Wool and silk have been a big part of Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics since the very beginning! We began sourcing designer silk and wool for the shop in the 1980s, and we’re proud to continue bringing these amazing, high-quality fabrics to our community of sewists. Here are a few new arrivals to check out:
Lady McElroy is one of our most beloved fabric lines, one that has truly become a staple of the Stonemountain & Daughter experience. Visit the Berkeley shop and you’ll find Lady McElroy fabrics in nearly every corner of the store! We import these high-quality fabrics directly from England, we delight in incorporating them into our own wardrobes, and we love to see all the beautiful garments and accessories that sewists make with them!
While Lady McElroy is best known for their unique, contemporary fashion prints, being able to pair a memorable print with a quality solid is key. With that in mind, we’ve expanded our collection over the past few years by adding Lady McElroy solids like linens, cotton twills, and knits. Is there a perfect Lady McElroy fabric for every occasion? We think so! Today we’ve gathered a selection of beautiful and bold Lady McElroy fabrics to inspire your sewing in the seasons ahead.
Wool challis is lightweight, warm, and cozy with a beautiful, airy drape—it’s a fabric that is at its very best in dresses and blouses designed with a bit of motion. While love this fabric for the Nicks Dress & Blouse, the Regalia Blouse, and the Indigo Top & Dress, it’s also going to be a beautiful and comfortable choice for a simple woven pullover like the Donny Shirt.
Creating your own custom wool coat is a big project, but it’s so worth it! Choose your favorite wool coating from our collection and pair it with a pattern like the Nova Coat, The Sanda, or the Canton Moto Jacket for a skill-building project you’ll wear proudly for years to come!
Our silk collection is dynamic—most of it comes directly from garment manufacturers around the world, so our stock is continually changing and always full of great finds! We have some amazing silk in stock right now, from silk jersey for a Grafton Top to silk crepe de chine for an airy Ogden Cami, to silk charmeuse for a luxurious pillowcase.
