Riley Blake Designs - Classic Sewing

Written By Melissa Lester

A star in the sewing industry, Cindy Cloward, along with her talented designers and staff, has brought Riley Blake Designs to the forefront of contemporary children’s fashion with vivid prints that offer a modern take on classic sensibilities. With an array of fabrics already available—ranging from cottons, knits, and flannels to airy double gauzes and medium-weight cotton ducks—the company introduces dozens of lines annually that are suitable for a variety of quilting, apparel, and décor projects.

Living in New York and pursuing other careers, Cindy and her husband, Bret, did not expect their paths to come full circle. Bret’s parents owned several Family Fabric stores in Utah, where he worked from elementary school through college. During his courtship with Cindy, one of their dates was actually doing inventory. Later, when they married, all of the dresses for the bridal party, including her wedding gown, were cut from the shop’s cloth.
