We absolutely love seeing what you create using our William Morris fabric. So here’s a round up of your latest craft projects – a beautiful set of inspiration for anyone else looking to create their own project using our fabric!
If you do create anything using our fabric – let us know! Tag us on Instagram or email us at [email protected] – we can’t wait to see what you create!
Susan from Green Sleeves Bridal Wear has been making 3D style face coverings from our fabric. She said our William Morris fabrics were proving popular which we’re very happy to hear! She wrote us a lovely note to say, “hope you like the masks, I have had excellent feedback on quality and comfortable design (they include removable nose wire and filter pocket)”
It’s worth mentioning that these aren’t medical grade but are a great way to keep covered and even better if you add your own filter into your own filter pocket.
Julie sent us this photo of her Strawberry Thief blue cushion – we love the detailing of the little pom poms round the edge – how cute!
Sally sent us this photo of her Pimpernel Green cushion – the piping to fit in with the poppies is stunning isn’t it! The tones match beautifully with the chair.
Richard sent us these lovely photos of his Pimpernel green chair and stool. Recovering and upcycling is something we love because as you can see from the photos, the structure of the items are stunning and would be a shame to let go of! By just recovering them, they have a new lease of life.
We hope you enjoy this little round up of projects made from our fabric! If you have any to show us, we’d love to be nosy and see! Remember to send us photos and tag us!

We’re often asked what the different weights of our fabrics are and what projects they’d be good for. These are our three different types of fabrics in our Brother Rabbit red colourway - cotton on the right, heavyweight in the middle and pvc on the left ✨ As you can see on the second photo, and as the name suggests, our heavyweight fabric has a thicker, heavier weave which makes it good for projects such as curtains and light upholstery 🪡 Our cotton fabric is perfect for quilting and projects such as dress making but honestly the amount of crafts that can be made out of them both are endless! 🫶🏻 Our pvc fabric is great to put straight on the table as it won’t fray so doesn’t need a hem and is easy to maintain as it’s wipe clean! All our fabrics are sold by the half metre and if you’d like a sample of any of our fabrics in any weight just let us know and we’ll get a free sample sent to you! 💌

Perhaps the most famous Morris design, Strawberry Thief was registered in 1883, inspired by Morris watching the thrushes stealing strawberries from under his fruit nets at the beautiful @kelmscottmanor 🍓 It was printed using the indigo dye technique, which was labour intensive and first attempted in 1875 but not perfected for 8 years 🎨 We also print Strawberry Thief in a beautiful red 🫶🏻

Gorgeous Golden Lily, designed in 1897, it’s been a timelessly popular design ever since but did you know that it really increased in popularity in the 1960s when the Beatles George Harrison wore a Golden Lily shirt? ✨

We print Willow Bough in this beautiful blue and also in green 🌿 First designed in 1887, it was first produced as a wallpaper design which May Morris, Williams daughter, used to decorate her bedroom before being adapted for fabric in 1895 when it was block printed in Merton Abbey 🌿

Trellis is a special design as it was the first wallpaper he designed for his company, Morris & Co. In 1864 🌿 It was inspired by the rose trellis in the garden of his stunning home @redhousent that he co designed with his friend and architect, Philip Webb

Have you seen Merton before? It’s so underrated as a Morris design we think! It was actually the first design that he printed on rotary screens under the name “Morris & Co.” After their rebrand from “Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.’” 🌿 We’re just appreciating it during peony season!
