Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of dressmaking fabrics are available?

You’ll find a thoughtfully curated range of dressmaking fabrics, including everyday cottons, corduroy, viscose and denim, alongside more special pieces such as silk and satin. With a beautiful mix of colours, prints and textures, it’s easy to find the perfect fabric for simple, wearable makes or more eye-catching statement pieces.

How are the fabrics sold?

Most dressmaking fabrics are sold by the metre, with prices clearly shown on each product page to help you plan and budget. When ordering online, fabrics are sold in full-metre increments, but if you give us a call we’re happy to help with custom lengths where possible.

Can I order a fabric sample?

Yes - we offer fabric samples so you can see and feel the fabric before committing to a larger order. Simply click the little yellow Add a Little Sample button on any fabric product page and we’ll pop one in the post for you.

How do I choose the right fabric for my project?

Start by thinking about what you’d like to make and how you want the finished piece to look and feel. Lighter, drapey fabrics are ideal for dresses, tops and relaxed garments, while sturdier options such as cotton canvas or corduroy suit jackets, skirts and more structured styles. Each product page includes helpful information on weight, composition and suggested uses, and our filters make it easy to narrow things down and find the right fabric for your project.

Are these fabrics suitable for beginners?

Yes, many of them are. Cotton, chambray, and some jerseys are especially beginner-friendly and forgiving to sew with. If you’re newer to dressmaking, these fabrics are a great way to build confidence before moving on to trickier or more delicate materials.

Can I use these fabrics with sewing patterns and kits?

Absolutely. These fabrics are ideal for dressmaking patterns and can also be paired with kits if you’d like to customise a project or try something new. To achieve the best results, we recommend checking the fabric’s weight against your pattern guidelines.

Are these fabrics good for special or statement garments?

Yes, there are plenty of fabrics here that are perfect for standout makes. From bold prints and rich colours to beautiful textures, you’ll find fabrics that work just as well for everyday wear as they do for occasion outfits or one-of-a-kind handmade pieces.
