Seaweed and Bamboo add Luxury Feel to Every Day Fabrics
Sea-Tiva 75% cotton 25% SeaCell
Seaweed (algae) is the active ingre-
dient that is rich in trace elements.,
thus mineral, and vitamins A, C, & E
are released from the fiber in a humid environment onto the skin. Giving this fabric antiaging properties.
Another green fabric from Robert
Kaufman is Panda. This is a lovely
blend of cotton and bamboo and is
available in poplin and corduroy.

The Clear 1/4 inch Quilting
Foot with right guide is
great for joining pieces of fabric as it gives clear visibility
when sewing 1/4 seams. The
red lines on the presser foot
mark 1/4 inch pivot points in
front of and behind the needle.
