William Morris Fabric Crafts

19th November 2019

You might have seen that we love to feature crafts made from our William Morris fabric on our blog – so welcome back to another instalment! This week, we have such an array of projects – from piano stools to bean bags!
Dave reinvented this piano stool by refurbishing it with new fabric on the seat – using our William Morris Strawberry Thief fabric. He said, “I think the material sets off the stool” – we couldn’t agree more!
Laura sent us this photo of the curtains she made for her stunning bay window. Using our Willow Bough Green fabric, this took 12m of fabric, so we couldn’t agree more when she said it was a “mammoth” project! So worth it though, they really add that pop of colour to the room and compliment Laura’s plants! These floor to rail curtains are perfect for the curtains.
I’d love to share with you the bay window curtains I made with the willow fabric in green.
Laura said she is, “Looking forward to future projects with your beautiful fabrics!”
Chris sent these photos of the projects he’s made using our fabrics – using Strawberry Thief in Red and Blue. he has a craft company called The Hessian Handle Co. – so be sure to check them out and support independent businesses! These projects include note books, diary, memo Pads and coin purses. They’re also making some doorstops, so we’re excited to see those when they’re ready! He wrote to us saying, “your service and fabrics are first class I’m so glad I’ve found you.” Thank you Chris!
If there’s ever anything that makes you want to curl up with a good book and a bar of chocolate, it’s a bean bag. Christina made this using our Red Strawberry Thief fabric, it looks so wonderful!
We hope you have enjoyed our latest instalment in this series! If you make anything using our fabric, please let us see it – either tag us on social media or email us at – [email protected] and we will send you a 20% discount code off your next order.

🌷 William Morris month day 30 🌷 As we come near the end of Morris month, we’re celebrating with a fabric stack, full of beautiful licensed designs, which is your fave? 🌿 “Remember that a pattern is either right or wrong. It cannot be forgiven for blundering, as a picture may be which has otherwise great qualities in it. It is with a pattern as with a fortress, it is no stronger than its weakest point.”- William Morris 🤍

🌿 William Morris Day 20 🌿 William Morris fact of the day; did you know he founded the Kelmscott Press? 🖋️ He wrote of the venture – “Here is a new craft to conquer and to perfect.” Printing began at the press in Spring 1891 🪴 He designed multiple fonts including “Golden” Roman typeface and “Troy” Gothic type along with “Chaucer” and he worked to create beautiful books in regards to their designs which took into account their type, image and decorative elements – you can see beautiful examples of what he achieved today if you do a quick search on the Kelmscott Press- it’s well worth a Google! 🌷

🍓 William Morris Month Day 14 🍓 Strawberry Thief was inspired by William Morris’s watching the thrushes under the strawberry nets at the stunning @kelmscottmanor 🌿 May Morris conjured up this scene when speaking of the design, “You can imagine my Father going out in the early morning and watching the rascally thrushes at work on the fruit beds and telling the fanned who growls ‘I’d like to wring their necks!’ that no bird in the garden must be touched. There were certainly more birds than strawberries in spite of attempts at protection. And the walls of the little dining-room are hung with this note of the June garden and the little lords of it.” 🍓 What a lovely insight into the Morris family life! 🥰
