You Asked, We Answered
Looking for more info about one of our products, services, or a pending order? Check out our list of frequently asked questions below for some quick answers. If your question isn’t answered here, get in touch today.
How can you charge LESS?
Firstly 95% of our Stock is from UK suppliers, so no need for customs taxes for us to ship in. Instead of us shipping in from overseas ourselves, we buy from and support UK businesses. We mostly buy rolls / bolts of fabric which can lower the cost too, but at times get one off pieces or smaller amounts offered to us as well as deadstock / clearance lines. We are a discount / clearance fabric store, so we don't always get the same fabrics in regularly.
Please note: at times fabrics we get contain misprints, marks and faults, we make sure we check fabric and note any of these on product descriptions, on the rare occasion when something may be missed, please contact us within 48 hours in order for us to rectify the mistake.
What are factory pre-cuts?
Clothing factories cut fabrics ready to make into garments. However at times they have excess pieces, usually Not complete garments. So we buy these to stop them going to landfill and sell really cheap, it's a great way to get creative or test out new fabrics. So to summarise they are pieces of fabrics. Odd shapes and sizes, different prints and plains, different fabrics eg cotton jersey, Jersey, knit, lycra, scuba etc. Some you can work out what they would have been made into, most you can't. Lots of customers like creating dolls clothes with them, face wipes, small items, tops for themselves etc. It also helps with the environment as it doesn't end up in landfill.
How do I know your fabrics really are Cotton or cotton jersey, because cotton is natural and more expensive?
We take quality control VERY seriously. When fabrics don't come with compositions, or fabric type, we still do our own tests and quality checks to ensure accuracy. It is illegal to knowingly advertise products falsely. Which is why we ensure our checks are done. Not only that, we know how important it is to you when choosing fabrics that you know what you're buying. QUICK TIP: If you suspect you have brought a fabric stating cotton and want a quick easy way to test its accuracy, take a corner and scrunch it in your hand and hold for a few seconds to 1minute. IF it is creased it will most likely contain a high content of cotton or natural fibres. Another way is to burn test a piece, if it burns and turns to ash it is cotton. Remember though if its a cotton mix then it may melt slightly too, eg fleece back as fleece is usually polyester.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes if it has not been dispatched already, but if it has been dispatched, please see returns policy.
My order is urgent, how can I ensure to get it quickly?
For urgent orders, we advise you put in the additional information URGENT and we can prioritize your order. DPD is usually the quickest but we make no guarantees on any courier or royal mails services.
Can you source a specific fabric?
Sometimes, so do drop us a message and we will do our best. But please note. Depending on which supplier that has it, depends on cost.
Why is my fabric not cut 100% straight?
We use tailoring scissors to cut our fabric. We try our utmost to get the fabric as straight as possible. If it's wonky do check as usually we will cut over the metre so you have 1m from shortest points.
My fabric is not bang on 100cm / 1m in length. Why?
We try our utmost to cut fabrics exactly on 100cm / 1m in length, but we do say allow upto 10% difference either way. But 99% of our fabrics are cut between 97cm and 105cm.
