My Sewing Box

New and improved 2022 edition!

Struggle to identify fabrics when buying online? Have something tangible for reference at home when working out what fabric to use for your project, and purchasing what you need, with our handy fabric sample booklet.

This guide features 40 samples of our most common types of fabrics, to give you a good idea what they look and feel like. You'll be able to see how fibre contents affect the fabric and what different weights feel like between your fingers. Ideal for when you can't get to your fabric shop! 

We also feature a short guide in the front about how to choose a fabric, talking you through important elements like weight, stretch, type and widths. For each fabric, we also suggest what it can be used for and the needle type you'll need to sew it.
