We're so excited to be able to offer our new Perfect Pattern Fit Workshop Series.  

You will learn to create a perfect and personal fit for a bodice, sleeves, and skirt. By the end of the 4 classes, you will have created your own personal sloper on card stock to take home and use to get that perfect fit on future patterns. Your sewn garments will work for your unique shape and features. 

For those of us who don't fit standardized measurements (which may include everyone?) this could be a game changer in your garment sewing.
Timing - Thurs April 25 6:00 - 9:00 x 4 wks
Teacher - Kristiann Boos, founder and designer of Victory Sewing Patterns

This pretty group arrived from Makower UK. Whiskers is for all of the cat lovers out there who also like cute fabric (you know who you are). The collection includes a very cute panel that will lend itself to some fun fussy cutting!

Use the panel for fussy cut principle blocks then use the other prints to piece fun shapes, frames or log cabins around the "hero" cats. Save the stripe for your frisky binding!

We're all quite smitten here with this awesome brightly coloured PVC vinyl. If you're thinking about a project bag, or maybe a super fun hooded cape for your little one, why not a rain hat that is also a safety beacon?

Definitely consider one of our four available colours. 

We have 1/2 metre cuts of the whole latest collection from Echino (Etsuko Furuya), perfect for bag making, aprons, table top, and lots of other small projects. 

Don't miss out, we have limited quantities.

We've had lots of new arrivals including Cotton Oxford (top image), cotton/linen blends and some fantastic yard dyed Dobby. 

We also got these pretty cotton/linen prints

And these yarn dyed cotton dobbies

See all of our excellent Japanese fabric here. 

To and Fro by Rashida Coleman-Hale arrived in the shop. There are so many fun fussy cutting opportunities with this fabric. We also loved the colour palette and Rashida's amazing spare design.

These fun gals, will give you lots of ideas for projects, but my favourite is a large travel pouch for all your hair things, brushes, combs, elastics, etc. Each print will give you many more ideas. 

This exciting collection of strong prints is the latest from Libs Elliott. I am smitten with this earthy palette and I always love how Libs mixes hard and soft, line and curbe, and graphic with organic. It's her contrasts that make this mix of prints really stand out. They'd make a stunning Orbiter quilt.

We have yardage and bundles. 

Are you dreaming of blue skies, summer breezes, and a little pretty plant life?  This might be the reminder you need that spring will come. 

Clara Jean have done it again with this lovely combination of florals and graphics in lovely water colour illustrations. See them all here. 

We have yardage and bundles. 

We got our first arrivals from Fableism, an excellent cotton woven fabric supplier. The checks, stripes and textures are a great weight for garment sewing with lots body and an ideal weight for creating layering pieces for cooler temperatures, or dresses/tops for warmer weather. 

Any of these would be really cute as a Metamorphic dress!
