The Bishopston fabrics are here!

The fabrics that I ordered from Bishopston Trading back in October have now arrived!

The enormous parcel was delivered on Friday, but I needed a bit of help to lift and unwrap it, so I had to wait a full twenty-four hours before I could look inside…

Aren’t they beautiful?

You can see all of the fabrics in more details in their own Flickr set, here.

I had ordered 130 metres of fabric altogether! It came in nine pieces, each a different colour. Some of these were pre-ordered by friends who also like to make their own clothes, so I now have just less than eighty metres left, in seven different colours.

I’ve also ordered some new patterns to work with. As soon as they arrive, I’ll be making a couple of outfits for myself, and then adding four new garments to the shop.

I’m really excited about all of this lovely fabric! All of the colours go together so beautifully, and it feels so soft and luxurious. I can’t wait to make into clothes.
