Welcome to the 33rd edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. A special hello to my new visitors via the Craft Industry Alliance. 👋 Abby interviewed me live on Instagram about what it's like to run Sewfinity. (and good grief, maybe someday I'll get my hair bangs figured out!) Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday January 26, 2025 Good evening! We are about to double our shelving storage in our warehouse at Sewfinity. I just can't believe it, the growth we had last...

We are very...

Welcome to the 31st edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday October 27, 2024 Good afternoon! Are you enjoying fall? I sure am. I'm sitting on my back patio as I write this, enjoying the sights and sounds of autumn in Idaho: bright blue sky, golden sunshine, puffy white clouds, orange and red and yellow and green leaves everywhere. The breeze is perfection, making the trees sway. Their leaves sound like gentle ocean waves. The...

Welcome to the 30th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday September 22, 2024 Good morning! I have been sewing so much the past few weeks! It is absolutely true that sewing increases our happiness, because I'm sure feeling the euphoria. I've sewn a bunch of zipper pouches, playing around with some pattern ideas I've had in my head for a long while. I'm planning to publish them as sewing patterns at some point, but in the...

Welcome to the 29th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday August 25, 2024 Good morning! The end of August... such a great time of year. The days are getting cooler, school is starting back up, and it's my birthday time. Coo coo ca-choo, I'm about to be 52! It's so weird, it feels like I should be half that age. Life is funny. Let's see, what happened since I wrote to you last month? The Art Gallery Fabrics folks released 21...

Welcome to the 27th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday June 9, 2024 Good afternoon! Our big news for you this month? We have an entire new quilting cotton solid line: 24/7 Solids by Hoffman Fabrics. I don't know if 24/7 Solids is new, or if Hoffman has been offering it for awhile, but either way, I feel ridiculous we haven't offered it before now. They are simply gorgeous and feel super smooth. When you look at the picture...

Welcome to the 26th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday April 14, 2024 Good morning! Hey, remember cross stitch? Back when I was a kid I cross-stitched a bit, but I pretty much abandoned it. I think I got frustrated with the technique and my ability. Plus I became obsessed with boys and then with quilting 😆 But here I am back interested in cross stitch again, though I'm still obsessed with quilting and yeah boys too (luv ya...

Welcome to the 25th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday January 28, 2024 Good afternoon! Every January I look at Sewfinity's numbers for the previous year. I see what worked, what didn't, and how to use that data going forward. So what worked in 2023? Well, Kona Cotton, that's for sure. Kona was our biggest-selling fabric line, no doubt because of the range of colors and reasonable price point. The top selling colors? Black,...
