If you'd prefer to have Rosie walk you through out new additions, head to the YouTube video where you can see videos of the fabric up close too.

Let's create the most stunning summer outfits together!

Liberty Fabric

Autumn/Winter 2024 Collection. Don’t despair, summer isn't over, this collection is still bold and colourful to take you through summer to autumn and back again! All on the beautifully crisp, cool and drapey Tana Lawn fabric.

The gathers of the Taimi Dress and Top provides the perfect shape for the drape of the beautiful Tana Lawn. We recommend any Tana Lawn for this pattern but these expressive and colourful designs would look just stunning with this style.

These bold designs are a fantastic way to add a pop of colour to your handmade wardrobe. The elegant shapes of the Ogden Cami and the Evelyn Skirt make for a perfect coordinated outfit, but they also shine as standout pieces. The super soft fabric on either of these pattern would showcase the stunning Liberty designs beautifully.

The Wren Blouse has a lovely scoop neck and cute puff sleeves, perfect for showing off those adorable Liberty details we all love.

The Fringe Dress is a big favourite here at G&G. It’s the little details in this pattern that really bring out the charm of any fabric you choose. With its flattering shape and subtle accents, it’s a great way to make your handmade wardrobe a bit more special. Both the Wren Blouse and Fringe Dress turn beautiful fabric into something truly amazing.

Cotton lawn

We have a beautiful selection of cotton lawns, Pretty Poppies in July's newest addition and we are in LOVE!

The Sorrel Dress is perfect for capturing the vintage vibes of the pretty poppies! It would look absolutely adorable as this open-collar swing dress with gorgeous vintage details.

For a touch of luxury in your loungewear, pair the Fran Pyjamas with a cotton lawn. The vibrant red poppies and the cool, breathable cotton lawn make for the perfect treat.

Linen blends

Ideal for any summer project. Create yourself a summer garment that you'll wear year after year.

The Shepherd Skirt is such a classic and timeless shape and paired with a cool breathable linen blend means you'll have your most perfect summer skirt every summer. If you like the idea of this but prefer a trouser the Block Pant would be ideal for this too!

Viscose

You can't go wrong with a viscose, you dressmaking inspiration from this fabric really is endless.

The Esti, currently featured in our window display, has been a hit this summer! You can style it as a co-ord or create individual pieces for a versatile capsule wardrobe. Paired with viscose, it's a must-have for your holiday outfits! We also adore the Jenna – it's perfect as an oversized, flowing shirt for warm evenings or casual outings.
