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

Camelot Fabrics – Star Wars

A collection of fabrics inspired by the eighth installment in the Star Wars franchise, The Last Jedi. The film follows Rey as she trains with Luke Skywalker in the hope of defeating Kylo Ren, and her attempt to lead him away from the dark side. We also see Carrie Fisher reprise her role as Leia post-humously.

The craft cottons in this range are perfect for any Star Wars fan, featuring Kylo Ren, Stormtroopers, Captain Phasma, and Rey. How about making a rather terrific tablet cover for the Star Wars geek in your household (or for yourself, which is even better!)

This clever little device wallet can be made with 2 x 1/2 yards from any of the fabrics in this collection. See what takes your fancy here.

New Powertex Workshops!!

Another super Powertex class today. We had a group of complete beginners who have created some beautiful pieces and gone home totally inspired. Lots of the gang created steampunk pieces and have incorporated some great little details using old watch parts and recycled keys. Powertex is a fantastic way to recycle all those knick knacks you no longer have a use for. We also have some more beautiful ethereal samples made with butterflies and bows. As you can see the pieces are all totally individual and have been coloured according to all the individual tastes of the artists. Even better Powertex is totally weather proof so these pieces can be used to embellish a garden fence or exterior wall.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the work this talented bunch do at home and inspiring them again at one of the up and coming Powertex courses here at Tudor Rose. We’ve got three amazing new Powertex workshops coming up where you can try your hand at making a seated figure, a standing figure, and a fantastic fairy which would make a lovely summer addition to your garden.

Find the details and booking for the seated and standing figures here. Booking for the Fantastic Fairy isn’t open yet, but watch this space!!
