Have you enjoyed reading about our team as much as I have?! We're so lucky to get to work with such incredible people. A HUGE thank you to our current team for sharing their creativity and talent with us.
Being part of the RCF Strike and Promo team has been an amazing experience in so many ways! Each new CLUB release has been a joyful source of inspiration and creativity. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into the cohesive collections and how they always coordinate perfectly with the solids and basics. I love that the designs celebrate not only our favorite seasons and holidays, but also these important values ā family, education, patriotism, kindness, gratitude and a good sense of humor! I even enjoyed several fun āfirstsā working with the wide range of fabrics RCF offers ā including swim and minky. Congratulations to RCF for the exciting launch of Designer Studios and the 30k milestone ā Iām so thankful to be a small part of your big adventure!

Hey everyone! My name is Emily, I sew for my four kids (Sofia, Lucia, Millie, and Banksy)! Raspberry Creek is extra special to me because it was the first fabric that I ever purchased! I have truly enjoyed growing friendships through the team, improving my photography, and being inspired by other sewist! RCF has such a great community, Iāve truly enjoyed my time on the promo team.
I have been a fan of Raspberry Creek Fabrics since my sewing adventures began in 2015. It has been a joy to be on the promo team for this awesome company! I have gotten to share a few blog posts with some sewing tips I have learned along the way on adding pockets to a skirt and taking pictures of your finished projects. One of my favorite things about RCF is the supportive online community both on Facebook and Instagram. It is exciting to share projects with others and I love gaining inspiration as well! Here are a few of my favorite RCF makes from the last few months. Thanks for inspiring me everyday!!
I really enjoyed being on the RCF team for the past term! Everyone was friendly and understanding if I needed more time getting samples made. I already fell in love with RCFs quality before joining the team and being on the team only extended that. I canāt really pick a favorite project as there were so many. Specifically I really enjoyed being able to sew prints from the swim line. The swim is simply amazing and so easy to work with. This was truly a pleasant experience and an amazing team!
The best way to describe my experience as a RCF Promo team member(and previously a Strike-Off Sewist), is to say that itās like being part of one big happy family! Imagine being part of a whole family that bonds over awesome fabrics! I have absolutely loved being part of the RCF family!
My favorite part of being in this special family?? Sneak peeks of the upcoming releases! It always gave me a bit of extra time to start planning what I āneededā to buy! It also gave me a way to hide my fabric buying obsession from my husband(but seriously~ he is well aware of my problem). A box of fabric arrives~ and I would casually say āoh goody new promo fabric!ā
I have really enjoyed participating in the Swim Tours and my makes for them are definitely among my favorite makes of all time.(And the most worn!)

I started sewing with knits almost 6 years ago and I randomly found Raspberry Creek Fabrics and thought I'd give them a try. I was brand new to the knit world of fabrics so I didn't know much about quality. I was so happy about the quality (back when RCF was screen printing a few fabrics). Their fabric quality and design quality have only gotten better and better in the last 6 years!
I feel so lucky to be part of the team this term to help promote their darling and cozy fabrics. Most of my kid's wardrobes and a big portion of mine are made by me, much of it with raspberry creek fabrics! My kids are hard on clothing and they last so long! My 1 year old is wearing clothes I made for my now 6.5 year old and they are still in amazing condition. I have recently been enamored by rib knits and I was so excited when RCF introduced printing on rib! I was pretty proud to be able to sew their own swimsuits this year. And I sewed all their outfits for family pictures!
Today's the day! If you've ever wanted to join the RCF team head to our Facebook Group for our team application that will be open through Sunday July 17th. We switch our teams up twice a year so your next chance won't be until January! For more of what to expect as a team member read on:
I started sewing when I had my first daughter back in 2018, after being a boy mom for so many years I was excited to make all things girl! Back then I thought I had to get all my fabric at the fabric stores until a friend introduced me to Raspberry Creek Fabrics. The quality, selection of prints and fabric bases and affordability kept me coming back all these years later. Itās been such an amazing experience getting to work with the RCF team and I am honored to have gotten the opportunity!
