by a smile and a warm hello. The shop is just amazing. So many items displayed to help give you ideas, great staff to answer questions and show you where to look when you can’t seem to find what you want, and on top of it all, when there is something the shop…by some miracle…does not have in stock already, the staff is happy to order it for you!! I love the shop and can only encourage anyone interested in knitting, quilting, scrapbooking…don’t look any further..you have found the best place to look right here in Salmon Arm. Thank you Carol and all your great staff!

The pattern calls for outdoor canvas for both the exterior and interior, along with Peltex fusible stabilizer and fusible fleece. As always, we encourage the testers to get creative with the pattern. It’s important to show versatility in how it’s used. So while my intent is for a sturdy bag made from cotton fabrics and very little hardware for beginning bagmakers, the testers have used a variety of materials. They generously shared all the details to inspire you to make your own Sunset Beach Tote. Machine Repair EVERY Wednesday Machines will be serviced (and scissors sharpened) IN the store.
