Haberman Fabrics Holiday Gift Demonstrations - Reusable Totebag

From November 19 through December 19th, Haberman Fabrics is hosting a weekly How-To Demonstration on quick and easy-to-make holiday gifts!

Our demos will take place on SATURDAYS at 1:00 pm, and then again on MONDAYS at 7:00 pm. Come visit us and learn how to make these simple and delightful gifts, and enter to win a $20 dollar gift card at the demo! Each demo weekend we will be having specials on fabrics to help you in making these gifts too.

Each week is a different gift demonstration - so watch for our emails with the next project announcement! If you're not on our mailing list, it's really easy to join, just visit our site: www.habermanfabrics.com!

This week's demo is the Reusable Totebag.

These simple to make bags are great for adding that personal touch this holiday season. You can tie the bags with a festive bow to use as packaging when gift giving and not only does this make it unique, the bag can be reused for groceries, crafts, books, and more.

Join us this Saturday or Monday and learn how to make one yourself!

Kate's Elegant Wedding Dress is Here!

 
Watching the recent Royal Wedding with great interest, we finally got to see the gown created by designer Sarah Burton, from the house of Alexander McQueen.

Naturally, at Haberman Fabrics, we were so excited and inspired by Catherine Middleton's (now known as the Duchess of Cambridge) wedding gown that we simply had to make our own!

Patty Weir, our Bridal Manager, designed and created a dress inspired by Sarah Burton's beautiful handiwork. Using Vogue Pattern 2979 as a base with a bit of altering, and beautiful silk satins and fine French laces from our Bridal Salon, Patty was able to create this amazing gown:

The dress is currently displayed in the front of our Bridal Salon. If you stop by our store, you can view the dress in person. We just love it, and think you will too!

FREE DIY Seminar in November

Feeling like your chairs are a little drab? Perhaps they're starting to show some wear and aging. An easy and relatively inexpensive way to bring life back into your old chairs is to give them a new seat cover.

Not sure how to do it? Well, stop by our store on November 4th or 6th to come and view a FREE Do-It-Yourself demonstration on how to re-cover a chair seat.

We are also featuring a special 20% OFF Foam and Batting on each of the demo days to help you out with your own project! The offer is only applicable on November 4th and 6th, with in-store merchandise only.

New Seminar Available - Party Dresses Without Breaking the Bank

On Thursday, November 11th, Haberman Fabrics is featuring a one-time seminar: "Party Dresses Without Breaking the Bank". This two hour seminar will show you how to take a regular dress and transform it into one of several elegant and gorgeous party dresses.

Annie Diaz will show you how adding items such as yokes, bodices, godets, collars and cuffs, cropped jackets, tunics, sashes and more can take a dress from drab to fabulous!

Cost of the seminar is only $25.00. No sewing supplies needed - it will be a demonstration of techniques.

Haberman Fabrics at the American Sewing Expo in Novi

This past weekend Haberman Fabrics participated at the American Sewing Expo that took place at the Rock Financial Center in Novi, Michigan! The Expo educated, inspired, and entertained thousands of sewers with shopping, classes, fashion shows, contests, and exhibits.

At the Expo, we featured a miniature version of our store in Royal Oak, bringing as many unique, stylish, and designer fabrics as we could fit in the space provided. Needless to say, our booth was packed.

This didn't stop our customers though! Sewers from near and far packed the booth, delighted to find inspiration, great fabrics and values for their new projects.
