25.01.2022 I am really glad its a public holiday today. Feeling at least 1 hour behind where I should be. Hopeful to find some time today for my #sixforsummer plans. Which have all changed since this nostalgia rose silk noil arrived! Lots if samples were packaged up for this beautiful shade + the rust over the weekend. If youd like to see it in person - head to the website + grab some swatches! Free to all AU + NZ orders + only $3 to the US! ... #silknoil #nostalgiarose #nostalgiarosefabric #fabricstore

25.01.2022 Lots of continued interest in our French Terry, even as we approach the warmer months here in Aus. I wasnt going to restock them until February, but it seems there is still many of us wearing + wanting to sew with them. Ive set up a preorder on the website if youre interested in getting your hands on some of this lovely stuff before the new year. Big thanks to @modo.makes Megan for this great shot of her #mnjarrah in our dusty rose French Terry. Let me know below if you guys are interested in other colours, or would also like matching ribbing for cuffs + the like?

24.01.2022 What’s your favourite colour combination with navy? I know the saying ‘blue + green should never be seen’ but I can’t go past a navy + olive.. Search ‘Midnight’ on the website if you’re looking for our navy linen. ... #aandrlinen #navylinen #navylinenfabric #fabricstore

23.01.2022 Weve added this super fun + functional collection of @kylieandthemachine labels to the website! I had to keep a natural fibres set for myself - I just love them! Ill have to add the Wool label to my first make in our new #merinojersey - arriving soon! ... #katm #sewinglabels #fabricstore #australianfabricstore

23.01.2022 Absolutely love Alyses #wikstenhaori made up in our pink Ikat! Pop over to @maeandbjorn To take a closer look + read about the collar mods. Im definitely trying the interfacing suggestion on my next version..

23.01.2022 Two other newbies to let you know about! First up, our softened, washed linen in classic Navy. Secondly a new colour in our classic 160gsm Linen - Pebble. ... A great neutral, stone / light warm grey colour. A lovely choice to tie together all of those other solids + prints in your wardrobe, when youre looking for something other than white.. As always, swatches available on the website.

22.01.2022 Packing up lots of swatch parcels today! So many gorgeous colour palettes being put together.. Ill also be working on updating the website to allow you to shop (plan/dream ) by searching cool or warm.... I know myself being a cool colour person, sometimes its hard to find the fabrics that will work for my colouring. Some of them Im a little stuck on which category they fall into, so Ill be asking you guys on my stories today!

21.01.2022 Mulberry Boy, oh boy am I excited to see this colour out in the wild.. Available this afternoon after 5pm. ... Theres still time get your entry into the draw for our linen giveaway. See our Magenta post from earlier this week for all the details! Giveaway closes at 4pm this afternoon. #aandrlinen #linengiveaway #fabricgiveaway #newfabric

21.01.2022 Joanne's incredible #M7969 in our 'Caramel' linen is the garment that finally tipped me over the edge for voluminous sleeves. I resisted for so long, loving them on others, but worrying that they would be impracticable for me. I've become such a planner / wardrobe strategist that sometimes I forget to just make for joy and heart fulfilment! Does anyone experience this?! Most of our #aandrlinen collection has been restocked and is now available on the website. ... Mulberry + Pandanus returning shortly.

20.01.2022 There’s some pattern paralysis going on over here... For those of you that wear dresses, would you make a #tudorblouse dress or a #bhlhannah in this beautiful window pane ikat cotton?

20.01.2022 @sophie.sews rockin her @frenchnavynow_ #stellantee in our B+W stripe knit. I think there may be about 6 or 7 other makers with the same awesome tee out there! I honestly wear my mine at least twice a week + its definitely reached way beyond #30wears. My sewjo has been MIA for the last few months. Its felt a little like an extra layer of overwhelm? I think a simple knit project could help spark a little creative joy though..... Anyone else dipping their toes in this weekend after a sewing break?

19.01.2022 Hello all! A quick update on our packaging options. I listened to all of your feedback + decided it was best to offer three choices.... When placing your order with A+R you may now select your choice of packaging. Please use the drop down menu in the delivery section of the checkout page. This menu will offer you the options available to your postal address. AU customers may now choose from padded paper mailer, compostable mailer or recycled / recyclable mailer. NZ customers have the option of compostable mailers or recycled / recyclable mailers. This way, you can do what you consider the best option. I understand not all households have the the ability to compost or to receive paper parcels if your mail is delivered to an area that is not weather protected. You can read more about our plastic free packaging in the FAQ page on our website. Trin, x

18.01.2022 Ive fallen off the #makenine wagon. Please tell me Im not the only one?! I didnt have a single pair of pants on my make nine, but Ive added three pairs to my wardrobe since FEB. Clearly, I am heavily influenced by @maeandbjorn with her incredible pants collection! A perfect example shown here with her @sewliberated #arthurpants in our golden #aandrlinen.... #makeallthepants #handmadefashion #linenpants #fabricstoreaustralia #australiasews #sewingwithlinen

18.01.2022 Our black 100% cotton broderie anglaise is now available. I cant wait to see how everyone interprets this textural beauty! Its lightweight + would work beautifully for all of the billowing sleeves we all cant seem to get enough of! ... I see a #tudorblouse dress in my near future.. #cottoneyelet #blackcottoneyelet #blackbrodwrieanglaise #broderieanglaise #blackcottonlace #uniquefabric

18.01.2022 Have you seen what @melt.stitches + @sarah.eloise.sews have been working on today? Pop over + check out their stories for a fun sew-along they’re doing together. Both sewists are working with our ‘Caramel’ linen to create individual pieces! This colour is such a chameleon - hints of rust, gold + brown can be seen in different lights. ... If you haven’t already, please feel free to order a swatch card to see our Caramel + all of our other linen colours. #aandrlinen #caramellinen #rustlinen #oekotexcertifiedfabrics

18.01.2022 Incredible images from @elbe_textiles latest shoot with @catblackphoto Love seeing Laurens #somerfieldcoat created from our black #silknoil.

You can take the girl out of Melbourne, but youll never get the black out of her wardrobe!
