We are getting so excited for Frocktails and it wouldn’t be possible without our sponsors. We are big fans of Style Maker Fabrics and Maker’s Hideaway and we know many of you love their fabric and retreats as well! We are so thankful for their generosity!!

Style Maker Fabrics is your online source for high-quality apparel fabrics in the fashion colors and trends you love. They are a small family-run business dedicated to providing today’s sewist fabrics, tools, and inspiration for creating handmade garments that match your unique style.

In late 2019, Style Maker Fabrics made an exciting expansion to include a retreat center, Makers Hideaway. With room for ten makers to eat, sleep, and create, we look forward to hosting many amazing groups of sewists and makers! Interested in planning your own stay? Get all the details on our sister website, makershideaway.com.

We have another great sponsor— Quality Sewing! Quality Sewing is your trusted family-owned destination dedicated to all things sewing & vacuum related. Explore new machines: From beginner-friendly models to advanced workhorses, we’ve got the sewing machine of your dreams!

Just like all of you, we love a great pair of scissors, so we are happy to announce that @kaiscissors is one of our presenting sponsors this year!! Thanks, KAI! ✂️

KAI is a Japanese based company celebrating over 100 years of business. The black handle KAI scissors and shears are made of fine stainless steel with vanadium. KAI sewing scissors and shears are hand polished and balanced allowing for fatigue-free cutting on all types of fabrics. Soft ergonomic handle grips and hardened stainless steel blades offer superior cutting action for quilting, crafting or dressmaking.

We are excited to announce that Core Fabrics is one of our generous sponsors this year!

Core Fabrics was born from the desire to source and supply beautiful, high-quality textiles that are kinder to the planet and people who produce them. As makers passionate about both craft and sustainability, we’re committed to providing our vibrant community of sewists with inspiring fabrics that are manufactured and distributed in environmentally and ethically responsible ways. This means that you can feel good not only about your beautiful handmade wardrobe, but also the resources you used to create it.

Seattle Frocktails is very excited to have local favorite Quality Sewing as an event sponsor this year!

Quality Sewing & Vacuum has been dedicated to sewing, crafting and vacuum needs since 1985. The sewing community is at the heart of their business which is why they offer a wide range of classes for sewing, quilting, embroidery, garment construction, home decor & more.

We have a very exciting opportunity to give back to the community by partnering with local non-profit Refugee Artisan Initiative.

The mission of the Refugee Artisan Initiative (RAI) is to transform the lives of refugee and immigrant women by providing sustainable work in sewing and handcrafting products.

We all know and love our Colette Patterns, but their evolution and creation of Seamwork provides a unique product to all sewists. Their aim is to encourage, teach, and be a resource to sewists who want to broaden their idea of sewing, using a three-ingredient approach. 

Makers’ Mercantile® is a community of crafters; comprised of those that crochet, knit, sew, embroider, weave, and felt- just to name a few! Head into the shop and you’ll find a colorful, cheerful environment filled with quality supplies and the expertise to turn your creative juices into reality.
