I am awfully behind with my work (we had a slight drama over the weekend when our boiler malfunctioned and kept tripping out the electricity!!), but would hate not to do my fabric update… so here’s a very-quickly-pulled-together collection of snippets that have caught my eye over the last week…
There’s 10% 0ff felt until Tuesday at Seamstar, and don’t forget their Flickr competition – you need to enter before Tuesday. The prize is £100 in vouchers for Seamstar.

Alice at Backstitch has put together some lucky dip scrap packs (oh how I love scrap packs!) – 100g of scraps for just £6. A bargain and surprise all in one..
***
There’s a clearance offer at Doughty’s on the Fabric Freedom All About Colour fabrics – these are available at £5.99 per metre. There’s some excellent blenders here at a great price.
***
The busy bees at Blooming Felt have been working hard at adding loads of functionality for customers to their website. This is the kind of stuff I love! So they have a new loyalty scheme earning 1 point for every £1 you spend – you can read more about the scheme just here. They also have a new Wish List facility which is really useful.

Fabric Rehab have a wonderful giveaway of Carolyn Gavin’s lovely new collection Soul Garden (see pic!). There are 15 (fifteen!) FQs up for grabs – if you leave a comment before Wednesday the 15th.

Meanwhile Lynne at Lily’s Quilts is giving away a most amazing prize – a Colourbox (that’s 100 Fat 8ths) of Oakshott shot cottons. Brilliant prize – I have everything crossed.. Meanwhile, check out what Lynne has been making with her shot cottons – isn’t it gorgeous?!

The Sewing Directory competition gives you a chance to win a bundle of Fat Quarters from the Sleeping Beauty collection by Nel Whatmore – you have until Tuesday 21st Feb to enter this one.

I’ll be back tomorrow with my own little giveaway of this uber-cool book.












Guides to buying felt, linen, haberdashery, Liberty Lawn & organic/fair trade fabrics.

I just wanted to say a big thank you from a starting-out designer-maker. Having spent many hours trawling the web tracking down fabric etc I find myself continually coming back to you as a reference point, particularly your big list of fabric shops and weekly sales (how easy is it to spend money on beautiful fabric!) Keep up the good work !!x
Oh, thank you so much. It’s really good to know that you find the posts helpful.
