What I'm wearing

The Named Kajo wrap Sweater and Dress Sewing Pattern has been super popular recently, so I decided to make my own festive party version! The Sequin Stretch Velour fabrics come in a lovely selection of colours and are so sparkly. As they stretch they are a great pairing for this this pattern. I picked the black colour-way and lined it with the black bamboo Jersey Fabric so it felt nice and soft on the inside.

Colourful Cottons

The crisp cottons from the Fableism collection have such gorgeous colours and textures - ideal for tops where you'd like the shape and structure to hold a bit more.

The cosy cotton flannels with their brushed surface feel lovely and would make great wintery PJ bottoms!

Embroidered Details

With detailed and textured embroidery detailing on these fabrics you can make lovely summery tops and blouses.

Lovely Liberty London Viscose Fabrics

These beautiful new Liberty London designs are all printed on 100% viscose base cloths, each with its own unique character. The satin weave offers a beautiful sheen and luxurious lustre, the twill brings a slightly heavier weight with an elegant drape, and the plain weave delivers a soft, smooth feel with a subtle matte finish. Together, they showcase Liberty’s iconic designs on fabrics that flow, shine, and move beautifully - ideal for swishy tops, blouses, dresses and skirts!

Cosy Colourful Stretch Fabrics

What a pretty colourful selection of fun jersey and knitted fabrics for a range of projects from t-shirt and sweaters to jersey dresses and kids clothes!

I hope you have found this lovely selection of fabrics inspiring and are all set and ready for some cosy sewing for the upcoming cooler months!
