ava maria

a Feast For the eyes

a✿✿ AvA MAriA

This lovely paisley made me think of the group The Carpenters for some reason. Perhaps it’s because it is somewhat understated yet brilliant. 100% woven rayon this 56” cloth does not crease easily and would make a lovely dress.

REF: CM781 54” (142cm) Wide £5.75 per metre

✿✿ AurorAMaybe i have got children’s films on the brain but this cloth made me think of romantic meetings under trees full of blossom. So i have named it after Sleeping Beauty who met her prince in the forest. it has a charming base and pretty floral design. Cloth fit for a queen. it comes in two colours: a) Beige b) Grey

REF: CM782 54” (142cm) Wide £5.75 per metre

✿✿ A FeAst For the eyes56’’ wide beautifully fine cotton lawn in a bright poppy red with an all over floral design in shades of orange, pink, mauve, light green, pale blue, lemon and black. Light as a feather, beautiful hand and a fine an example of its ilk as you’ll find.

REF: CM619 56” (145cm) Wide £14.00 per metre

✿✿ As Good As (picture on back cover)if you like viscose dress fabrics and you like a bit of pattern then this is the fabric for you. i am biased but i would love a pair of trouser in this. it is a super lightweight viscose jersey that doesn’t crease easily if at all. it has a super subtle but interesting blue kaleidoscope print on it which will be great with white and denim for the summer or your holidays. Made in France.

REF: CM866 60” (150cm) Wide £8.95 per metre

✿✿ A rose AMonGst thorns A slight exaggeration as this did come in with some other fabulous gear, this is a superb 64 inch wide superfine wool gabardine in khaki, fairly special. There is not much of it.

REF: CM814 64” (162cm) Wide £10.00 per metre

✿✿ AnGel deliGht60 inch wide poly/viscose trying to imitate silk. This is as soft as a cloth can get, and amongst other things i bet it makes fabulous nighties. it would actually be perfect for harem pants, or a lovely soft blouse. We have it in four colours: a) Black b) Grey c) Stone d) White

REF: CM824 60” (152cm) Wide £5.50 per metre

B✿✿ bAr bAr White sheep

Light cream 73% wool, 25% nylon 2% elastane knitted jersey. Not a jersey as in a cotton jersey, but a fairly open knit sort of thing you might make a shawl out of, or a hat and scarf to match; that sort of thing. it’s a soft and scrumbly sort of fabric with a gorgeous hand.

REF: CM622 64” (162.5cm) Wide £14.75 per metre

✿✿ be bold60inch wide coated cotton, water resistant, woven check coating in shades of brown and dark grey with an overcheck in blue- has it got a famous name i ask myself?

REF: CM805a 60” (152cm) Wide £8.50 per metre

New products...

Such a plethora of cloth there is to contemplate and write

about, talk about, feel and ultimately enjoy. i have also

tended to write about things as i came upon them rather

than have them compartmentalised and organised, but

that’s the way we have also bought cloth; go and look at

it say yes you can have it and then it arrives and then at

that point you have a look at what you have really bought

and there’s the excitement of the chase that has kept me

in this business for as long as it has. So, if you’re sitting

comfortably then i’ll begin...

✿✿ bold stripeNow you can either wear this or sit on it. it looks somewhat like a deck chair fabric, in fact made for medium shorts for a famous and expensive outlet. i know this because we had its sister fabric, year or two back, exactly the same, so i know where it’s from. A medium weight, woven cotton twill in a multi-coloured stripe in oranges/fawn/lemon/bit of pink and white. despite its fairly light weight it is an extremely strong fabric, soft finish so is not pristine or smooth as an ironed poly-cotton very pliable, not stiff in any way. A bit of a blast.

REF: CM805b 60” (152cm) Wide £6.00 per metre

✿✿ blAck suitinGsCHANEL What’s classy and will never date, words once associated with Chanel, this cloth would be happy in any Chanel collection, this is a rather splendid 60” wide 98% wool 2% lycra worsted woven suiting in a quite dark black with a shine to it, absolutely magnificent.

REF: CM708 60” (152cm) Wide £18.00 per metre

Look At ME WHEN I’M tALkINg to You Black, heavy polyester and elastane dress fabric. This is perfect for trousers and it would also make skirts, school skirts and trousers. A strong fabric with good stretch.

REF: CM491 60” (152cm) Wide £5.75 per metre

MAYpoLE 60” wide fairly heavy, very drapey, high twist polyester crepe, not a cheap and nasty crepe, it’s a very expensive one, beautifully made and really will make up well. This has been highly popular with you so if you haven’t had it, get it whilst it lasts.

