Isabel: by oneself 8pool is now no longer a trend - it is a movement and a way of life! So I do not

That's the beauty of Berlin: There is so much choice of fabric and creative shops that every now and again discovered the proverbial needle in a haystack: a very special shop with a unique range, lovingly custom-made furniture, passionate staff and a cozy atmosphere. Such a wonderful place is the fabric store "Mrs. Tulip" in the trendy district of Berlin-Mitte.
Isabel: In October 2004, the owner Tania Gehrmann has opened the doors of its first own shop, and two years later came the online store and since 2009 there is also a woman Tulip shops in Hamburg, Tania's girlfriend Dagmar leads. At Tania's side (whose nickname 8pool in childhood Tania tulip was) there is also a Mr Tulip: her husband René the store has owed his tailor-made and unique facility ... The rest Tulip Berlin team consists of 12 girls, many of us have fashion design studied or completed a tailoring training, but there are also colleagues 8pool who have continued to develop their sewing skills in their spare time and my profession. One we all have in common; the absolute passion for beautiful fabrics! And working of material news from around the world at the source, of course, is the greatest inspiration that can be imagined as a passionate seamstress.
Isabel: 8pool The concept of the store was aimed from the start at the DIY route. Today, 8pool the DIY movement is a fixed instance of the creative scene, but 10 years ago it was something different - the trend towards manual work slowly made his a way back into the living room, but in special materials to come from other countries, proved to be quite complicated. In Mrs tulip, there was from the beginning special and fancy fabrics for example from Asia. Many of the fabrics come from Japan and the U.S., some are 'Made in Germany' and a few danes are also there. Almost all of these fabrics are 100% cotton, and linen-cotton blends are also always in stock. In addition to the many different qualities of the individual tissue types (of fickle summer fabrics to sturdy bag materials) there is also a large selection of multi-colored jerseys. These can be found at Mrs. Tulip not only the right fabric, but also a wide range of sewing accessories. For bags, there is webbing in different widths and colors with matching metal buckles and fasteners. For blouses 8pool and dresses, there are many special buttons for example, from mother of pearl. Convenient for all kinds of costumes and disguises our Felt range is available in two thicknesses and many bright colors. And of course we also have bands: Bias tape, Bobble bands, zigzag ribbons, cords and so on ... Since the decision often is not easy, we are of course always welcome advice and give you free fabric swatches to take home.
Isabel: We Collections successful designers such as the Swede Lotta Jansdotter or the blogger Ellen Luckett Baker. We also bring out every year a women's 8pool Tulip fabric collection. Our fabrics are great for patchwork projects because they fit together so harmoniously. For the Patchworker and quilters but we also have great sets of MODA. With Jelly Rolls and Charm Packs to great effects can erzielen.Unsere Fat Quarter can be used in many ways: as doll clothes or stuffed animals, for applications, while patching and other small sewing ideas. We are particularly pleased at the time about the magical Organic substances of American brand Cloud9, which have reached us recently. But there are also teddy fleece and terry in a wonderfully-soft organic cotton quality.
Isabel: In addition to our regular customers from the neighborhood we have also frequently well-traveled guests, which connect the city trip with a visit to our shops. I always find it incredibly interesting how people come and what they want to make from the materials - so there are often great conversations and funny stories.
Isabel: by oneself 8pool is now no longer a trend - it is a movement and a way of life! So I do not believe that in the future the handiwork could lose popularity. Who once "Do-I-homemade" feel the proud feeling of who wants to make more and more.
