I’ve been a bit obsessed with the By Hand London Hannah since I made my first one and when I saw this fabric from New Craft House I knew it would be the perfect match. It’s very sheer so I thought about lining it however I’ve done that with a few white dresses before and…
I bought the Hannah wrap dress a while ago but hadn’t found the right fabric until I saw this cotton from New Craft House. New Craft House have the best selection of ex-designer deadstock fabrics, and the fact that they are limited quantity and sustainably sourced, makes me feel 99% guilt free when buying them!…

I bought this yellow gingham on a bit of a whim at New Craft House - I went there in person for their new studio open day and got to stoke all the fabrics, I loved this one as soon as I saw it - it feels like a really high quality cotton - and…
I bought this cotton seersucker from the New Craft House Christmas party. I don't normally buy fabrics out of season but this one jumped out at me and I was imagining a summery Anna dress or another Flora. However seeing so many other lovely versions, I settled on a Tilly and the Buttons Seren dress.…
