New fabrics have arrived at Dress Fabrics!!
We have just received the first delivery of many to come over the coming months. So what new???
Denims:
A Spotty Stretch Denim to add to our Denim collection.
This Denim fabric is composed of 97% cotton with 3% lycra to give it that little bit of streth for your comfort. This would make a very cool pair of jeans such as the Ginger jeans or jeggings, or what about a denim shirt dress?? It would look great made up as a jacket or coat too.
This dark lightweight denim is suitable for capri trousers, light kids denim pants, dresses and skirts. Bonus – its a one off so its in the Special Offers section.

Or what about a skirt – a Collette Patterns Mabel skirt .

Thinking of sparkly party attire:
The Black Lace is a softly flowing lace with a little stretch in it. Line it with any colour of backing fabric to make a standout dress for this party season. The silver sparkly number would be more suitable for dress up party rather than grown up party!

Special Offers:
In our special offer section we have this gem – a geometric patterned sweatshirt fabric.Its a lighter weight than the french terry fabrics. Make a hoody for the kids or a Linden Sweatshirt for yourself.

Wools:
We have three wool fabrics in stock, all wool / polyester blends. This first one is a fine Italian Knitted fabric in fuchsia. This is a soft and warm fabric, try it as a long line or oversize cardigan. (Quicker than knitting).
These two Brown wools are coating weight boiled wools. They are soft and have a bit of give in the fabric. They will make a sturdy winter coat without all the weight of 100% wools.
Well Folks, That’s just a quick over view of the first delivery of fabrics – I hope you may be feeling inspired to your autumn crafting, stay tuned for the next installment coming soon.