REF: CM381 60” (152cm) Wide £9.95 per metre

✿✿ blue Moon (picture on front cover)68in viscose lycra jersey in a fantastic shade of blue. This is a wonderful quality italian jersey which has a magnificent hand and will be beautiful to

wear. This jersey has a nice texture, it is still smooth but not as smooth as some of our cotton jerseys. We also have it in ivory.

REF: CM845 68” (172cm) Wide £10.00 per metre

✿✿ british Wool clothHere we have the last of our British Wool cloths of the moment.

gENuINE ArtICLE Tropical weight, fine wool worsted suiting is the genuine article, soft as a babies bottom, nearly as beautiful, and fabulous to wear.

REF: CM520b 60” (152cm) Wide £15.95 per metre

LAMb Grey pure new wool suiting / lightweight coating. it is not a plain flat grey, there is a suggestion of other tones in it. it is in a sort of flattened lambs wool weave if you will, with an ever so slightly polished finish. exquisite.

REF: CM520e 60” (152cm) Wide £15.95 per metre

brItIsH WooL CHECk Beautiful wool jacketing cloth, a check in shades of beige, grey, pale brown pale blue and cream. it is a large check, 7.5 cm repeat but the overall effect is actually quite subtle. Beautiful!

goLdENsANds 60” wide (152 cm) A superb quality cotton needlecord fabric in a golden sand colour. Not as fine as a needlecord corduroy and not as thick as a corduroy. i don’t think anybody makes fustian these days but there was a mill about 20 miles from here who probably made the finest fustians ever, perhaps they still do, i should find out. These cloths are of that ilk.

REF: CM257b 60” (152cm) Wide £6.50 per metre

sprINg NEEdLECord Stunning cotton pale grey needlecord fabric. Apparently they are in this seasons colours from a well-known designer brand. We had them in six colours, but if you like corduroys this last one will not let you down.

Lightweight.

✿✿ chAMbrAyHere we have a selection of lovely quality cotton chambray fabrics that will not disappoint. a) red – A 64” wide red cotton chambray made up of red yarns and white yarns so it’s rather more perhaps of a pinky red and then just red the further away you go the less red it becomes, woven on some of the best looms money can buy and a great cloth to wear. b) Lilac – cotton chambray, lovely quality once again. c) pink – ditto d) blue – cotton chambray, wonderfully pale blue cotton chambray

REF: CM376 64” (162cm) Wide £6.50 per metre

✿✿ cheesecloth - MosAic100% Cotton cheese cloth, pretty rare these days in that most of this, and probably this is made in india where there is a need for long garments with plenty of cloth in them that they can wrap around, wash easily and don’t need to iron. it is a dark cream cloth with a brown, purple, dark red and pink all over quite large abstract design, this will have 26’’ repeat.

✿✿ cotton JerseyYears ago you could fall over this cloth there was so much of it was produced and probably still is, but not in this country as a result of which you got T-shirts that we’re never in shape primarily because of the making up but also because some of the cloth was rubbish. We have managed to get hold of some very nice quality cotton jersey in varying weights and widths. a) White d) Beige e) Pale Grey g) Jade h) Black (tubular)

✿✿ creAM oF bArley60 inch wide quite hefty cream cotton lightweight upholstery cloth. That’s my interpretation it’s not supposed to be that, but i think it’s eminently suitable for throw over loose covers we haven’t got a deal of it and it’s a heck of a cloth - it’s in cream and has a lightly ribbed striped pattern.

REF: CM828 60” (152cm) Wide £4.75 per metre

✿✿ GeorGette a) Erin - A very pretty floral chiffon, this print makes me feel happy just looking at it. it is just delightful and if you know how to handle your fine dress fabrics this is going to make beautiful things. A long maxi dress for me please.

REF: CM677a 59-60” (150-152cm) Wide £5.50 per metre

b) tiffany - For some reason whenever i see houndtooth i think of not just the 60s but also Audrey Hepburn. Perhaps it’s the class and sophistication that both embody. This particular hound tooth is a lovely polyester chiffon dress fabric, perfect for blouses. Why not offset this with a large tiffany diamond. Go on, i’m sure he’ll oblige. Your partner that is.

REF: CM677b 56” (142cm) Wide £5.50 per metre

c) We Live in Hope - Well Caroline does of sunshine at Glastonbury so she can wear this and flounce around. Or who cares? it may be well over by the time you get this.

Poly/cotton with a tiny little solid daisy like flower joined by swirls of single strand embroidery, obviously on the white it is white and on the cream it’s cream, it’s very pretty and just a little bit different from our usual broderie anglaise.

