Fabrics...

Please take notice of the number of stars next to the materials, as this is linked with the prices of garments: garments made with material that has 1 star(*) are cheaper than garments made with material of 2 stars (**).
Material marked with 3 stars (***) is the most expensive, highest quality material ~ they are Kaufman fabrics, such as you would find in a patchwork shop. Garments made with these 3 star materials will last longer (if properly cared for). The fabric is also very soft, not requiring a lot of ironing.

    All 3 star (***) materials are available:
  •      as fat quarters for patchwork ($4.00 each)
  •      to purchase by the metre ($15.00 per metre - 1 metre minimum)(subject to availability)

Providing your own fabric/patterns

If you would prefer me to sew any of our garments in your own fabric, follow the one star price and deduct $8 for ladies dresses/pinafores/nightgowns and skirts, $6 for girls and $4 for babies. Deduct $6 for ladies blouses and vests, $4 for girls and $2for babies. Please ensure if you do choose to use your own fabric that you send the right amount of fabric stated or a bit more. If there is not enough fabric sent then that garment will not be able to be made, so please ensure to send enough fabric. For dresses, nightgowns, pinafores, and skirts (except no. 53, 54, 55,) allow 3.5meters for ladies size 8-14, 4 meters for ladies sizes 16-22, 3 meters for girls size 7-14, 2.5 meters for girls size 2-6, and 1.5 meters for babies. For blouses and vests allow 2 meters for ladies size 8-14, 2.5 meters for ladies sizes 16-22, 1.75 meters for girls size 7-14, 1.5 meters for girls size 2-6, and 1 meter for babies. For skirt no. 53,54, 55 allow 4.5 meters all sizes. All these lengths are worked from 112cm wide fabric. You will need an extra meter for 90cm wide fabric and an extra half for long sleeves. If you want your own pattern used the charge of making it will be $15 minimum (depending on pattern/work involved in pattern)
