My New Favourite

I have a new favourite fabric line! With so many new collections arriving in store, a girl has a right to change her mind!

Dill Blossom designed by SEI for Robert Kaufman fabrics is 50s botanical in style, and the colours are just brilliant. The turquoise and reds are quite understated and toned down, to create that retro modern feel.

Vintage lovers will adore this new range.

Alexander Henry Fashion For Home

We have been eagerly awaiting these gorgeous home decor fabric by Alexander Henry. Our home decor range in store is looking a little depleted, so we were very excited when these arrived. Now to find a new home for them! Our store has recently been updated and I have already filled all the new shelves with lovely new fabrics - we seem to be outgrowing our little store.

Good news for our vintage fabric customers, we are soon opening another room at the back of the store filled with vintage goodness. We have bolts and bolts of original vintage textiles, and these will be available for viewing soon.
