As the evenings draw in, it's the perfect time to give your home a little lift. A new set of cushion covers, a cheerful blind or a fresh pair of curtains can change the whole feel of a room, and it doesn't have to cost much. We've picked out four newly added print fabrics, all 140cm wide and all currently reduced, that are ideal for autumn home makes.
Colourful Butterflies & Flowers Linen Look Fabric
If you love a relaxed, cottage-style look, this one is hard to beat. Colourful butterflies flutter among flowers on a digitally printed linen look fabric with a soft, natural texture. It's a medium weight cotton and polyester linen blend, so it sits nicely as curtains and blinds but also has enough body for cushions and light upholstery.
Price: £8.99 per metre (was £15.00)
Width: 140cm (55")

Red Eucalyptus Money Leaf Linen Look Fabric
For something calmer, this botanical print features eucalyptus money leaves in warm red tones on a natural linen look base. The warm colouring works beautifully in autumn and winter, and the full colour digital print keeps the leaf detail crisp. It's a lovely choice for a kitchen blind, a set of scatter cushions or curtains for a snug.

Abstract Pomegranate & Tulip Floral 100% Cotton Fabric
This is the bold one. Stylised pomegranates, tulips and foliage mix with painterly brushstroke textures and patchwork-style blocks in rich burgundy, mustard, green, blue and cream. Those deep, spicy colours feel right at home this time of year. It's a medium weight 100% cotton, so it's easy to cut and sew, and it's machine washable on a gentle cycle.
Use it for cushion covers, curtains, blinds, tote bags, aprons or patchwork. It's currently half price, which makes it a great fabric to experiment with.

It's a fun pick for children's rooms, bunting, bags, tablecloths, patchwork and quilting.

Easy Project Ideas for These Fabrics
- Envelope cushion covers: no zip needed and a great first project. Mix the butterfly print with the polka dots for a playful pairing.
- Roman or roller blinds: the linen look fabrics give a soft, natural finish to a kitchen or bathroom window.
- Tote bags and aprons: the pomegranate cotton is sturdy enough for everyday bags and makes a striking apron.
- Patchwork and quilting: cut squares from two or three of these prints for a colourful throw or wall hanging.
- Christmas gifts: handmade cushions, aprons and bags make thoughtful presents, and October is a great time to get started.
How Much Fabric Will You Need?
All four fabrics are 140cm wide, which is generous for home projects. For cushions, measure your cushion pad and add a little for seams and the envelope overlap. For curtains and blinds, measure your window first and allow extra for hems and pattern matching. Our How Much Fabric Do I Need? guide walks you through it step by step.
Each fabric is priced per metre, and if you order more than one metre your fabric is cut from the roll in one continuous length, which is handy for curtains and larger pieces.
