Welcome to Cyber Week at Lee & Pearl™!
DAY ONE Monday FLASH SILK SALE
All our 100% SILK ORGANZA fabrics and kits are now ON SALE!
Over the last few days, you may have noticed the 100% silk organza by the yard and sampler kit listings disappearing from our shop, one by one. That's because our designer Pearl was reorganizing those listings laying all the pretty bolts together on the work bench and creating new curated listings that take full advantage of our remaining inventory.
Those listing went LIVE in our Etsy shop this morning, and we are celebrating with a TWO DAY FLASH SALE on all the 100% silk organza fabrics and kits.
CLICK HERE to go to the Fabric & Trim section of the Lee & Pearl Etsy shop to browse the new 100% silk sampler kits and by-the-yard listings, ON SALE at 10% off for two days ONLY (Mon & Tues)
Here's our new OVER THE RAINBOW by the yard color grouping, which boasts a glorious spectrum of vividly-colored silks.
Here's our SPRING GARDEN by the yard color grouping, which features silks in the colors of flowers, sunshine, cool air and green, growing shoots.
And here's our AUTUMN FOREST by the yard color grouping, with silks in the shimmering shades of every glowing autumn leaf!
Interested in these lovely fabrics, but feeling a little intimidated by the words "silk" and "organza"?
There's no need to be! 100% silk organza is a light, crisp and sturdy translucent fabric that barely unravels, cuts and pins with ordinary tools, runs through the sewing machine like a dream, steams gently into billowing folds or presses absolutely flat like paper.
It really is as easy to work with as quilting cotton.
Silk organza makes beautiful doll clothes, and it's also an amazing craft fabric. Maybe you'd like to make some Korean pojagi patchwork hangings for your windows or silk flowers, or beadwork, or embroidery, or any number of other wonderful crafts?
Everyone should get the chance to try sewing and crafting with beautiful silk organza, and with our CURATED SAMPLER KITS, everyone can.
Along with the by the yard listings shown above, we are offering our 100% silk organzas in curated sampler kits, with five, color-coordinated 1/2 yard pieces in each kit perfect for making heirloom doll clothes and crafting!
