Announcing the new look M is for make and 15% off!

So I hinted that I was busy working away on something behind the scenes. And am both excited and a little nervous to announce the new look M is for make. The shop had outgrown it's old home and the new one has much improved navigation and searching whilst still having the simple, clean look that I love.

Here are some of the new features.

Improved product browsing and sharing

In each product, you can go on to browse by collection, designer or manufacturer. You can also easily share your favourite fabrics on Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest.

 Shop by theme

There are loads of new ways to search the shop, looking for a solid, dotty or animal based fabric? here is the place to look.

Shop by designer or manufacturer

There is an A to Z of designers and manufacturers so that you can find exactly what you are after.

Shop by type

Looking for a fabric suitable for dressmaking, organic or that is extra wide? this is the place to look.

Coming soon

All fabrics that are coming soon to M is for make will be listed here and you can sign up for a notification when they arrive.

New

There is lovely new fabric including Running Stitch by Patty Young.

And finally, simplified shipping, you can find out more here. But all UK orders will now cost £2.75.

I think that about covers it! I am really excited about the new look shop and to celebrate there is 15% off all orders until 18th July 8pm GMT. Enter the code NEW12 at the checkout. (You enter the code after you have been through the paypal checkout and come back to the shop).

The week in photos ... and a spoiler

Another week is over, time really does seem to be flying by at the moment. I am still busy behind the scenes working on something new and exciting (spoiler to follow).

Snapping some pretty fabric bundles for that behind the scenes project. I love how this Flea Market Fancy and Summersville fabric look together.

Making slow progress on my Quilt Blocks quilt, finally getting to grips with my seam allowances. Time is still a bit limited for sewing so I cram it in where I can even if it means having a 5 year old helper handing me pins. It adds a new, unpredictable and pointy element to my sewing.

I love how it is coming together though. I am making half the blocks on a grey background and the other half on a Kona snow background.

I feel like we have been cooped up because of the rain this week. So we took advantage to get out after school on a steamy afternoon after the rain. We did come home covered in mud from the knees down.

Arrival of the beautiful Simpatico by Cloud 9 fabrics. I love this collection, particularly this one.

And finally, a spoiler of what has been taking up all my time, but I can't wait to share it with you very soon.

Happy weekend all!
