New: Wishes by Jill Howarth
Make a wish and step into a fairytale! Wishes by Jill Howarth brings the magic of Cinderella to life with charming illustrations inspired by the beloved story. Think the royal ball, moonlit scenes, delicate florals, sparkling diamonds, and the iconic glass slipper, all in a dreamy palette of soft pinks, powder blues, periwinkle, and rich blueberry tones.
We only have a few prints from this enchanting collection, but they're simply too sweet not to share! Whether you're creating a special quilt for a little Cinderella fan, sewing a keepsake pillow, or making something magical for a child who loves fairy tales, these fabrics are full of inspiration.
There's something lovely about turning a favourite childhood story into something they can hold onto for years to come — a handmade reminder of the stories, dreams, and little moments that make childhood so special.

New: Sevenberry Canvas
Love a beautiful print but want something with a little more structure? Our Sevenberry canvas fabrics are here! Known for their distinctive Japanese-inspired designs, Sevenberry brings together lovely patterns and timeless style that are just as fun to sew with as they are to look at.
Canvas is a great choice when you want your projects to have a bit more body and durability than regular quilting cotton. Think everyday tote bags, crossbody bags, project pouches, zippered bags, aprons, cushions, and home décor — all made a little more special with a beautiful print. They're also lovely for structured garments like jackets, skirts, and overalls!
Whether you're sewing a new bag for yourself, making a thoughtful handmade gift, or adding a pop of personality to your home, these fabrics are ready for the job.