This year was my first time working with the RCF team as a promo member and I have to say that it was one of the BEST experiences I have had! As a self-taught sewist, being on a promotion team seems to be one of the coveted titles in this community, whether it is for fabric or sewing patterns. That being so, I actively looked for opportunities to work with different companies. So being invited onto the RCF team, I already had quite a bit of experience with testing/promotion teams, and from my personal experience, RCF is one of my top companies to promo for.
The RCF team is SO organized. The team leads communicate clearly and they also offer additional opportunities for those who are willing to put in some extra work. I really appreciate the kindness, organization and open communication that RCF has provided. The way they operate really brings positivity to the teams that they put together and it shows because everyone is always excited to work. If I ever have the opportunity to work with them again, I wouldnāt think TWICE. Thank you so much RCF!
My first trip to Raspberry Creek Fabrics was right after they got their first printer. Diana took us back to see and I was amazed and hooked! It has only gotten better since then with so many more fabric bases added - including my favorites which are swim and rayon challis. One of my favorite parts about being on the RCF team (besides the fact that itās like a family) is finding prints that I normally wouldnāt be drawn to and falling in love with them! Sometimes I donāt get the prints I originally thought Iād want, but get something even better! My mind is always going a million miles an hour trying to decide what each piece of fabric wants to be! It would be impossible to pick a favorite, but here are a couple!
I bought my first sewing machine in 2017 after never having any interest in sewing. Shortly after I made my first knit fabric purchase from Raspberry Creek and Iāve been hooked ever since! 95% of my apparel fabric is RCF, so if that doesnāt explain my love for RCF Iām not sure what else will!
The list of reasons I love RCF is long; the variety of prints, the colors of the collections, the affordable prices, the online community, the customer care, the fast shipping time. Letās not forget about the stripes. I love a good stripe and RCF has amazing stripes! As a mom of three, with a son and daughters itās so nice to be able to find prints that all of my kids love. The variety itself within each collection makes it so easy to make coordinating outfits.
Never in a million years did I ever think I would be a part of the Raspberry Creek strike-off team but here I am. It has been so much fun! Itās like being in the best club ever! You instantly get a fabric family and everyone is just as excited as you. Iāve loved getting an early sneak peek of the new prints. Every new collection has been amazing but I think I had the most fun with the swim!
Hi. My name is Lei and I have 2 daughters, Aerith (5) and Kyrie (1). My family lives in Michigan. If I am not working in a hospital as a nurse, I enjoy sewing dresses for my kids and taking pictures of them, gardening and traveling. I have always been afraid of sewing knits until I discovered Raspberry Creek Fabrics. Through the years, I have sewed my daughters' their outfits and has created a lot of memories and RCF has been part of that. I would scroll through my pictures and looking at my kids in their pretty dresses make my heart smile. Being part of the RCF sewing community has been fun. I love the inspiration that I get from member's posts. I am amazed with the talent and creativity. I was thrilled when I became a strike sewist for RCF. It was exciting to see all the fabrics in the new collection and mark my favorites. It was fun mix and matching fabrics and seeing my vision come to life. It is definitely one of the highlights in my sewing journey.
I have loved the wonderful in-person and online friends I have made through being a part of the RCF team. The group is like having built-in cheerleaders. My confidence in myself and my skills have grown.
If you would have asked me several years ago what I was most scared to sew, it would have been swimwear. I have gained so much advice and tips from the RCF team that swimwear is now my favorite thing to sew for my kids. It is so much fun to customize swim to their size and personalities. How many swimsuits are too many for one kid?
A little under 6 years ago I began my sewing journey with my daughter and found RCF shortly after. I used their fabric to create some one of a kind pieces for my daughter and have loved every second of it. Fast forward 3 years and I have two boys. I love that I can get whatever fabric Iām looking for at RCF, whether itās for my girl or my boys. Such a great variety of prints and fabric bases, youāre sure to find something you love! I have followed along the journey of RCF and it has been an absolute dream to be on their strike team. I have grown both in my sewing and creativity because of it and that is something I am so thankful for. Beautiful people and an amazing community, nothing is better! Thank you for your amazing designs and keeping my kids stylish!
