Bank Holiday Discount
Welcome to the Bank Holiday weekend. We hope that you have some lovely times planned with family and friends, or if you are having a quieter time then plenty of sewing to keep you busy and smiling. This week, rather than just using stock photos, we are including some photos of the shop to give those further afield a little taster of what our shop looks like. We hope that you are inspired by, and enjoy the peep into our everyday world of loveliness!

The 10% off runs from Midnight Friday 25th August to midnight Tuesday 29th August. Click on the code at the online checkout or tell us at the till the code AUG2023.

Welcome to our humble little tardis of deliciousness! From an unassuming outside, inside it is stuffed full with a wide range of beautiful quality fabrics, threads and patterns. We all make samples for the shop to offer even more inspiration to anyone who comes to visit. What a wonderful job we have to get to work somewhere where we are surrounded daily by such beautiful things.

We have a large selection of batik fabrics online and even more in the shop. Batiks are made using a wax resist technique. The design is made using the wax and the fabric is dyed rather than printed so the design is on both sides of the fabric rather than printed onto one side only. The cloth is a more finely woven cotton and is beautiful for dressmaking as well as quilt making. You can watch a video here of the process of making batik.
|
|
Batiks are so variable that they come in bright and vibrant as well as softer muted shades. They would be ideal for the Crazy Pieced Heart by Michelle and several of the Love From Beth projects like Stone Roses, Cassini Quilt and Hexa Scrappy quilt.

Both of these ranges are gentle floral designs that remind us of summery dresses we wore as young children. Although from different designers they coordinate really well. Perfect for a summery outfit or quilt. These summery fabrics would look beautiful used in the quilts by Judy Newman in Quilts For Life and Quilts for Life 2

The ranges from the Create Joy Project by artist and designer Laura Muir, are full of vibrancy and fun and do indeed create joy. Flowers, butterflies, blender water colours and some embellished with copper and gold metallic prints.

World reknowned for his bold use of colour and pattern, Kaffe Fassett fabrics always lift the spirits. With the 10% discount this weekend it might be the perfect time to invest in a Kaffe fat 1/4 bundle or layer cake to make a simply stunning quilt. Kaffe has also written various books about his designs and projects. The problem is deciding on which project to start with.

Liberty are known world wide for their quality fabrics. We sell the Liberty Quilting cottons and love the Riviera range which is getting very low in stock. Sally used it to make her Sophie Bag . It would also look great used in the other June Tailor projects.
