25.01.2022 After six long months, our little bonus woven labels are finally back!! Woven in Denmark from 100% cotton and Oeko Tex certified, one of these little beauties goes out with every online order as a little thank you (happy to give one to instore visitors too, just ask if you’d like one with your purchase ). While waiting for these, we’ve been sending out Soak samples or fabric pieces suitable for mask making, always nice to get a little treat when opening a package, methinks! It’s a bit hard to read in the pic but front of card reads ‘Fibresmith: one who crafts natural fibre textiles or yarn into items that are beautiful, meaningful and/or useful’ #iamafibresmith

23.01.2022 Beautiful gifts for weavers, loom or basket: Fibresmith Hand Dyed Alpaca Linen Silk, Making magazine featuring a shawl weaving pattern by Amanda @theweaversworkroom, handy Japanese forged steel snips, Soak for washing and blocking and gorgeous weaving needle set, hand carved in Sydney from reclaimed paulownia timber

22.01.2022 Three big boxes of The Assembly Line’s fantastic patterns arrived today!! We’re restocked on everything (yes, including the Cuff Top and Cuff Dress you’ve been waiting for ) and are super pleased to welcome the new addition Oversized Shirt to the mix. Available in two size ranges, this is a classic button up with a comfy, oversized fit, perfect to wear as a tunic or lengthen to a dress. We also now have the Three Pleat Skirt available on the larger size range #talpatterns #taloversizedshirt

21.01.2022 I’ve just added this gorgeous collection of pinstripe cotton knits to our online shop, beautifully soft and with 5% spandex for great recovery, these are perfect for tees, undies, wrap dresses, etc. I’ve got a metre of the Khaki (second pic) washed up and ready, debating between a tee and some Assembly Line PJ Shorts... just might need to make both!

21.01.2022 Tis that time of year again, when we run around like maniacs trying to find some little token to show appreciation to the ones we love. Crafty folk can be a bit tricky to buy for as there are so many options and we all have so much stuff! I’ve put together a few flat lay gift guides with the best of the best, whatever your craft - and note: there is something askew in almost every pic, I discovered when editing so apologies in advance for any eye twitching they may cause T...oday we’ve got some beautiful and useful options for the knitting folk: a Cloud Mountain Cowl Kit, Ochre beanie pattern with yarn, gorgeous copy of Amirisu magazine with loads of patterns included, handy and beautiful tools like a metal stitch holder, sweet Puford scissors, Soak wool wash and a Lykke crochet hook for picking up those inevitable dropped stitches. We have a whole big Gift section, organised by price ranges, in our online shop too! Find it in the main menu under Gifts, tons of great options

18.01.2022 You want the Sweary labels?? We got the Sweary labels!! Online now

16.01.2022 Remember that gorgeous black Japanese seersucker that flew out the door? We just got a bolt in this stunning green... Beautiful new lightweight cottons from Japan on our homepage now and more added tomorrow!

14.01.2022 I’ve been sitting on the fence for months, trying to decide which dress pattern I want to use with this amazing Japanese cotton/linen tartan. I’m leaning towards a sleeveless Hinterland but I need to trace out a smaller size and my laziness is making me swing back to the Camber, which I’ve got ready to go... I know both will be great in the fabric and good for layering in cooler weather... Gah, decisions! #hinterlanddress #camberset

13.01.2022 So this is finally happening... Finished pics on the shop mannequin next week! #talcuffdress #talpatterns

13.01.2022 Preorders for the new issue of Laine are now available on our homepage!! I’ve been absolutely blown away by the gorgeous teaser pics they’ve been sharing with us and am so excited to get my hands on this Release date is December 11th and providing our stock arrives in time (international shipping is still pretty inconsistent), we’ll be sending them out to arrive as close to this date as possible! #lainemagazine #lainemagazine10

12.01.2022 We’ll be closed on Friday this week but open Saturday from 10am til 4pm to welcome local friends and visitors from out of town! Perfect day to stock up on project supplies to get you through school holidays if you’ve got kids at home too

11.01.2022 It’s been a big week for pattern deliveries! We’re restocked with lovelies from Closet Core, Sew House Seven and Merchant & Mills Anything we’re still out of stock of from these were not available to order but we have new stock arriving all the time so do sign up for an email stock notification for the ones you’re waiting on.

09.01.2022 A few of my favourite shelves Can you spot the precious restocks of hand woven ikat from India and yarn dyes from Japan that arrived this week? (Hint: tap the pic )

09.01.2022 Someone is in for some serious wardrobe building!! I just had to grab a pic of this gorgeous collection before I wrapped them up to send out today - how exciting would it be to open this bundle???! Pure joy and endless POTENTIAL

08.01.2022 So, fellow Victorians, how’s everybody going in lockdown? Aside from sending out a big bundle of orders (thanks, folks!), I have done very little. Finally cast on an 8ply version of the #verticesunite shawl after talking about it for 8 months and decided I needed a top out of the Khaki and shorts out of the Black knit that I showed last post - fabric has been washed, maybe this afternoon I’ll get to the cutting. I think the not knowing whether or not the lockdown will be extended is adding to the ennui but either way, Fibresmith will have you covered for Local Pickups starting Thursday. Either we’ll be open and you can pop in or we’ll be online only with pickups available between 10am and 2pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday

07.01.2022 And we’re back in business!! We look so forward to seeing you tomorrow, Friday and Saturday from 10am til 4pm And that fabric right there, just another of the beautifully soft knits that we got in recently - our knit section is looking fantastic at the moment, if I do say so myself

03.01.2022 Two big boxes from Sweden have arrived and we’ve got the full @theassemblylineshop range in stock now! New arrivals include the latest pattern, the super versatile Multi Sleeve Midi Dress, in two size ranges, plus the Lab Coat and Puff Shirt in the XL-3XL range #talmultisleevemididress #talmultimididress #talpuffshirt #tallabcoat

03.01.2022 Our most beautiful, jet black Japanese seersucker is finally back in stock - and it brought an ivory friend!! We’ve been waiting (not so) patiently for this one to come back and made sure to order LOTS so we don’t sell out as quickly as last time Polly (@nuno_studio on Instagram) has made the most gorgeous dress with this one, it’s the third photo in her feed currently and, besides looking fabulous on her, really shows off the features of this cotton perfectly! I’m thinking I might need a black seersucker #remytop or a #mmflorencetop ... of course another #wikstenshifttop could never be a bad idea either...

02.01.2022 Adding more and more Japanese fabrics to the shop by the day but had to give a special mention to this luscious 100% cotton waffle weave we received from France!! Super soft, lush and Oekotek Certified, this is the spa robe waffle of your dreams

02.01.2022 Home lockdown pics of a WIksten Shift Top I finished the other day in our gorgeous Crumpled Japanese Cotton/Linen in Brick Red, perfect for coming Autumn days I can’t even count how many Wiksten Shifts I have made, between the dress and the top, and don’t see my obsession ending any time soon, it’s just the perfect boxy hero. Here’s to a wardrobe full of Free Range Slacks and Wiksten Shift Tops forever #wikstenshift #wikstenshifttop #freerangeslacks
