Happy almost- fall everyone!
For most, this is the fantastic time of the year when school is starting, the hot summer nights turn into cool sleeping weather, and Halloween candy starts appearing in supermarkets. In the fashion world something equally as fantastical and marvelous is happening: fall collections are hitting the runways.
No list of back to school necessities is complete without Crayola crayons; they are a staple in and out of the classroom. Now they are the norm in the sewing room as well!
The geniuses working at that colorful company have developed “Fabric Crayons.” All you have to do to use them is draw whatever you want to transfer to fabric onto paper, then iron it onto the fabric of your choosing. Go crazy with it! Personalize everything from T-shirts and scarves to backpacks.
If you’re of a certain age, when someone mentions “blue suede” you will mostly likely think of Blue Suede Shoes, the song made famous by Elvis Presley.

1) Suede Fabric Gloves
The term comes from the French “gants de Suède”, which means “gloves of Sweden.” If you’ve ever worn a pair of soft leather gloves made of suede fabric, you know how special they feel.
