SEWING PATTERNS FOR QUILTED FABRIC

Have pre-quilted fabrics caught your eye? Maybe you’ve already succumbed to their squashy call and are stuck for what to make with them. Pre-quilted fabrics do what they say on the tin. The fiddly quilting is done for you so you can get on with sewing a piece that is bang on the quilted trend without investing all that time. You can find them in cotton, sweatshirting, coating and more!

If you want to make something with this trending fabric before the weather warms up, I have all the need-to-know patterns. Enjoy this little edit of sewing patterns, preferably with a big mug of something hot and a cosy blanket.
