The Water Meadow – Lewis & Irene @ Tudor Rose

A delightful follow up to their bestselling ‘Down by the River’ collection. This time with an Autumnal feel, featuring new friends such as the Water Vole, Dragonflys and a murmuration of Starlings.
The colours inspired by the special sunsets at that time of year over …The Water Meadow.

15% off until 26 March 2019

A beautiful scene of a river bank bordered by lovely plants and trees with the turret of an old manor/ church or castle in the distance behind the hills. Cranes fly across the scene with a small murmuration of birds above and a variety of riverside creatures spotted along the river’s edge.

Leaping rabbits, frogs and waddling ducks as well as otters floating off downstream create a natural idyll. Lily pads, iris flowers and other river loving plants are used to create the effect of the river.

Eye catching prints feature a detailed dragonfly repeat,
thousands of starlings all swooping and diving in unison, and
a brown hare with a sweet little cotton-like tail in various positions, intertwined with cotton plants in brown and white with silhouettes of leafy plants.

Kingfishers, cranes and dragonflies fly and land amongst the plants in the water.  The cobbled stones and faded bridge give the illusion of a vast river filled with an abundance of wildlife, including the sweet little water vole, sat with in the reeds whilst munching on them.

Fabric Freedom Florals

Fabric Freedom produce some amazingly good value fabrics. We’ve got several of their collections available on the website, but these florals are my favourite.

Oriental Florals

This craft cotton includes a wonderful fabric imprinted with large peacocks surrounded by various flowers using a range of greens, blues and neutrals, with some metallic gold to give the fabric a pinch of sparkle.  There is also a
a lovely uniform flower pattern using a range of greens, blues and neutrals, with some of the fans outlined in metallic gold, and a small flower pattern using a range of greens, blues and neutrals, with some of the flowers outlined in metallic gold.

Tropica

Inspired by the rich colours of tropical destinations, this fabric features pink flamingos hiding amongst tropical leaves in shades of green and blue,
beautiful peach/orange flowers adorned on a pale background with tropical leaves surrounding them, exotic flowers in red, purple and yellow adorned with turquoise green leaves on a background of warm yellow, and
tropical leaves in tones of green, blue, peach and cream along side small flowers in yellow and peach.

Woodland Florals

A unique collection including dark blue coloured fabric imprinted with flowers and leaves, pink coloured fabric with different coloured leaves,
blue coloured fabric imprinted with white leaves and an adorable
soft light green coloured fabric imprinted with leaves and hearts. Something a little more subtle for your Valentine’s Day gifts!

Heritage Floral

New to our website – the Fabric Freedom Heritage Floral collection. This orange and white blend has navy and orange floral sprigs on a white background in an almost zig-zaging pattern, pink seed heads and leaves on a vibrant orange background, and white leaves and flowers on a rich orange background. Just £7.60 per metre!

Any of these collections would work really well in a traditional herringbone quilt, contrasting with a white background. Try this easy free pattern from Micheal Ann Made http://www.michaelannmade.com/2014/01/summertime-herringbone-quilt-now-free.html

Great British Sewing Bee 2019

The Great British Sewing Bee is back on our screens for 2019! It will return on 12th February, with new presenter Joe Lycett stepping into Claudia Winkleman’s shoes. Take a look at the new trailer.

Did you spot the wiggle dress? Fancy joining in and making your own? You can find some amazing wiggle dress patterns online. Check out our Pinterest board for some fun patterns and fabrics – https://goo.gl/kaxpsK

These dresses work really well in Jersey fabrics, but if you’re a little less experienced, cotton is a really good starting point that is easy to work with.

If you really are inexperienced, but are inspired by the Great British Sewing Bee to have a go at some of the simpler projects and learn the basics, we have a GBSB inspired evening class coming up at the end of March. This class will really help you master your sewing machine and create some fabulous items with a variety of techniques. It’s only a small class size, so make sure to book in quickly!
