FABCYCLE

We pulled together some of the funniest, most bizarre prints, unexpected colours and just really interesting fabrics we could find and put them all into one glorious mashup.

Because sometimes you look at a fabric and think, who designed this? What was the story here? And why do we love it so much?

So that’s the theme this week: Embrace the Weird.

Come have a browse through the new arrivals.

We recently received a huge batch of premium responsible viscose blend twill and the colours and the feel of this fabric are incredible. It’s soft and smooth, with really nice stretch and enough structure for hiking pants, lightweight jackets, travel pants and other outdoor pieces.

We also got two premium certified DWR (Durable Water Repellent) wovens that would be great for a lot of the same projects, especially when you want something lightweight and water repellent.

And because we got A LOT of the viscose twill, we’re able to offer it at a really good price for such a premium fabric :)

We just added almost 100 vintage sewing patterns to the shop, and there are some really good ones in this batch.

Kids patterns, adult patterns, dresses, tops, pants, shorts and lots of styles that immediately had us looking twice.

If you love digging through vintage patterns and imagining what you could make with them, come have a look. There are lots to go through, and only one of each!

Our sample books come from interior designers and other companies and are filled with beautiful, high-end upholstery and home decor fabrics. Perfect for piecing, pockets, patchwork and all kinds of smaller projects. And they’re only $3 a book.

Our Fun Packs are four curated pieces of fabric, each between 50 cm and 1 metre, for $8. And yes, we make sure they’re actually fun :)

We just added a colourful new batch of both.

We added almost 50 more fabrics, and there are some really lovely finds in there.

If you've never shopped our BOGO collection before, here's how it works: choose any fabric from the BOGO collection, then pick a second fabric from the same collection and you'll see one of them become free at checkout.

We had way too much fun filling this restock, and there are some really great fabrics waiting to be discovered.

Go have a dig through the collection. You never know what you might find.

This weekend, we’re featuring a specially curated collection full of bag-making fabrics, accessories, and hardware.

You’ll find webbing, buckles, handles, closures, vinyls, clear fabrics, waterproof-style materials, sturdy fabrics, and other really useful finds for totes, pouches, backpacks, cases, and more.

If bag making is your thing, this is an amazing drop to browse!

We curated a special collection of clasps, hooks and eyes, cups, and specialized elastics for all you undergarment makers.

So if your forte is lingerie making, bra making, swimwear, dancewear, activewear, or even mending your favourite undergarments, click the link below and have fun digging through the collection.

Sometimes it’s the little pieces that make the whole project work.

Our new Fasteners collection is full of buckles, hooks + eyes, D-rings, toggles, snap tapes and all kinds of other hardware for closures, straps, bags, garments and whatever else you’re working on.

There are lots of different styles, materials and sizes, so whether you have something specific in mind or you’re figuring it out as you go, have a look and see what you find.

We added a new option to make it easier to save your purchases to your Sewjo stash.

After you place an order, check your confirmation email for the 'Add to stash' button.
Click it, sign in or sign up, and then open the Sewjo app to see your stash.

We opened a Facebook group called FABCYCLE SEWING GROUP!

This Facebook group is our community space to inspire one another, support our fellow makers, and mostly, to connect over the love of everything fabrics, sewing, and creating our own projects from textile waste.

We hope you accept this invitation to join as we will be posting sneak peeks, really cool (and often weird and wonderful) things we get, sewing challenges, and exciting updates! :)
