Fabric





I love it.
I'd like to have an entire room full of it.
I'd go sit and stare at it when I got stressed.
Or just rub my face in it.






Meet Mercy of Fabric Solutions:

Tell us a little about yourself:
My name is Mercy and I live in Tampa, Florida. I was born in Kenya and grew up in a culturally rich African background. I have a deep love for my family and friends and I treasure every time I spend with them. I am engaged to my wonderful fiancĂ© Richard and planning to get married sometime later this year. I am also currently working towards my graduate degree in MBA with a concentration in Entrepreneurship at the Huizenga School of Business & Entrepreneurship. I work at home sewing, embroidering and creating beautiful things with fabric. My studio is one of my best places to be because it’s very relaxing and the only place I can express myself through art & crafts. When am not designing, sewing or studying, I love cooking, music, movies, traveling, the mountains, the ocean and playing tennis.

How long have you had your Etsy shop and why did you decide to sell fabric and sewing supplies?
My favorite material to use is fabric. I love seeing all the different colors, and patterns that amazing designers come up with every season. I started my Etsy Store in July 2009. Initially my goal was to get rid of my fabric stash that I had not used for a while. As I was sorting through my collection I was reminded of how much passion I have for beautiful fabric. After making a few sales and receiving good feedback from my buyers and realizing how excited they were after receiving their fabric, I decided to expand my store to offer beautiful designer fabrics to all of the amazing talent on Etsy. I love when my buyers send me pictures of their finished products using fabric that they bought from my store. This inspires me and is the reason why I want to continue doing this. I am constantly researching for more designer fabric every time and for ideas on how to improve and expand my store. My goal is to be able to offer a more wider range of sewing supplies available for my customers.

Fabric Solutions offers such gorgeous fabric and patterns as well:

  29. I am quite the fabric collector myself, and these are gorgeous prints! I'd love to make some napkins for my store out of these lovely calicos!

    My favorite print is by Studio E - Ornaments in Green and Square Stripe in Blue from the Holiday Magic Collection http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41526380

    I wouldn't want it to have a holiday connotation to it as I don't observe Christmas; but I think the colors and patterns can stand on their own at any time of year.
