The key to successful colour blocking is choosing fabrics of a similar weight, ideally the same, so that your garment hangs evenly and seams sit smoothly. Mixing fabrics that are too different in weight can throw off the balance, making construction tricky and the final look less polished.

At Fabworks, we’re big believers in the power of colour, which is why we stock a wide range of palettes across many fabric types and weights. From lighter options perfect for spring and summer projects to cosy, heavier choices for autumn and winter, you’ll find endless possibilities to experiment with bold, creative combinations. Whether you’re planning tailored outerwear, statement dresses, or soft furnishings, there’s a colour story (and a fabric weight) to suit every season.
