Athena's Grove Trim Website Has A New Look
We are thrilled to announce that our fabric trim web store has
been updated!
There is a whole new look
that's mobile friendly and much easier to navigate. The search bar is so much
easier to use so you can locate the fabric trims you're looking for much more
easily.
Our long-awaited, and much
requested, customer picture gallery is now posted on there, as well as a
glossary of fabric trim terms that we will be updating regularly. We have other
pages of information we plan to add as well and will be letting you know about
those as soon as they become available.
Don't worry, nothing about our
customer service has changed...we still want you to know how much we treasure
having you as part of our creative community. Please feel free to let us know
if there is anything we can do to make your shopping and designing journey
better.
We can't wait to share more with you and see you at the newly
renovated shop!

New Fabric Trim Style In The Store @ Athena's Grove
Now and again, we like to add brand new fabric trim
styles to our stock here at Athena's Grove. We seek out styles from the whole world that we believe will help our fashionable clients grow
their business. Then, we offer them at the fairest prices almost anywhere on
the market. That's just part of our mission to beautify the world, one yard at a
time.
Many of you have asked us for more black and gold fabric trims so here you go!
"Manuscript Fleur" is a new addition to the fabulous embellishments Athena's Grove proudly presents to fashion designers, interior designers, theater and movie costumers, DIYers, crafters and home sewing enthusiasts. Nothing is more fun for us than the delight on the face of our clients when they see their finished projects with our trims on them.
How many times have you been shopping for trim, either online or in person, and you just can't tell if the fabric trim you're looking at is going to match the fabric you've got at home? Never fear! We can send you samples free of charge (up to 10). Just go to our contact page on the store and let us know the styles and colors of fabric trims that you would like. Include your address and we'll send them as soon as possible. PROBLEM SOLVED!
"Manuscript Fleur" reminds us of the kinds of flower details you would see around the edged of a medieval or renaissance illuminated manuscript. They are so intricate and lovely, and this trim can add that same element of elegance and whimsy to your projects.
At 1-5/16 inch this style is great for borders around throw pillows, going around necklines on historical fashions like T-tunics and bliauts, hems of jeans or curtains or anything you want to dress up a bit. We find it best to use a thread that matches the trim as closely as possible and then zig zig stitch over the edge of the trim so it encloses and encapsulates the edge of the trim, preventing it from curling or crinkling if you choose to wash it (most of our fabric trims can be laundered, but as with all textile products, we urge you to test a small piece before you commit it to your final project!)
Another of our favorite pieces of advice is to buy enough extra fabric and trimmings to make matching accessories, like a pouch. You always need a place to keep knick knacks while you're walking around without having to carry them all in your hands or a bulky bag that may not go with your ensemble (assuming it's clothing).
