Maybe it doesn’t matter, who knows but why not have a go at making this summer dress and let us know what you think. This is made from our Mustique chiffon fabric which we have in 2 colours but just in case you don’t like it we have other fabrics that will do the job, they are new and if you don’t like using chiffon then you may prefer a crepe de chine or lightweight satin. There is limited stock of most.

You won’t get any better quality than these Japanese, German and Portuguese cotton suiting cloths, perfect for chinos, if you have the skills, a blazer and quite frankly just for anything that you need a beautiful quality cotton for.

Thu, 23 May 2013 12:37:00 GMT http://www.croftmill.co.uk/news/2013/may/fun-waterproof-ripstop-fabrics.html 73224 If you want strong fun and colourful waterproof fabrics then these PVC coated ripstop fabrics maybe right for you. They are lightweight and although they are not as malleable as a rubber coated fabric they are still soft. Ripstop means that when you look at the fabric close up you will see a cross hatch in the weave. This is to make it strong and tear resistant. During weaving, thicker reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals creating the cross hatch pattern. These ripstop fabrics will be excellent for a fabulous awning or bags or a cover for a something you keep outside, furniture a boat. You could make aprons, cushions jackets too.

These cotton poplin fabrics are a lovely quality, not too light or too heavy and are very popular amongst crafters and dressmakers because they are so versatile. We have opted for brighter colours that co-ordinate with our cotton prints and under each print you will see recommended products to help you match a plain if you need to accessorise.....

So much so, that we have had a bit of a jersey buying bonanza. Cottons ones, polyester jerseys, viscose jerseys, with, without lycra, plains, patterns, designer, kids, it is all here plus a You Tube video and tutorial of how to make an Infinity Dress - perfect for jersey fabrics. Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:21:00 GMT http://www.croftmill.co.uk/news/2013/march/waterproof-fabrics.html 205 Will it never end? Are we just in the wrong clothing? Here in Lancashire it is sodden underfoot which is frustrating with little ones especially toddlers who have a habit of falling over. We have some waterproof fabrics which are easy to sew, perfect for making up into dungarees and if that sounds a bit too much for the novice sewer, try making them into a pair of trousers with an elasticated waist, some of these fabrics can manage without being hemmed if you really wanted express sewing. Hey presto, the kids keep dry, clothes protected and most importantly - no tears! Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:49:00 GMT http://www.croftmill.co.uk/news/2013/march/stunning-tana-quality-lawns.html 8212 Let me be clear, these are not Libery Tana lawns but the cloth is the same. They are manufactured in the same mill and printed in the same mill. This is stunning quality lawn fabric and you will not be disappointed. The patterns are pretty too. Fri, 1 Mar 2013 20:44:00 GMT http://www.croftmill.co.uk/news/2013/march/a-rare-and-beautiful-thing-highland.html 211 Well to us anyway and certainly at this price. Highland tweed in an array of muted autumnal colours, mainly browns, greens and black with an additional white whisp to the finish. It has a beautiful hand and is a jacket/skirt weight rather than suiting. We have around 40mtrs of it. It’s fabulous. Don't ask us how we get this, we just do and this is a snip as the new 60" wide highland tweeds can set you back £78 p/m. Fri, 1 Mar 2013 19:28:00 GMT
