 Hi you guys! Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside the Hymn. So I am out running some errands today and I thought I would pop in to my local Joanne to see if they have any fabrics that would be good for the sew along that we are all working on. Additionally, I also reached out to some of my favorite online fabric shops who posted some fabrics from their inventory that they thought would be great for the pattern as well. So you are about to see a ton of fabric options specifically picked just for our sew along. How cool is that? The description box is going to be jam packed for this one. I will put links to each and every fabric that's mentioned. So let's jump right in. The first fabric shop that I posted was Minerva Crafts. Minerva Crafts is based in the United Kingdom. So obviously all of you that live out there can order from them and it's like pretty much local domestic shipping. For those of you that live in the United States, they do have international shipping. They actually have really great affordable international shipping. So don't let that deter you. If you fall in love with one of the following fabrics, you can get it. The only issue is it might take a little bit longer than the other options. So let's check out the suggestions from Minerva Crafts. Those are so beautiful. Okay, next up is Soso English. This is a relatively new online fabric shop to me. They are mostly known for their knits, but they did give us some suggestions for woven as well. They are based in Southern California, United States. So if you live here locally, you'll have your regular domestic shipping. And if you're international, reach out to them about international shipping. I know it's offered. I just don't know the pricing or how long it takes. But let's check out the options that they are giving us. Hi everyone. I just wanted to take a second and let y'all know that our friend Lindsay inside the Hymn is running a sew-along for the McCalls M7405. It's a beautiful, very, very easy, very simple dress great for beginners. And we're going to go over a couple of the fabric options that we have here that would work really well for it. So be sure to follow her sew-along, follow her page. She has a YouTube channel with a lot of helpful sewing tips and tricks. So the pattern calls for medium weight wovens and knits. So if you want to go with the wovens, we have some beautiful fabrics that would work really well for this. It calls for shallies, crepes, and gauzes. This is a rayon crepe with a beautiful watercolor floral. This is the Mona. And then you've got the mosaic crepe. This one is so beautiful. I think it would make a great, great summer dress. And then lastly, this is our Haley rayon crepe. I really love this floral because I'm not someone who wears a lot of bright colors. So that really pretty, blushy flower is toned down with the black on the background there. And I really like that one. Now, if you want to go with knits, this is a good one for, like, modal, bamboo. The bamboo and modals are going to have some beautiful drape to them. They have a little bit of a stiffer hand to them. So you've got that that's easy, really easy to work with. The it y is one of my personal favorites. And it would be so, so beautiful for this dress, because it is a little bit slinky and dressy and look at the drape on this. It is just absolutely beautiful and flowy. And I love it. If you want something with a little bit more hands, the cotton modals would be great. This one's a little bit stiffer because of that cotton that's in it, but it still has some really nice drapes. You've got beautiful drape, but it's a little bit thicker, a little bit more stable. So go ahead and check out her and participate in that. Like I said, it's just super easy. So okay, next up is, you guessed it, style maker fabrics, one of my go-tos. She is based in the Washington state Seattle area. Let's see what she has picked out. She's got a ton of inspiration for us. So let's look at it. Of options. I told you guys, are you overwhelmed? Have you picked like more than one or more than five? So I'm sitting outside my joe in now. I'm going to go in. I'm going to try and pick out three or five that I think would work for the pattern. And we'll see what they have. They actually have a bunch of 100% rayon in like springy florals. This blue one's really pretty. This one with a white background is okay, but it's kind of sheer, but they are all the 100% rayon spring silky print collection. Sorry, it's not focusing. Okay, I found some more. There's this black one. That's really beautiful. There is this black one. Super cute. Love that one. And there was one. Oh shoot, I might have lost it. I think, nope. Oh no, I can't find it. This one here. Pink and like diamond. Cute. Okay, for knits, they have a ton of rayon spandex knits. I'll show you the end of bolt in a second, but they have this print. They have this really pretty animal print. This pink one with little flowers is cute. They have this blue one with are those bees. This pink one with like splattery gold. We have like snake skin. We've got like, I guess those are feathers. We've got these leaves. We've got this floral. There's a ton of these as well. And if you come to the store, you're looking for knit print, spring knit prints, 97% rayon, 3% spandex, or just screen cap this. All right, they actually have a gajillion options. So many of those rayon, 100% rayon wovens. And then like all of these are the same rayon spandex knit. So if you want a woven, get one of the first ones I shared. If you want a knit, get one of these I shared. They're all 40% off today. I don't know when the sale ends, but head over to your Joanne and look for either one of those two options that I just shared. All right, back in the car now. What did you think?
