When it comes to sourcing beautiful, bag-worthy fabrics, it’s always a joy to stumble across someone who not only gets what we’re after but also genuinely loves helping fellow makers. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Cracker Fabrics, run by the ever-lovely Shirley Evans. Whether you’re a regular in her community or just discovering her collection, I promise – you’re in for a treat!
Let me paint the picture – a shop full of fabulous cottons, lush canvases, striking upholstery fabrics and some of the softest faux leathers you’ll get your hands on. That’s Cracker Fabrics. Shirley has built a collection that’s absolutely perfect for bag making – and trust me, she knows her stuff.
What makes Shirley stand out isn’t just the variety (though that’s brilliant on its own), it’s her personal touch. She’s always there to offer advice, answer questions and lend a bit of sewing wisdom when needed. Honestly, it feels more like you’re chatting with a friend than shopping from a business.
One of my favourite things is seeing the stunning makes shared in her Facebook group – it’s constantly full of gorgeous bags made by her lovely community using her fabrics. It’s a great spot to pick up inspiration and share your own creations, too.
While I stock all the hardware and interfacing you’ll need for your projects over at Me Made Makes, Shirley’s shop is a brilliant go-to for fabric that’ll bring your bag to life – whether it’s a classic cotton lining or a statement-making faux leather exterior.
If you're after lovely fabrics, a helpful hand, and a warm community, Cracker Fabrics should definitely be on your radar. Shirley’s passion for what she does shines through in every order, every post, and every message. Pop over to her Facebook group to soak up some inspiration, and don’t be surprised if you leave with a full basket and a big smile!
For all your hardware and interfacing, don’t forget I’ve got you covered at Me Made Makes – and then let Cracker Fabrics do the rest!
Until next time, Happy sewing and may your bobbin always be full
