Beautiful English Lavender

28th May 2018

If there’s one plant we’ve always loved, it’s lavender. Fields of English Lavender inspired our Lavender design, one of our favourites and we especially love to bring it out in the Summertime to bring that fresh lavender into our home. 

We recently got sent this lovely photo of our Lavender photo being used in a craft project. Creating a hand pleated cushion and a little scent bag – keep these in your wardrobe or draws to keep your clothes smelling of calming lavender or pop on your bedside table to scent the whole room! 

We sell our fabric by the half metre so whether your project is big or small, you can get the perfect length. Of course, we also sell products in the Lavender range including tablecloths, aprons and aprons. 

Known for it’s scent and beauty, Lavender is part of the mint family, with the origin believed to be from the Mediterranean, Middle East and India. It’s history goes back some 2500 years. The name Lavender holds origins in the Latin ‘lavare’ which means ‘to wash’ and is reportedly so because the Romans used Lavender to scent their baths, beds, clothes and hair as well as it’s medicinal properties. 

Known for it’s relaxing properties, we love to use the scent as a pillow spray to get a better nights sleep, or part of bubble bath to relax but the oil is also a well known disinfectant, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. 

We always use the tablecloth and napkins this time of year as we move into Summer to brighten up the home, bring in the fresh florals. We’re also planning to make some cushions just like these to pop on the outside sofa to keep everyone cosy during BBQs. What would you create with our Lavender fabric?

A really simple napkin fold for your Easter table! 🐣 We used a napkin ring but you could use ribbon or twine, whatever you’ve got! 🐰
Just fold the napkin into a triangle and roll up from the point until you can fold it in half to make the ears 🐇 You could put a little creme egg in there as an extra treat 🤎

The start of the Easter tablescapes this weekend 🐣 We cant resist a little rabbit napkin, so easy and so effective we can post a reel on how to do the napkin fold! 🐰 This is our pvc fabric in William Morris Brother Rabbit red which is perfect for on the table as it simply wipes clean so isn’t an issue for any spills 🧼 
We know that seasonal tablescapes whilst looking amazing can often seem really expensive on Instagram so we wanted to prove that with a simple napkin fold and a few little inexpensive decor bits it can be wonderfully seasonal yet affordable and used every year - the carrots are from @poundland and the cute little sheep are from @sainsburys 🐑

Born on this day in 1834, William Morris was an incredible talent. His designs are as timeless and popular today as ever, so long after they were designed 🎨 He also was a poet, writer and socialist activist who was involved in the arts and crafts movement and worked hard to keep traditional British textiles, he opened his own mill, Merton Abbey Mills 🌿 there’s so many interesting aspects of his life that he seemed to live many lives at once, when you’re that talented it must be hard to pick just one passion! 🌿 Happy Birthday William, thank you for all the stunning designs we print here in the UK just as he was passionate about all those years ago! 🇬🇧

A bit of a different one today, and we’re very amateur so don’t zoom in on our planting too much, but isn’t spring lovely tidying up the greenhouse ready to plant in? 🌱 Next up is getting some tomato plants and might even take on a dahlia or two! 🤍 If you’re a gardener and know how to keep this grape vine alive, do let us know how 😂
