How are we? I thought I'd finally try to put my website together and let you know what it will look like. I don't want this to be a selling site, I simply can't keep up with the turnover of the shop. Also, most people that sew, craft and work in any way with fabric, would much rather physically touch the fabric. This will be more a place where I can show my makes, give hints and tips and have a general crafty yap. Like my dress from the Best of Welsh , last year. Yes I made the dress, and yes I won my category! If you're new to Mam's Fabrics , that's me. We are a small business, in South Wales , I say we because my husband is my biggest cheerleader and my Saturday boy. I've also taught him to sew, the picture below is the denim shirt he made: We are parents of three adults, grandparents to one child. Family will always come first to us. The shop is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10am - 4pm, unless (like the 31st of January 2026, our youngest sons 18th) family li...
I started this full of good intentions, then my middle age brain decided to forget all about it! For those of you that come into the shop, this will be no surprise.

I finally braved my first ever quilt ! I've been sewing since I was a child but a blanket is not something I've ever tried. I think it's the accuracy of the cutting that has put me off, when making clothes, or crafting, I'm not particularly fussy. When it comes to the patchwork part of a blanket, you really need those squares to match. I was lucky enough to have a cheat. I had been given a packet of 25cm x 25cm squares , a few years ago, but I've never quite worked out what to do with them...tada! The squares went together really well, I'm so pleased. I backed it with some woven back fleece that I'm selling ...
There's been some new stock arriving at the shop this past week: Apart from the Gingham, which is £3.50, all the fabric is 100% cotton and £6 per metre. There's also some new wool stock coming soon! If any of the fabric interests you, please get in touch, I can post to anywhere within the UK. As always thank you for the support for our small business. Jo 💕 Mam's Fabrics
