We photograph almost all of our fabrics and products ourselves and take great care to represent their colours as accurately as possible.
However, colours may appear slightly different in real life due to lighting, photography and variations in individual screen and monitor settings. For this reason, we cannot guarantee an exact colour match.
We kindly ask that you keep this in mind before placing your order. If an exact shade is essential to your project, or you're unsure about a colour shown in our photographs, we recommend contacting us before purchasing.
Please note that slight colour variations between our photographs and the actual product are not considered faults and are not, on their own, grounds for a refund.

Sewing Notes
Prewashing: We recommend prewashing your fabric before cutting to allow for any shrinkage.
Needle: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle, size 80/12 or 90/14, depending on how your machine handles the fabric.
Thread: A good-quality polyester sewing thread works well. Maraflex stretch thread is another option when sewing with a regular machine.
Stitch: Use a narrow zigzag or suitable stretch stitch to allow the seams to move with the fabric.
Overlocker: A four-thread overlock stitch is ideal for constructing garments. Adjust the differential feed if necessary to prevent wavy seams.
Cutting: Use sharp dressmaking scissors or a rotary cutter. Keep the fabric relaxed and avoid stretching it while cutting.
Stabilising: Use clear elastic or suitable stabilising tape in shoulder seams to help prevent stretching.
Pressing: Press gently from the reverse using a pressing cloth. Avoid applying heavy pressure directly onto the raised floral design.
Hemming: A twin needle or stretch stitch works well. Test on a scrap first to ensure a neat finish.
Our tip: The raised floral design is the real feature of this fabric, so simple garment shapes work beautifully. Take a little extra time when cutting to consider the placement of the larger flowers, particularly across the front of your garment.
