Slow mornings, warm tea, and flannel pyjamas sewn by you. Flannel season is here and we've got the fabric and the pattern to prove it 🍓.

Another firm winter favourite flannel is a woven fabric characterized by its soft, brushed surface on one or both sides. It is typically made from cotton or cotton blends, and is renowned for its excellent heat insulation, breathability, and cozy texture.

Simplicity S3205 is the perfect beginner-friendly make - one main pattern piece, drawstring waist, and enough room to live in all winter long. Pair it with our strawberry flannel for her, a classic tartan or stripe for him, and suddenly the cosiest gift you can give someone is one you sewed yourself.

FW26 has brought bouclé back in full force. Coats, fringe-trimmed jackets, tonal skirt suits in chorcoal, blush, greens and ivory. All that looped, nubby texture doing exactly what it was born to do.

Bouclé means “curled” in French - woven from looped yarns that are soft to the touch but hold their structure beautifully. Weight without stiffness. Texture without bulk. The kind of fabric that looks considered before you’ve sewn a single seam.

Its most wearable form right now? The shaket. Open over a slip dress or buttoned up with wide-leg trousers. Finish with oversized pearl or gold buttons and the Chanel reference writes itself.

Come find your bouclé in-store. 😉

Fabrics of Winter #1

Cape Town - The throw your bed has been missing 🧶.

Textured Mongolian fleece this wide (160-180cm) and this soft has a way of making everything else feel less urgent. In cream, baby pink, purple, and cinnamon - each shade chosen for the mood it brings in soft comforting shades.

Mongolian fleece is a premium, high-pile synthetic fabric (100% polyester) designed to mimic the luxurious, curly, and dense texture of natural sheep’s wool. It offers excellent thermal insulation, moisture-wicking properties, and a lightweight feel, making it highly effective for cold-weather, baby blankets (fur or other), and throws for Netflix nights in.

Your next cosy project is here - some fabrics you have to feel before the idea finds you. Come in and see at Fabric Centre Somerset West or WhatsApp 021 851 5086. ✨

Ever wondered what GSM means when choosing fabric? 🤍

GSM stands for grams per square meter, it’s a measure of how heavy or light a fabric is. The higher the GSM, the denser or heavier the fabric feels. The lower the GSM, the lighter and more breathable it is.

Choosing the right GSM helps you match the fabric to its purpose, because the feel of your fabric matters just as much as the look 🧵.

A match made in heaven: chartreuse and burgundy.

We’ve been seeing this wedding combo all over our feeds and had to share.
As the insporation for flowers, decor and dresses fresh, its edgy, its unexpected!

Burgundy: ever warm, earthy, and grounding. Chartreuse: electric, fresh, and a little bit unpredictable. Together they create that tension that makes an outfit (or a wedding party) impossible to ignore.

And for bridesmaids specifically, satin has always been a classic - catching light beautifully in photos, draping elegantly on every body, and gives even the simplest silhouette a sense of occasion. It’s why it’s been a bridal staple for decades.

Both colours available in a variety of satins. at Fabric Centre - because your 2027 wedding party deserves to stand out 💍.
