How do I order the required amount of fabric?
We sell our fabric in 0.5m (50cm) increments. If, for example, you require 2.5m of fabric, enter ‘5’ into the unit box. Orders of more than 1 unit will be cut in a continuous length. Please be sure to check the fabric width information as our fabrics will be of various widths. If you are unsure of how much is required for your project or if sometimes you see a fabric you like without yet having a project in mind, we would recommend buying a ‘safe’ amount or a little bit extra as lots of our fabrics are deadstock or limited in quantity and will not be restocked.
My fabric has a wonky edge!
Sometimes fabric arrives with us from our suppliers with unevenly cut edges. In order to avoid waste and give the customer the benefit of additional fabric (often helpful if having to play pattern tetris!), we will usually include this unevenly cut edge, ensuring that we still cut at least the quantity of fabric ordered by the customer (from the shortest edge of the length of fabric). Uneven or wonky edges are often found in our remnants/end of bolts but please rest assured we will always measure the shortest edge when providing fabric length. An unevenly cut edge will not be a ground for a refund or exchange.
Fabric Colour & Texture
We do our best to accurately show the colours and texture of our fabric. Screen resolution and brightness varies between devices so please bear in mind that the colour and texture of the fabric in real life might appear slightly different from how it is viewed on your device.
Samples, etc
Whilst we try to capture the colour and texture of our fabrics as accurately as possible, these can vary between screens and in person. If you are not sure about the colour or feel of a fabric before buying, we are happy to capture the fabric as best we can in video and additional photos - please email georgie@heysewsister.co.uk or give us a shout on instagram @heysewsister.co.uk. We can also arrange for a sample to be sent to you. We offer up to 3 sample swatches for free with Royal Mail second class postage to the UK. Please email georgie@heysewsister.co.uk if you wish to order a sample/samples. We would be delighted to help!
If in doubt, please do not hesitate to ask!
What is your returns policy?
We are a small business and are only able to offer returns and refunds on faulty products. We try our best to quality check our fabric before posting so would hope this not to be an issue however we process A LOT of fabric so we can miss things - sorry! The cost of postage will be refunded along with the price of the item if the item is shown to be faulty. Please contact us georgie@heysewsister.co.uk before returning anything to us and to discuss options.
