We've ordered the whole collection (11 fabrics) and they're not going to be available until April or May. The pattern will be available for free as a download from the manufacturer's site but they probably won't have the directions available until about the same time the fabric comes out.
We'll have the fabrics up on our site in a week or two (with pricing info available then as well). Judging from the response here - everybody seems to love these! - I would guess that they will be quite popular and so I'd recommend that if you're interested that you pre-order them.
Pre-ordering means we reserve the fabric for you but your credit card does not get charged until the fabric comes in. It's very helpful for me, as a buyer, when customers do pre-order as then I can be sure to order enough to meet the demand.
Behind-the-scenes info: the fabric manufacturers, when they show a new line of fabrics, usually take orders for a few months and then print enough of each design to cover the orders they have taken, plus a little bit extra. Sometimes they will reprint a few designs from the line, and sometimes it's a one-shot-deal. This way their cash flow is really good, especially if they have all the fabric sold by the time they receive the goods from the mills. But it makes it really hard on shops, as we can't always re-order the fabrics.
