Is anyone sewing this weekend? I think it is probably too hot to sew. I did manage to cut out some fabric the other day but it hasn't reached the sewing machine yet. Inspired by the hot weather we are having in the UK, I've pulled together and edit of vintage fabrics to match the colours of the hot sun and the earth which looks more like sand currently. Lots of cool cotton fabrics including some 1970s cheesecloth in a brown stripe. I'm offering 15% off all my fabrics when bought with Seasons of East Summer in London dress pattern. Both fabric and pattern need to be brought from my online fabric shop at the same time before 31st August 22. Use the code 'Summer' in the check out. I'm off to Southend-on-Sea tomorrow with the rest of East London and Essex to find a spot on the beach. Enjoy the sunshine, there will be plenty of time for sewing in the Autumn🧵

The colour brown has nurturing qualities as it represents the soil or the earth. It is associated with resilience, dependability, security and safety. With these themes in mind, it isn’t surprising that brown was popular colour throughout the 1970s. A decade of national strikes, blackouts and the three day week (OK, that bit sounds nice). Perhaps people were drawn to the brown’s qualities of warmth, comfort and security when the world was changing around them.

This fun patchwork cotton poplin will keep you cool in the heat ☀️whip up a quick shell top, pair of shorts or a cute elastic waisted skirt 🧵 91 x 214cm ✂️ only one piece available £30 #vintagefabric

My local park currently looks like this printed cotton fabric. The grass has turned to sand and the trees are in shadows when the burnt orange sun sets. Rich oranges, browns and reds this fabric represents the heatwave we are having in the UK this summer. Stripes in various widths and simple tree print scattered about the stripes. 100% cotton, medium heavyweight canvas. Perfect for soft furnishings or casual tailoring. Measurements: 134cm wide x 400cm long – sold as one piece at £70. Excellent condition, never been used.

Very striking printed vintage fabric in bold colours. A graphic floral design in soft brown, lilac, burnt terracotta and cream highlights. The polyester fabric from Italy, has a luxurious satin feel and drape.

My new arrivals of vintage fabrics are the colour of this summer’s heatwave. Soft beige the colour of sand, dark orange the colour of the hot sunset. Highlighted with nurturing deep browns, what our Earth needs right now. I’ve selected these pieces from the collection as they would work perfectly made into the Seasons of East dress, aptly named Summer in London. I’m offering 15% off all vintage fabrics when bought with the Summer in London pattern from my online fabric shop. Use code ‘Summer’ on check out for the discount. Applies to fabrics only, valid until 31st August. See my blog post for full details.

Polyester printed vintage fabric with a luxury finish and drape. Very soft and fluid, it would work really well as a top, skirt or shorts. One piece available 148 x 185cm, £25. It is fairly wide so there might be enough for a short and top co-ord so such as the Maven Patterns Simone set.
