I don’t know about you, but I needed to spruce up my summer wardrobe! I hate those days when you stare into your closet and feel like everything is old and tired. Summer is the perfect season to whip out some seriously cute and seriously easy pieces to make your closet a little more appealing.
We are having so much fun around here receiving beautiful fabric, planning spring classes (and summer too) and working on projects for both Sewing Society and Patchwork Society. I wanted to share a few quick pics and let you know that we will be closed Sunday, to spend a little time with our friends and… Read more »
This weekend (November 30th-December 3rd), Modern Domestic is offering the walking foot on sale for only $149. ONE-FOURTY-NINE you say? This foot is truly priceless.

Erica and I are IN LOVE with Sewaholic’s Minoru jacket pattern. So in love, in fact, that we have made 8 jackets between the two of us! The pattern provides the perfect raincoat for our Oregon winters, a super sweet vintage wool coat or the ideal lightweight windbreaker.
We are adding new classes almost every week this time of year! From quilting to garment sewing, classes perfect for beginners and those that already sew! There is always something perfect for your skill level and interests on the schedule at MD!
We can’t wait! This Wednesday from 6-8pm we will celebrate local fabulousness Colette Patterns with Sarai herself and loads of her beautiful samples as well as a great pattern sale!
Please join us Wednesday, September 19th from 6-8pm for a lovely evening of all things Colette! We love a reason to throw a party, and the release of two new much anticipated patterns from a lovely local pattern making star is a simply fantastic one!
I loved getting fresh school supplies in preparation for the new school year–fresh pencils, a new Trapper Keeper, different colored notebooks. As your kiddos get ready to go back to school, don’t forget you can too! Fall classes are posted on our website and are a great place to start building skills, making friends, and… Read more »
It has been a chilly summer here in PDX. Except for yesterday! Finally the temps are climbing, and with it brings the urge for perfect summer clothing. Complete with comfort, style, and ease. Luckily, I have been eyeballing the Wiksten Tank for some time, since last summer I think. And after our little trip out… Read more »
