If you follow the #memade tag over on Instagram or learnt your dressmaking craft following online blogs, you most likely will have come across the subject of our next interview. Roisin Muldoon (aka Dolly Clackett which is the name of her blog) has very kindly agreed to answer some of our burning questions!

Although spring seems like a distant dream right now, there’s nothing putting on rose tinted glasses and the right Frida fabric won’t fix.

Here’s a quick walk through of how we made this pleated Frida skirt.

**this is not for the faint-hearted!

Step 1: Lay out the fabric and admire the handiwork. You will need the circumference of your waist, and 1cm seam allowance each side of every panel. Make sure you spare some fabric for the belt. For the tulle, every panel will have to be twice the size so you can fold it into pleats.

Time to take a break and stick on some tea? We totally agree.

Welcome to the last installment of "Get to Know Us". Today we're bringing you Olivia who plays the extremely important role of putting GIFs in our Instagram stories.

Welcome back fabric lovers! We hope you made it safely through the snowpocalypse, and maybe even finished a project or 2 if you were lucky enough to skip work.

Personally I ran out of tinned soup and will avenge the snow when I figure out how.

Back here we’ve been up to our ears with trying to decide which spring fabric is our favourite, and will definitely need your help this Sunday in Instagram Stories. Stay vigilant!

For Part 2 of our internet coffee date, we’re introducing Laura a.k.a. best hair in the business. Stick the kettle on, grab a biscuit and relax with this quick interview!

Everyday we show you tropical birds with Michael Millar, take you on a woodland journey with Riley Blake, and advise you to embrace your inner Alexander Henry girl. Well recently, we've been thinking maybe it's time to switch our cameras to selfie mode and let you in on our lives a little.

February has arrived (finally) and in a few short weeks, so too will Valentines Day. We thought it would be fun to pull out a few of our 'loved up' fabrics to inspire your projects for this month!

Hi there, fabric lovers!

We are excited to announce we have a marvellous batch of new Alexander Henry prints just arrived into Fabric Yard to set you up for the Spring/ Summer season.

Hunky lumberjacks, calaveras pin-ups, luscious lips, and zombie teenagers to name but a few......

Instead of trying to see this slushy January through rose tinted glasses, we recommend bracing yourself with rose tinted fabric.

Ballerinas, Bathing Babes and Trendsetter Houndstooth. What will you make out of them?

If you have ordered buttons from us recently you may have been enamoured with our packing tape (we certainly have been). Featuring cute unicorns, sunny palm trees, colourful ice cream and bright rainbows, the tape was created by Rico Designs and luckily they also produce beautiful fabrics!

It was love at first sight when we spotted these Michael Miller Llamas! The colours, the patterns, the subjects! We're partial to everything Latin American here at Fabric Yard and these Peruvian beauties ticked all our boxes.
