Review: Gehman's Country Fabrics
Okay, I have a really big confession to make here... I'm a procrastinator. I always have great plans and it seems that I get so distracted, many of those great plans never happen.
I had promised a review of Gehman's Country Fabrics over 4 months ago and here I am, just finally doing it. Now granted, I have been quite backlogged on getting things posted on my blog and have a large file of stuff waiting to post, however, that is still not a good excuse. The real reason it hasn't gotten done is because they sent me this gorgeous fabric to make a skirt with, and, well, um... the skirt isn't done. Dare I tell it isn't even cut out? Yes, that's right folks. So anyone who still has some crazy visions of me being some "superwoman" can go up and knock me right down off of that pedastal you put me up on.
I'm not superwoman. Instead, the truth is that I'm really and truly a procrastinator. I kept saying I'd sew that skirt this week, or tomorrow. I kept moving it from my daily to-do list to the next day. I finally decided that the skirt would probably fit Kathrynne by the time I actually got it done, so I'd better just do the review, skirt or no skirt. So, here goes the review, with my great apologies to Gehman's and sincere thanks for your wonderful patience. If I ever do finish the skirt (which I'm sure I will now that I've embarrassed myself so much about it!), I'll post a picture!
I was incredibly impressed with Gehman's Country Fabrics, not only the fabric they sent, but the people themselves. Owned and operated in rural Pennsylvania, the Gehman family is committed to providing fabrics and more to women who desire to dress modestly. Their fabrics are very high quality and their customer service is above par.
Gehman's offers a wide variety of fabrics - from Tropical Breeze fabrics, to Country Rose fabrics, they are constantly adding to their stock (Take a peek here at their new fabrics for this month). They also offer custom-made cape dresses, modest slips, sewing notions, baby items, and more.
So, instead of being like me, don't procrastinate - visit their website today! You can also print their catalog right here, if you'd rather print and peruse their selections off-line

I can also testify to the quailty of service and goods from Gehman's! We especailly like their Tropical Breeze fabric. No-iron and no-fuss type of matieral! =)
Crystal,
Be encouraged. Right now, while your daughter is little you have SO MUCH to do that it is tough to add sewing to the list too! I don't have children and cannot find time to sew very much at all! Even though it is something I get much enjoyment from. If you could see how many unfinished projects and plans I have, you would not feel at all bad!
Blessings,
Trixie
I have enjoyed looking around on Gehman's website; however, I have e-mailed them before with specific questions about their fabric and I have not received a response. Perhaps it is because they are growing and don't have time to answer every e-mail. It was disappointing, nonetheless.
In response to MrsSM we are sorry you had this experience. It is our normal practice to answer most emails on a very prompt basis and we are not knowingly ignoring any. With that said, email is not always completely reliable and there are times it gets lost in a black hole or in a spam filter, things over which we have little or no control! We'd love to have you contact us again and we'll be glad to help you! We also would be happy to have you call us at 717-865-3575 to talk in person and ask your questions!
In most cases, we will respond within 24 hr. (many times much sooner) except on Sundays when we honor the Lord's day and do not conduct business.
Sincerely, Delmas Gehman
I just wanted to say that I ordered from Gehman's just recently twice and I am thrilled with the service and the quality of the fabric. Not only that the on the phone customer service was wonderful. I had many questions and they took a lot of time to answer them all. I highly recommend them. If you have questions just call. I called more than once and always got excellent service.
Blessings,
from a mom sewing for five girls and one son :-)
