Testimonials

Wonderful curated selection of quality fabrics in natural fibres and a stunning selection of prints. Also, absolutely lovely team running the shop. Grateful for the help of Kylie and Clare with my sewing project. 🙏

Stacy

Amazing service! Probably the best fabric store online! I bought some fabric from their online store and they were kind enough to answer any questions I had and even send me a video of the fabric in motion before purchasing! They were very helpful and I can’t speak highly enough of them and their service! They also had a great range of unique fabrics! Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
