Graceful Threads is a home-based business committed to providing families with custom made modest clothing at a reasonable cost. We also enjoy creating small quilts, bags and home accessories. We trust that you will find our clothing to be well made and suitable to the needs of your family. Our garments include simple, classic and contemporary designs which have been drawn from a variety of sources. Beyond our own designs, a handful of companies have permitted us to use their patterns, allowing us to continue offering new items on a monthly basis. Most of these companies are also home businesses and we appreciate being able to support their endeavors.

On our fabric page you will find traditional calicos as well as bold, fun prints. Don't be afraid to mix and match with coordinating colors for unique, one of a kind outfits. We carry only high quality fabrics and welcome your suggestions for new fabric combinations. Our garments are carefully sewn and edges are finished. Please enjoy browsing and e-mail or call us with any questions. Processing time is dependent on the number of orders we are working on, but rush orders are possible. Our current processing time can be found beside this text on the left. To order please use our secure shopping cart or print out an order form and send payment by check or credit card. For those who need an order sent immediately, please check out the ready-made store and girl's collections page for garments ready to ship.

We do not pre-wash our fabric. Please allow for approximately 1 inch shrinkage per yard on our 100% cotton fabrics. Please measure carefully and let us know if you have questions after looking at the size charts. Almost all disappointments can be avoided by ordering the right size.

We recommend washing our cottons in cool or warm water. Delicate cycle is recommended by the manufacturers but in our house, they are usually washed on regular cycle. Hang to dry or tumble dry low. We do not recommend hanging any of our clothing in direct, harsh sunlight. Quilting cottons and yarn dyed cottons may begin to fade. Please see Fabric Page for instructions on washing our Linen Blends.

Guarantee:
If you are unhappy with any of your items, please give us a call or send an e-mail so that we can work something out. Because our clothing is carefully custom-made specifically for you and inspected prior to shipping, we do not take returns except in very special circumstances. Please measure carefully before ordering and don't be shy about e-mailing with questions. Customers are responsible for measuring and ordering the correct size. If you need to return an item for alterations, please contact us so that we can discuss your needs. We try very hard to satisfy our customers and will return your e-mail the same day whenever possible.

Cancellations and Changes:

If you need to cancel an order or change something in an existing order, please let us know as soon as possible. We totally understand that sometimes you will change your mind on a fabric, a size or a garment. Once your order has been processed and work begun, we are unable to cancel an order or refund your items. We are often able to accommodate alterations or small changes as long as the garment has not yet been cut. Just send us an e-mail and we will get back to you right away. Thanks for your understanding.
