What I’m Sewing This Week~ Raspberry Creek 2026 Swim Line!
This week I’ve been finishing up my Raspberry Creek Fabrics swim knit strike-offs. Due to the blizzard we had my fabric was sitting in a few regional post offices and got to me pretty late. I’ll be finishing them all up over the weekend and then getting photos. It’s been pouring rain the last 2 days with heavy rain and thunderstorms for Friday and Saturday, so I’m hoping to get modeled photos of them on Monday. Below is a sneak peak of the Love Notions Constellation that is all ready for photos along with the 2 other fabrics I am sewing up.
The Swim knits and board short fabrics are $1 off per yard through Monday, 3/9/26. They can be purchased by the half yard. All the collections are just soooo good this year! Be sure to visit the Raspberry Creek Fabrics Facebook page to see all the amazing fabrics sewn up! I’m adding more and more to my own “want/need” list!
You can find the new Swim and boardshort fabrics HERE.
Scroll to the end of this blog post to see the new swim collection.
Remember~ swim fabrics aren’t just for swimsuits!!!

Pattern Links~
NOTE: These are affiliate links. It costs you nothing to purchase from these links but they do give me credit for your purchase and provide me with a small commission. This helps fund my fabric addiction which allows me to continue to test and review more patterns
To receive an additional 10% off LN pattern prices, use my code 10MACSEWS. This coupon code can be used on any purchase as along as the order total is $8 or more. This means that you can no longer get my 10% off one $6 Feature Friday pattern by itself. Since this change has been made I would truly appreciate it if you used my affiliate links above to purchase the Feature Friday patterns so that I will get “credit” for the sale. (I do receive a small commission). To take more advantage of the $6 FF sale, I suggest adding another pattern or a children’s pattern to your order so you may use the 10% off code
