Just a quick post for you all today to introduce you to a newly launched online fabric store called Fabrics For Sale. I've been keen to spread the word about this new opening as I really like the look of the site and the products they are offering. The company operate out of a warehouse in Leicester, UK and offer a selection of fabrics for dressmaking and upholstery at very reasonable prices. I love that the company is operated by a team of young women who are passionate about fabric and about offering us home sewers with a more varied and unusual choice.
Their stock is sourced from all over the world and includes technologically forward and digitally printed designs alongside classics such as Liberty prints. I'm particularly drawn to their fairly substantial selection of viscose/rayon which I often find hard to get hold of in prints and colours I like here in the UK. These are a few of the many that have caught my eye and may soon be making their way into my shopping basket...

Along with a Sew N' Tell section on the site for customers to share images of their projects, they offer a fab 'Ask Anna' service for when you need a bit of extra guidance. I've always found choosing fabric online when you can't touch or test the drape of a sample to be a little tricky so I love the idea of there being a readily available human being there to advise on the suitably of your choice and best handling approach.
The good news for you guys is that Fabrics for Sale have kindly offered to give away one metre of fabric to one of you lovely lot!

This stunning rayon burnout is screaming to be used for the yoke of a little black dress or as the top layer of a fluffy 1950s style skirt.
Liberty AND shoes...need I say more??
This is a beautiful rayon print which I feel like I absolutely HAVE to make a billowing maxi length wrap dress out of.
Minty green 100% silk satin. Perfect for a 1930s style evening dress.
