After a couple of weeks of muted fabrics, we thought we'd brighten up everyone's day today with some beautiful bright and colourful designs for our new fabric Friday!

2  Another thermal knit, this time with beautiful butterflies and hearts.

3  A new designer overstock floral Ponte De Roma. Pink and yellow roses with green leaves on a blue floral background.

We are also now selling our beautiful and practical Tote bags for only £3.95!

The bags measure 37cm wide x 40cm deep, with  60cm straps, perfect for carrying all your sewing supplies, shopping etc.

Made from 100% woven cotton in a natural cream colour, with red heart design made up of sewing items & flowers.

Get yours HERE.

As a special offer we are giving away free bags to the first 10 orders over £50.  Simply place your order (£50 minimum spend) and put a note in your order comments saying "Bag Please" and we will let you know if you are one of the first 10 customers.

It's week 3 of our releases of the wonderful patterns from Named Clothing! 

Named is an independent clothing pattern label founded by Finnish sisters Saara and Laura Huhta. Named garments are a combination of Scandinavian clean-lined simplicity and interesting details. Named launches two main collections a year, and the patterns have five levels of difficulty, which means that anyone from a beginner to a more experienced sewer can find patterns suited to their skill level.

Today we have 10 beautiful patterns for you from the Fall Winter 2015 collection, 1 of which is a 2 in 1 pattern for double the sewing fun!  We will be adding more collections each Friday for the next 3 weeks.  Click on your favourite below and don't forget to check back each week to see the stunning new patterns being added (alongside gorgeous new fabrics!).

You can see all our other wonderful Indie Patterns HERE.
