How about a square yard of Pendleton fabric for 28 buckaroos? But of course!
The Pendleton Woolen Mill Store 'Half-a-Slice' program officially launched for the WMS March Madness fabric sale this week. Pendleton fabrics are 60+ inches wide and are sold by the repeat, so a yard can cost upwards of $80. I thought, well, if I get a quarter yard, which is 9" in length and 60 " wide that isn't always the right cut for my projects. A yard can be too much for the project and not always cost effective, so they started a program to offer square yard cuts. Each month they will offer a new Half-a-Slice fabric for $40. It is on sale though the end of the month for 30% off, so a 34" x 36" cut of the Half-a-Slice fabric only costs $28! Think of the possibilities!
I've been working on a bunch of free patterns to go along with the half slices. This month the fabric is featured in my co-worker Stacy's DIY covered boots (no pattern yet...) and for the fabric they are selling next month I have already made a lined yoga bag.
What would you make with a square yard of Pendleton wool? Leave a comment and if I get ten or more comments by the end of the sale I will draw a winner to get a Half-Slice in March of Pendleton Sage Harding.

This is a great program! thanks! I'll try to help you think of some things too. The first thing that comes to mind is a purse pr tote bag...which we can never get enough of. Also, can use it for a pet bed if one likes fancy pet beds.
ReplyDeleteI just got a weaving loom so I want to order some of the narrow strips and see what I can weave up with them.
Sign me up!! I'd love to make a fun bag with these fabrics. Do you know of a pattern to recommend? I'll have to swing by in the next few days.
ReplyDeleteI have a free bag tutorial at the store and there are a few other fun patterns there. Hope to see you! I'm there all day today and tomorrow :-)
DeleteAnother stuffed horse! I have gone bonkers over horses and have purchased the three ponies available on the Pendleton USA website. Can anyone point me in a direction as to how much wool might be needed for a midsize stuffed animal?? Any guidance is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThose horsed are super cute! I think you could do it with the square yard and some creative cutting. I was looking at one in the store today and it doesn't seem to take very much fabric. If you have one I would make a paper or muslin pattern from it and lay it out and see what you come up with!
