I am lucky enough to be with a group of other awesome peeps (you know who you are!) So if you're looking to make your own, I have early access, but I think you can pre-order for the fall if you want to make your own Edgar the Raven on epic-ness๐ (They also sell digital patterns if you want to use your - which I think is a pretty cool accessibility option๐ - which is actually what I did because they're in the states and shipping over the border is slow - though I ordered new fabric anyway...because...fabric!!โค๏ธ๐ค And I really need more fabric...really.
For my Canadian peeps i got my Kona in a few different places and recommend (who was really fast, great pricing, will cut down to .25.and has all the Kona you can dream of - and had a really nice vibe - yes that's something I care about๐) and (who I LOVE and is local - far away local but feels local, I love them and Kate will help you match colours ect she has quite a bit of Kona and has incredible other stuff too- my recently posted tote fabric came from her too๐คโค๏ธ
That's it have a great weekend! Oh and...are you a
Fan like me??
