If you do create something from our fabric, we’d love to see, please send us your photos to: [email protected] and we’ll send you a 20% discount code for your next order on our website.

A Willow Bough Shed

William Morris craft shed

Has there every been a more chic shed? Heather sent us this photo of her garden shed, using our Willow Bough Green fabric in the windows. We love how it looks, matching in so well with the colour of the shed.

Strawberry Thief Stool

Hannah sent us these lovely photos of her Strawberry Thief stool project. She wrote, “thank you so much for your fabric it’s beautiful – I was only planning on reupholstering a stool but got a bit carried away! My mask gets me compliments everywhere I go.” Thank you for sending us the fabulous photos Hannah, glad you like our fabrics.

Willow Bough Green Bag

This bag, made as a present is sure to make anyone’s day. Sue sent us this photo along with a lovely note. “Loved your William Morris  Fabrics.My next door neighbour told me how she loved your Willow Boughs Green.I went looking on the internet and was so pleased to see you sold small amounts.Your service is a breath of fresh air, thanks. I surprised her with the bag I made, she was so happy. Beautiful fabric to see with.”

Willow Bough Blue Curtains

These wonderful Willow Bough Blue curtains were made by Izzy during lockdown. Izzy’s brother liked the curtains so much he wants them for his kitchen – just what we like to hear, spreading the word of fabulous William Morris fabric!

Strawberry Thief Chairs

Angela sent us this photo of her up cycled kitchen chairs. Her first reupholstering project, but you’d never have known, they look wonderful. With plans for covering a shoe cabinet, we can’t wait to see Angela’s next project!

Compton Storage Chest

Susan sent us this photo of her up cycling project. Using an old storage chest, you can see the new lease of life she’s given it – how brilliant! Because of the wonderful craftsmanship, it’s great that it can be up cycled, without losing any of it’s beauty.
Sarah sent us this photo of her project, a bag made using our William Morris Strawberry Thief fabric in blue. She mentioned she was “so pleased with my purchase” and we’re so please and so happy to see your project!

Cotton or heavyweight cotton? Here’s how to choose 🧵✨

All of our fabrics are licensed William Morris designs, digitally printed here in the UK. We offer two weights, so you can pick the right one for your project:

🌿 Cotton
Lighter, softer and easy to sew. It drapes beautifully and is perfect for:

- Dressmaking, like skirts, blouses and shirts

Ever wondered why our fabrics look so good up close? 🔍✨

Every one of our William Morris designs is digitally printed and manufactured right here in the UK, and here’s why we love it:

🎨 Incredible detail. Every tiny petal, berry and feather comes out crisp and true to the original design. The colours are consistent and gorgeous. 
🌈 Rich, accurate colours that stay just as vibrant as the artwork intended when Morris designed them
🌿 Kinder to the planet. Digital printing typically uses far less water than traditional methods, and we print in smaller batches, so there’s less waste.
🇬🇧 Supporting British makers. A shorter supply chain means we keep skills, jobs and quality close to home.

It’s a modern way to bring timeless designs into your home 💛
