Buying fabrics

Swatches

We do our best to get accurate images of all of our fabrics, but due to varying monitor screens colours and photography images may differ slightly to the original fabric.

We would suggest getting a swatch of fabrics you're interested in purchasing to get a really good idea of colour, texture and drape. This is especially important as we cannot offer refunds on cut fabrics.

Accounting for Shrinkage

Fabrics often shrink when washed so please take that into account when you decide how much you need to order. Fabrics can often shrink between 5 and 10 percent but it varies from fabric to fabric and some fabrics can shrink more.

Stretch

For fabrics with stretch a % will be given for crossways (selvage to selvage) and lengthways (along the selvage). If the fabric is 4 way stretch it will be noted.
