Hey Hannah here! In this blog post, I'm sharing all of the latest summery fabrics and ideas for what types of garments to make with them. It is a great way for you to see the fabrics close up and get a feel for how they move and drape - it's a also a great way to shop for fabric online if you are too far afield to visit our shop in person!
Sevenberry Cotton Linen Fabric
This rich in texture Sevenberry is 80% Cotton and 20% Linen. Perfect for crafty makes, home furnishings and me-made accessories such as the Luskentyre!
Our collection features a beautiful array of patterns, ensuring there's something to suit every taste! From timeless stripes to vibrant polka dots and floral motifs, there's plenty of inspiration to play with. These colour-rich designs offer exciting opportunities for colour-blocking, while the patterns themselves make pattern-matching a breeze.
Drapey Floral Viscose
Viscose is renowned for its softness and silky smooth texture. Their lightweight nature allows them to effortlessly float and drape, creating a stunning aesthetic when fashioned into garments. Ideal for creating elegant dresses or flowing skirts.
Their drape lends itself perfectly to garments with gathers or fullness, as they sway beautifully. Whether it's a billowy skirt or a gathered bodice, these fabrics enhance the overall look by draping and swishing gracefully, adding a touch of refinement to any outfit.
