Pre-order fabric is fabric that is specifically ordered by you, with the chosen design, on the chosen fabric base in the chosen print scale. It is not held in stock, and will require a 8-10week manufacturing and processing time (from the end of the preorder round).

Retail fabric is fabric that I have in stock, that is already printed to a set measurement. It is not able to be customised, however will be shipped within 3 business days of your order.

1. View pre-order designs here
2. Scroll through available designs and click on the design you like.
3. In the 1st drop-down box, choose which fabric base you would like (eg. cotton twill, cotton lycra, athletic knit)
4. In the second drop-down box, choose which print scale you would like (eg. mini, midi or mega)
5. In the quantity section, choose how many meters of fabric you would like (please note: 1 = 50cm of fabric, so if you need 2m, you will need a quantity of 4)
6. Press add to cart
7. Repeat for as many designs as you like

The turn around time on preorder fabric is approximately 8-10weeks.

We run 2 pre-order cycles per month, the first is from the 1st-15th of the month and the second is from 16th-last day of the month.

Sometimes there are changes in the pre-order timelines, which will be updated through socials and email newsletters.

Additionally you can Track your Order through our manual updates here.

For the most part, yes.

In very rare cases, there will be a printing fault in the fabric which will result in my manufacturer cutting off the fault and reprinting the rest.

So in some cases, your fabric could arrive in two parts. If this is a problem, please get in touch.

Yes, I do. You can order any of our 21 fabric bases in your desired print.

There is nothing like being able to touch and feel fabric, to see if you like it or not. You can purchase a sample pack of either our full selection of bases, the staples base pack, the extra's base pack or 1 base at a time.

Each design is available to be printed in three different scales: mini, midi or mega.

Mini is printed on a 10x10cm scale
Midi is printed on a 25x25cm scale
Mega is printed on a 50x50cm scale.

On each prints product photos, you can see the scales in relation to a 30cm ruler.

This allows all sewists to have the right scale for all their sewing needs.

Please ensure you double (and then triple!) check your orders before purchasing.

We have a 30-day returns policy on change of mind purchases. In this case you will receive a store credit once the fabric has been returned at the cost of the buyer, and inspected for any damages. If there is any damage to the fabric, no store credit will be given.

The printing of custom designed fabric is quite a complex process so you may come across a fault occasionally. Our fabrics are checked multiple times throughout the process, but the odd fault may get missed. Please check your orders thoroughly when they arrive. You have 30 days from the date of delivery to you to report any fault in your fabric. If you do receive fabric that has a fault, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss your options.

Alternatively, if you are no longer wanting to use the fabric you have purchased, you can post a destash ad on our private FB community.

Yes, we do offer wholesaling to a select number of businesses.
