A beautiful new collection of woven cottons from have arrived in the shop!
We’re always in awe of these fabrics, the designs being woven into the fabric makes them so special, and many of these are actually reversible- really showcasing the clever weaving process!
We’re in love with the mixture of lush blues, earthy clays, and candy pinks- these would be great for garments, homeware, or quilting- and we’ve actually made up some very special bundles from these as a little in-store exclusive ✨
