Gift Certificate Ideas for the Dressmaker: Emma One Sock
Since gift certificates are an easy thing to give now when many of us can’t get out much in 2020, I am offering up some of my favorite places to buy fabrics online this week. Just in case you need a holiday gift for a dressmaker. The name Emma On Sock sounds like an orphan from a children’s book, but the website makes clear what you will find here: “Designer Fashion Fabrics.”
I give you here some recent offerings: a wool blend knit from Italy in warm spice tones and a blue paisley print in a silk-viscose blend satin. Especially helpful on the website are the “possible coordinates” pictures alongside each fabric to show what fabrics match in color. This makes it much easier to think about creating an ensemble with print blouse and solid trousers, or a light-weight dress with heavier jacket, etc. You can order 5 swatches free of charge if you are on the fence about a fabric.
The website carries a wide range of staples, including solid-colored silks, interfacings, linings, and the like. You can get on the mailing list and see the new fabrics posted.
