I've admired Moop handbags for a while now, and I've been jealous of the fantastic fabric that she buys to make her bags. She is moving her family and business to Pittsburgh and is selling off some of her fabric in an Etsy shop called Five Yards. This is something to jump on if you are looking for excellent mid or heavy weight fabrics, there is even some organic orange duck.
She's also having a seconds sale over at Supermarket, and I agree with everything she says here about handmade items and sales.

Modern Seamster is a new quarterly magazine that "fills the needs for a smarter, fresher, and more innovative sewing magazine" and brings together domestic sewing and fashion design. The first issue is available to download for free as a PDF. I'm enamored. The first issue is filled with familiar things from Seattle, an interview with the Seattle Craft Mafia and story about R.E. Load Baggage, and San Francisco, a tour of Britex Fabrics (including a picture of the only employee who was kind to me there, looking sharp as ever on the ladder). The magazine is well balanced with articles about high design, music culture, an advice column and sewing practice. So far it's love. via Pink of Perfection.
