OoOo, yarn dyed stripes and bamboo elastane jersey! 💕🌸

I'm pretty sure these two aren't heading into the same garment, but I had to put them together because the soft pink in the 3mm Blush/7mm White Yarn Dyed Stripe picks up the pale pink tones in Vintage Flowers #6 Bamboo Elastane Jersey so nicely.

It's a good example of how looking at fabrics side by side can give you ideas for colour combinations you might not have considered before even if the pinks aren't matchy matchy.

There are currently 6 options in the Vintage Flowers collection, all printed on bamboo elastane jersey. It's beautifully soft to wear, has plenty of stretch and is a great choice for everyday garments.

And don't let the cooler weather put you off. With the right layers, bamboo elastane jersey can work throughout the year. Add a cardigan, jacket or warmer layer and you can keep wearing those softer, lighter fabrics well beyond summer.

Bundles are the best. Here's another one, this time in 100% Cotton Double Gauze 🤍

Basics and everyday fabrics can easily fly under the radar, but when I look at my own wardrobe, it's mostly made up of those very fabrics with a few prints mixed in.

That's why I love a good colour combination. You can take a simple everyday fabric and make it feel completely different by adding another colour. Colour blocking is also a great way to use up larger offcuts instead of letting them sit in the stash, and you can end up with a garment that's completely your own.

I'm not sure what this particular bundle will become, but there are plenty of good colours here to work with. Whatever gets made, I can already see it becoming one of those everyday pieces that gets worn again and again.

And really, isn't that what we want from the fabrics we sew with?

Fabric might be the star of the show, but thread does a lot of the heavy lifting. 🧵

I've just restocked a selection of Rasant sewing threads, including:

Pewter Grey
Light Khaki Green
Sunflower Yellow
Light Grey
Ivory
Black
Purple
White

One thing I love about Rasant is the huge colour range available. Rather than stocking every colour under the sun, I've chosen a collection that coordinates with the fabrics already in the shop to make colour matching a little easier.

Suitable for sewing machines and overlockers.

What thread colour do you find yourself reaching for most often?

I mustn't forget all the ribbing bundles that get carefully cut and packed around here too!

I get plenty of ribbing orders, but most are a couple of colours at a time. Still pretty, but when a mega stash builder like this one comes through, of course I'm taking a happy snap before it gets packed up 😂

The colour collection continues to grow at Wicked Fabrics. Some colours eventually disappear when they're discontinued, while new ones come in and take their place. It means there's always a bit of movement in the range.

Ribbing can easily fly under the radar when you're planning a sewing project, but once you've used a good quality ribbing, you'll understand why it's worth having in your stash.

Cuffs, neckbands, waistbands and all those little finishing details can make such a difference to a garment.

If you've been umming and ahhing about giving ribbing a go, maybe this is your sign to add a colour to your next project. You might find yourself coming back for more 😊

Posting a photo to brighten your feed, just in case you need it! 🌈

This gorgeous bundle of Cotton Elastane Fleecy was packed up last week, so I'm a little late getting around to sharing it, but I think you'll agree it's still worth sharing!

I love seeing colour combinations like this come through in orders. One of the things I enjoy about packing orders is that it's rare for any two to look exactly the same. Everyone has their own colour preferences and ideas for what they're making, so there is always something different landing on my cutting table.

This bundle is a particularly bright and fun one with plenty of colour to play with.

And as a bonus, tonight I actually have a rare night off from taking Miss A to training, which means I've had a chance to sit down and get a post up at this time of evening 😂

Which colour would you be grabbing first?

Cornflower Blue, Sage Green and Rose Pink in 100% Cotton Double Gauze. A trio that works beautifully together 💙💚🩷

I was filling a Double Gauze order and thought I'd stop for a quick photo before it was packed away. It's been a while since I've shared some Double Gauze, and seeing these colours side by side was a good reminder of just how lovely this fabric is.

Double Gauze has become a favourite for many sewists because it's comfortable to wear, has a beautiful texture, and works well across a wide range of projects. Whether you're sewing for little ones or yourself, these colours are easy to incorporate into a handmade wardrobe.

I try to mix up what I share here so you can see the different fabrics, notions and supplies available at Wicked Fabrics. Sometimes it's fabric, sometimes it's elastic, and sometimes it's a colour combination that deserves a little attention before it heads out the door.

Which of these three colours would make it into your shopping basket? 💙💚🩷
