It may be boiling hot in the warehouse today, but cutting all your colourful orders is certainly brightening our day! ☀️🌈

Our gorgeous Prism Gingham Organic Cotton keeps appearing on the cutting table, and we can see exactly why — how can you look at this fabric and not feel happy?! Bright, joyful and bursting with colour — it’s pure happiness in fabric form! 😊🌈

It's a joyful twist on a timeless gingham check — a beautifully woven kaleidoscope of jewel-like rainbow tones that will make even the simplest sewing pattern feel something special. 💜🩵❤️💚

Made in India from 100% Organic Cotton, this lightweight 105 GSM yarn-dyed gingham is perfect for breezy summer sewing — think floaty dresses, tiered skirts, easy shirts, shorts, co-ords and relaxed trousers. ☀️

It isn’t just for summer though. Take it straight into autumn with boots, denim, leather jackets and cosy knits. We love how those rich reds, berry tones, blues and greens suddenly take on a completely different mood when layered up for cooler days. 🍁🍂

And that's what makes this fabric such a wardrobe winner — bright and fresh for summer, rich and colourful for autumn. ☀️➡️🍂

With each check measuring approximately 2cm, the scale is wonderfully wearable and gives you so many possibilities for playing with pattern placement, gathering, tiers and matching separates. 🪡🧵✂️

What would you make with Prism Gingham — a summer dress, colourful separates, or something you could layer right through autumn? Let us know in the comments. 👇

💙 🤍🩵 When fabric becomes part of your story…

There’s something incredibly special about making your own clothes. Not simply choosing the style, fit and fabric, but creating a garment that can hold memories, celebrate our roots and tell a story that is uniquely ours.

We absolutely loved seeing this beautiful make by Rosa Luparia • SEWING in our Periwinkle Heirloom Silk Mix Sandwashed Soft Satin Twill — and even more so when we read the story behind it. 🥰

For her, the fabric spoke to her immediately.

In her own words:

“Today, I walk these streets wearing a dress I made with my own hands. A dress inspired by the deep blue patterns of my hometown’s traditional ceramics, by a beauty that had always been here, even when I couldn’t see it. Our roots aren’t just the places we come from. They are the stories, lessons and threads we collect along the way, becoming part of who we are.
My story with sewing also began in my hometown, where as a child I was taught to cross stitch by my Grandmother, and she made beautiful clothes for me. Today, I continue to sew my own stories and without even realising it, I’m still sewing with a little piece of her.” 💙🤍🩵

And really, isn’t that one of the most beautiful things about sewing? ✂️🧵
A handmade garment can become so much more than something we wear. It can connect us to people, places and moments in our lives. The fabric we choose can remind us of home; the skills we use can be those passed down through generations; and every stitch can carry a little of our own story with it. 🪡

Periwinkle Heirloom is an exquisite, soft and floaty silk blend crafted from 65% Silk and 35% ECOVERO™ Rayon. With it's impressionistic, painterly blooms flowing across the fabric in tones of Periwinkle, Lavender, Cobalt Blue, Aqua, Slate Grey, Bronze and Warm Ivory, it really is stunning.

Thank you so much Rosa for sharing your gorgeous dress with us, as well as the beautiful story stitched into it. 💙
