About the Fabrics
What types of fabric do you offer? ▼
We offer a wide range of fabrics, including
cotton,
silk,
linen,
wool, and specialty textiles. Our selection caters to various styles and needs for dressmaking, quilting, and other creative projects.
How accurate are the colours of the fabrics in their pictures? ▼
The fabric colours represented in the photos may differ slightly from the actual product. All images are taken in natural light but their appearance on-screen can vary depending on the calibration of your computer monitor. If fabric colour is important, be sure to check with us before you purchase online.
Do you offer fabric samples? ▼
On most products yes, we understand the importance of feeling the fabric before purchasing. You can order fabric samples from our website to ensure the perfect match for your project. We do not offer samples on some of the fabrics we stock in smaller quantities. You are able to buy them in half metres though if this is of interest

Can I order custom-cut fabric?▼
We strive to accommodate your creative needs. Please contact our customer support for information on custom-cut fabric options and availability.
If I order fabric now will it be available in a few months time?▼
Our regular fabric lines are always available and kept in stock, however if a supplier discontinues a particular line we cannot guarantee that we will be able to supply the fabric for you and it may be taken off the website. We also cannot guarantee that the fabric would be from the same batch, so colour or texture may vary.
Our clearance or designer fabrics which come in limited quantities will only be available whilst stocks last.
Will my fabric be from one dye lot?▼
We only ever fulfil an order for fabric from one dye lot off the same roll. Please ensure you order enough to complete your project in one order as we cannot guarantee we will have the same dye lot on your second purchase.
Will my fabric come rolled or folded?▼
All of our fabrics will be sent folded unless you are ordering large quantities which may come supplied on a roll.
Are your fabrics pre-shrunk?▼
Unless otherwise stated you should assume that fabrics are not pre-shrunk and treat them prior to use accordingly.
Why have I been told my fabric is out of stock when it’s showing in stock on the website?▼
We know this can be frustrating but this can be due to a couple of reasons;
Daily Order Processing: As a mail-order business, we receive orders through various channels like post, telephone, and the internet every day. These orders are processed numerically, and our website is updated during the week to reflect stock levels. Unfortunately, this means that our website isn't able to monitor intraday stock levels, including over the weekends. We're aware that this can cause inconsistencies and are actively exploring ways to improve this system.
Quick Stock Fluctuations: Sometimes, certain fabrics come back into stock and then quickly go out of stock again. If we expect a fabric to be restocked soon, we might leave it marked as 'in stock' on the website, but there could be instances where it is bought out swiftly before being updated.
What happens if an item is out of stock?▼
If an item is out of stock, you can sign up for notifications on the product page, and we'll alert you when it becomes available again.
