Customer Reviews
Omg just beautiful, I'm a bit of a fabric hoarder and when I received my order I just wanted to order another 5mtrs of each, just in case!! Beautiful soft, lightweight cotton, just right for a blouse which is on its way and looking gorgeous 😍 omg and the price is just unbelievable, you don't get much for £6 these days!!!
The cotton fabric feels like it is a beautiful quality cotton. I aim to make a halter neck tea dress design. The real answer is when I wash the fabric. If it washes and irons well. If all goes well to plan it will be well worth the order.
Never used this company before but all the materials I viewed look really nice and, I liked the prices. Material arrived and I was very pleased with the design and quality. I washed it first but no shrinkage. So here is the finished article.
Simplicity pattern S9262. Decided to make the short sleeved one but added another inch.
