So, if you are the support team for hard-at-work children, grandchildren or even a mature student studying for exams, you may need something therapeutic to help you through. Sewing is the answer, of course and as you're reading this you're already well on the way to finding what you may just need without even knowing it. We've more fabrics in store and a growing range of haberdashery items for you to peruse and choose.

Jardin de Versailles by French General for Moda Fabrics

Jardin de Versailles is a range of gorgeous, intricate designs that would not have looked out of place in les chambres of the Palace de Versailles back in the day. Inspired by the formal Palace gardens, Jardin is bursting with soft pinks, pretty purples, lovely greens, accented with a touch of signature French General red. This collection is perfect for beautiful quilts and bedding, or maybe a charming dress. The striking Marie Antoinette panel would be ideal for a medallion in the centre of a quilt and the little Antoinette images would make perfect lavender bags. We have Layer Cakes, Jelly Rolls and Charm Packs, who could resist.

Love Me Love Me Not by Lewis and Irene Fabrics

Lewis and Irene have come up with another winner, with the most beautiful soft Summer palette of colours in this delightful floral collection. If you remember lying back on the lawn on a Summer's day making daisy chains, then plucking the petals from a single flower and repeating 'he loves, me, he loves me not', hoping for the desired outcome, then you will love this Love Me Love Me Not collection from the masters of the countryside, Lewis and Irene. Endless possibilities with this range, plus a charming little mouse too. If you need inspiration, we have two FREE patterns for you to enjoy. Just click on the images.

Eden Pop  by Jilly P for Dashwood Studio

Eden Pop, a new fabric collection by designer Jilly P for Dashwood Studios was inspired by a visit she made to the fabulous Eden Project in Cornwall in July when the gardens were in full bloom, bursting with colour and bees were busy in their droves. This is a fun range of designs with the humble bumble bee centre stage.

Pepper & Flax  by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics

Pepper & Flax is a new fabric collection from Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics. Corey believes that all good things come in pairs - milk and cookies, burgers and fries, needle and thread, smiles and laughter, and, of course,  fabric and love. Pepper & Flax is another such pairing, bringing together two favourite colours - Yellow and Grey... with just a touch of green. Corey mixes beautiful florals with a little bit of sweet and a little bit of vintage in her Pepper & Flax collection to provide the perfect ingredients for a wonderful project. We have Charm Packs, Jelly Rolls and Layer Cakes in Pepper & Flax too! If you are looking for an idea for something lovely to make with this collection, Corey Yoder has some lovely patterns to buy from her own Coriander Quilt pattern shop.