✿✿ dAvyThis cloth shares more than just its colour with steel. it is just as hard working. Practically creaseless this lovely grey wool fabric is made in one of italy’s finest mills, it would make a great work dress or maybe even a lightweight jacket. There is a wonderfully subtle pattern in this which i hope you can see in the picture.

✿✿ Finest cotton shirtinGsFive wonderful shirting fabrics from Paul Smith. Yum Yum. My three year old says along with a slurping sound and a cheeky look whenever he gets to eat something he likes. it’s funny how this never leaves you, now it’s just over a delicious cloth.

a) kasperof - What do you do when your clogs let water? This is a fantastic pure cotton lawn in a tiniest of woven checks in black and very pale grey. Wonderful. 60 inches wide.

b) building blocks - 60 inch wide cotton shirting in a pink and white minute check pattern that looks a little like the laying of bricks with the centre part of the brick being pink and its surround in white - ever so fine though. Very beautiful women’s shirting from Paul Smith. Contrary to what the name suggests this is very feminine.

c) super 180s - 60 inch wide incredibly fine woven cotton shirting in the finest of yarns in a pink and navy blue ¼” check. Slaveringly beautiful.

d) Where’s Me shirt - A 60’’ wide superfine long twenties cotton poplin in as fine and a small check as you can possible have. The background is off white and the yarns to make up the check are in mauve, possibly a little bit of pink and taupe so the overall effect is for a cloth that has a print rather than rather than a white cloth with a check on it. A supreme example of the weaver’s art.

e) Finest shirting Navy - Beautiful quality cotton lawn shirting in navy.

REF: CM833 60” (152cm) Wide £6.00 per metre

✿✿ expressoThis woven cloth is a 97% wool 3% elastane suiting, a fine great weave. a) Crepe

REF: CM628 60” (152cm) Wide £12.50 per metre

b) knit - This is a dark brown knitted cloth is 48’’ wide and is made of mostly wool with a little bit of nylon and lycra in it. Perhaps you would make a coat or jacket of one and a bit of a wrap out of the other. There’s only an eyeful of both, so it’s a pot luck job, whoever comes first gets it but it’s worth having.

REF: CM628b 48” (121cm) Wide £18.00 per metre

✿✿ Fine, Fine, Finest60 inch wide charcoal grey wool worsted ultra-fine suiting in the faintest possible fine chalk stripes, made some time ago it has to be said, in a wonderful mill handles like a cotton lawn or silk absolutely gorgeous.

l✿✿ lookAlike

These two super fabrics came in the shipment from Germany. Both remind me of the seaside.

a) rumpled - A 63inch wide viscose/linen cloth which i think has been made to look as good as ironed as when it’s gone all rumpled it has character. Suitable for skirts and floppy trousers.

b) seawashed - 60inch wide cotton linen/viscose dress fabric in a lovely shade of pale green which has something of a look of seawashed turf. i wonder if it’s a good to wear as seawashed turf is to play golf from!

LAgooN i don’t think the designs are suitable for a day at a winter race meeting, but certainly Ascot, derby and on a particular fine Grand National, frocks made from these beautiful crepe-de-chine fabrics may be just the ticket, i know the emphasis these days is on what or how outrageous a hat you can wear which perhaps detracts somewhat from the rest of the clothing that the ladies wear, but i’m not sure they would detract in this sense.

That being the case, of course it will crease somewhat, so you need a good iron. But a lovely cloth to own. do you keep cloths just so you can own them? it’s a great cloth. Would go with a lot of stuff.

The background is black with fawn interference as it were laid upon which is what appears to be a quite separate article in brown twigs which are slightly raised from the main body of the cloth. it’s not too heavy, but looks warm and a thing of purpose, if you had an Airedale terrier he would get lost in this. Fabulous stuff but only an eyeful of it sadly.

and finally...i just want to squeeze these in, they have just arrived but they are good value jerseys. We have three of them and are as follows:

a) take Flight – 78inch 160cm wide decent quality lilac viscose jersey fabric onto which has been printed a small white and bright pink random small scale bird print. The birds are like the ones a child would draw, a tick like shape on a drawing with a big round sun.

b) black on black – 60 inch 150cm wide lightweight black viscose jersey fabric onto which has been printed a shiny black penny size spot in rows across the fabric, it is half drop so the repeat is not in squares. i nice jersey with a bold pattern which made into the right garnet will look rather classy.

c) random – unlike the one above this cotton jersey fabric has a random spot print in three colours, the lilac ground pale aqua and pale lilac spot have been printed onto a white ground creating the third spot colour. They are about the size of a penny and sit very close together, so no difficulties with matching the repeat. Also a decent quality.
