Cotton Fabrics for Versatility
Cotton remains one of the most popular choices for dressmaking and craft and with good reason. Breathable, comfortable and easy to sew, it is a fabric that rewards makers at every level. The real question is which cotton because the differences matter. Crisp poplin for shirts and dresses, delicate lawn for blouses and lingerie, seersucker for summer, sateen for a subtle sheen, chambray, voile, double gauze, broderie anglaise and more. Our collection covers the full range in both prints and plains, ideal for everything from dresses and shirts to quilting projects.
Jersey and Stretch Materials
For garments that require flexibility and comfort, jersey and stretch fabrics are hard to beat. Our range covers t-shirt weight jersey, sweatshirt fleece and swimwear jersey alongside stretch fabrics made from cotton, bamboo, viscose and more. Whether you need something lightweight and breathable or substantial and warm, there is a jersey for the job. Perfect for tops, loungewear and children's clothing, these materials provide movement without losing shape.
Linen and Summer Woven Fabrics
For warm weather making, few fabrics rival linen and summer-weight wovens for their natural texture and relaxed feel. We stock beautiful pure linens, Irish linen and natural seeded linens alongside a range of linen prints, giving you genuine choice whether you are making tailored summer garments or something more relaxed. For those who want more drape and a softer handle, our linen blends mixed with cotton or viscose offer the character of linen with more forgiving qualities. Viscose is also popular for summer garments thanks to its lightweight feel and fluid drape. Our experienced team can guide you through fabric weight, drape and suitability so you find the right material for your pattern and skill level.
Curtain Fabrics by the Metre
When making curtains or blinds, precision matters and buying curtain fabric by the metre allows you to calculate accurately and reduce waste. Our curtain fabric collection is chosen for style, durability and performance and includes stock from respected interiors suppliers including Morris & Co and GP & J Baker. Alongside fabric we also stock curtain tracks, poles, tapes, Roman blind hardware and the trims and accessories required for handmade window treatments. If you would prefer a finished result without doing the sewing, our bespoke made-to-measure curtains and Roman blinds are handcrafted by our skilled team in local workrooms.
Upholstery Fabrics for Longevity
Reupholstering chairs, stools or cushions requires fabric that can withstand everyday use while still looking beautiful. Our upholstery fabrics are selected for durability as well as appearance and our range suits both traditional furniture and modern interiors. We also stock upholstery supplies, custom foam cutting and cushion pads so you can source everything needed for your project in one visit. Seeing fabric in person allows you to properly assess texture, weight and colour which is essential for interior projects.
Threads Needles and Fastenings
From quality threads and sewing machine needles to zips, buttons and fastenings, you will find the essential details that help ensure a professional finish.
Patterns and Practical Accessories
We also stock sewing patterns and practical tools to support dressmakers at every level. Having everything available in one place saves time and helps you move from inspiration to completion smoothly.
