Alexander Henry Fabric, Loteria Print, Out of Print , But We Can Change That!!

Hi There Alexander Henry fans, and Loteria print fans!

I am going to start to get together a massive order for the Loteria fabric design from Alexander Henry. For those who love this fabric and make stuff out of it, this will be a chance for us to tell them, "Hey! We love this fabric and we want it reprinted!!!" There are two colorways that I want to have them reprint. The Black background and the White Background(Natural).

Currently, this fabric is out of print. That means that at this time it is not avaliable, because the printed run of these lovely loteria cards has sold out. I know this fabric is a VERY popular one! I sold this fabric like CRAZY when I had it in my fabric shop.

I have to get together an order of over 1000 yards of each design(2000 total). I figured, it's about 134 bolts of 15 yards.

If you are interested in buying a bolt, or more, let me know, I will be starting up a list of interested buyers.

Come to the Ruby Room on May 16th & Get in on Some "Sketchy" Action!

You do not want to miss this one! What could be better than spending an afternoon drawing live models? Drawing live models at a cocktail lounge, of course! This Saturday, May 16th, Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School will be happening at the Ruby Room in Hillcrest from 3 - 6 pm. You bring your sketch pad, drawing supplies, and some cash for libations from the bar, and Dr. Sketchy provides the models! Each month the good doctor brings burlesque dancers, belly dancers, and now - roller girls! This month will feature members of San Diego Roller Derby in their derby best and some other fun costumes. What kind of costumes? That's a secret. You'll have to check it out and see! Who exactly is Dr. Sketchy? Dr. Sketchy’s is the little Brooklyn event that became a movement. It was founded in 2005 by artist Molly Crabapple, Dr. Sketchy’s asked a simple question. Why can’t drawing people be sexy? From its humble Brooklyn beginnings, Dr. Sketchy’s now has 70+ branches around the globe, including Hollywood, London, Tokyo, Rome, and Melbourne. Since it’s successful launch during Comic Con 2007, Dr. Sketchy’s San Diego branch has been going strong each month. It's great fun and you can even win a prize for your drawing! This month there will be prizes donated by your own Craft Mafia and the SDRD. You have to draw to win! We want to see you there!
