The Great British Sewing Bee- Week 3

How many Flo-Jo fabric's did you spot this week?
We counted a few! As well as, some colour variations of our stock.

It was great to see them working with the old machines and using old curtains to create a garment. I now want to go home and watch The Sound of Music.

The vintage dress made in the rose floral can be bought in the shop for £6.50 per metre.

We also have the Liberty print used by Ryan in the pink colourway for £24 per metre.

We have some beautiful bold prints that would look stunning as a full bodied dress, ready for spring/summer 2015. Prices from £14 per metre.

Our tana lawn, voile and viscose fabrics would work perfectly for a sheer blouse with delicate detail.

Pop in to see what could inspire you to start sewing this week!
I want to make a 50's inspired dress out of the flamingo fabric, what about you?

Happy weekend!

The sun is shining and I've not had to put a million layers on today! (I left the house in just a jumper and denim jacket), therefore I'm hoping...spring is in the air?! Even if the sunshine isn't here to stay, we have some lovely new fabrics and ideas to brighten up everyone's weekend!

These 4 beautiful, bright, Birch fabrics are all 100% organic cotton and part of their Serengeti collection. All £20 per metre. We also have Mibo's paper animal decoration kits (£7) and animal tea towel kits (£11) too.

Why not come and take a walk on the wild side (of Gloucester Road) and see what animals might come out to play?
