Are you addicted to fabric?
Do you have sleepless nights dreaming of your next project?

Where has the last year gone, Alfie turned 1 yesterday, it doesn’t seem possible.  We had a little tea party for him which he thoroughly enjoyed.  One of the highlights for him was playing with his favourite little tractor, as you can see, he is making ‘full-on’ tractor noises!  One of his presents from us was ‘dog’.  Alfies first word wasn’t ‘mama’ or ‘dada’, it was ‘dog’, so it only seemed right that he got a sausage dog for his birthday.  I used Farmdale Crosshatch Mustard for the body, Farmdale Blossom Red for the tail and Duck Egg Linen for his ears.  When Alfie saw him he ‘arrrrrred’ him with a big squeeze – sweet!

Jennie, comment 22 – congratulations!  This is what Jennie suggested:-

‘I adore your site and cannot help but buy lots every time I visit.

What would be helpful in my eyes is seeing all the fabrics in a category in one go rather than having to clck the option or browse per page, if that makes sense. Also because I usually trawl through all the categories anyway I would like to have to option to see all fabrics in one huge list, regardless of what category they are in. And then being able to sort by colour would be great.

And i agree that more customer or your projects would be really inspiring.

But keep up the good work as yours is one of my favourite websites!’

Thank you to everyone that entered and for all your comments, we’ve had some great suggestions.   Its an exciting time for Fabric Rehab, watch this space for the new and improved shop…

Fabric Rehab is having a facelift.  We have lots of new  ideas, but we’d like to hear from our customers on how we could improve your shopping experience.  For example it could be about the categories or how you navigate the shop.  To say thank you for your help, comments left will be entered into our HUGE, BIG, GIGANTIC Bumper Bundle draw.  The picture above and below is what one lucky person will win, 35 – yes 35 fat quarters!!!   All comments registered between now and Monday 6th September will be entered into a draw and the winner announced after that date.

Fabric Rehab are taking a summer break, the shop is still open but purchases made between Wednesday 28th July and Friday 6th August will not be dispatched until Monday 9th August.  We would like to offer our customers a little bonus and during this time we will be offering free postage on all UK orders!

Any enquiries received during this period will also be answered on our return.

Happy holidays!

We love being creative here at Fabric Rehab, whilst its great being busy packaging orders, any crafting gets squeezed in during our lunch hour.  Hence this little project…

I’m sure most of us have a little stock pile of fabric hanging around, and probably numerous weddings and birthday’s over the summer months.  So why not make a really easy bunting card?  I made this one for a friends wedding celebration.  Here’s how:-

Cut your scraps into small triangles and arrange on to a piece of card (I used A4 folded) using either thin ribbon or string as the bunting tape, glue into place (I used PVA glue).  If you would like a more colourful one just use coloured card instead – TA DA!  A really summery celebration card and dead easy!

When you shop on-line you don’t always see whats behind the scenes, its only a ‘virtual’ idea, you can imagine what a ‘bricks and mortar’ shop might be like but its nice to see the real thing.    If you’d imagined floor to ceiling of gorgeous fabric – you’d have been right!

If you’d like more information on how to view our fabrics by appointment, please email contact@fabricrehab.co.uk.

Apologies in advance if we’re taking your fabric addiction to new heights!

We can’t wait for these gorgeous prints to arrive!

We’ve been featured on this fantastic site ‘Bambino Goodies’ this weekend.  Bambino Goodies is a great shopping guide for all baby things that are cool, stylish and funky and not covered in teddy bears!  Published every weekday the blog comprises of news, reviews, features and trends.

I’ve been meaning to make one of these sweet Little Kittys for a while and the opportunity arose as my other son has a girl friends party to go to, so this Little kitty is on its way to a 4 year old.  The pattern was easy to follow and for the dress I used Oz Lollipops Green.

Our dog Sidney is a sucker for a warm fire (mind you, so am I), as soon as I say ’shall we light the fire’ he’s camped out in front of the wood burner. 

As its sooo cold we thought it would be wise to get some lovely needlecord into the shop, we’ve got 3 different designs and they can be found in the ‘Cool Cords’ category.  They’d make gorgeous pinafores, skirts or shirts.

I don’t think there are many parts of the country that have escaped the snow and although we had alot today and local schools were closed, here at Fabric Rehab we are still getting orders out, we wouldn’t want to hold up any crafty projects!  Having said that they may be delayed if Royal Mail can’t get through to the worst affected areas, hopefully not for too long. 

So to brighten up a cold winters day we’ve put together 2 wonderful  bundles of 12 FQs, equivalent to 3 yards of fabric in each bundle.  They’re fresh, zesty and quite frankly irresistable!  Available here in ‘Fabric Bundles’.
