Fabric Info

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on fabric options! Here, you'll find a treasure trove of information on our diverse range of textiles. We proudly offer over 21 quality bases for printing, ensuring a perfect fabric for every project.

Our selection ranges from the durable and vibrant PUL (Polyurethane Laminate) to the cozy and versatile Cotton Lycra. Whether you're crafting modern cloth nappies, elegant dresses, or anything in between, our fabric guide is designed to provide you with all the essential details to make an informed choice.

It's important to note that all fabrics naturally experience some colour fade and shrinkage over time with wash and wear. To minimise colour fading, we suggest using a colour catcher during washes. Expect a shrinkage of up to 10% in the total length of the fabric after washing. Remember, this shrinkage is typical and not indicative of any fabric quality flaw. We highly recommend prewashing your fabrics as you plan to wash your finished garment. If your fabric arrives with a length shorter than what you ordered, please get in touch with us immediately before prewashing. After washing, we are unable to offer a full refund.

When ordering fabric with stretch, please consider a potential variation of up to 5cm in length. This variation is a natural outcome of the measuring and cutting process and should be considered in your project planning.

BYO Custom Printing

Elevate your creations with our BYO custom printing option! You can have your unique designs printed on any of our available fabric bases. For custom prints, please note that a minimum order requirement is 1 meter per fabric base.
