Do You Sell Samples

Yes! We always recommend ordering samples so you can check the colour and weight of a fabric, therefore you can be sure it is the right one for your project.

You can order samples of any fabric through the website, just click the ‘Sample’ option on the product page. 

There is a charge of £1.50 to cover postage. However, if you require more than one sample then drop us a message and we can add upto 4 additional samples in the same package at no extra charge. 

Samples are pre-cut to approximately 10cm x 5cm. If you feel you need something larger you are able to order 0.5M of any cloth.

How is your fabric sold

Our fabrics are cut from the roll and sold by the metre.

The minimum you can order online is 0.5 metres. In store this is 0.25 metres.

Any fabric order over 1 metre is sent as one continuous piece. If for some reason we cannot offer this we will contact you directly via email to discuss the options.

Should I pre-wash my fabric

We do recommend pre-washing your fabric to allow for any shrinkage before you proceed to making your garment.

  • Allow 10% shrinkage for all fabrics to be on the safe side

Are all your fabrics available on your website

Due to a lot of our fabrics being deadstock, and therefore limited quantities, we cannot always guarantee these will be added online.

However, if you did see something on a visit to our shop then contact us and if the fabric is still in stock we can make a bespoke order for you.

Are your fabrics repeatable

Many fabrics from our English suppliers will often be repeated.

However, our Vintage and Deadstock fabrics would understandably not be re-stocked.
