The best thing about Fridays – apart from the weekly issue of Gathered by Mollie Makes being out – is getting to earmark pretty fabrics. And today is no different; get a load of these beauties on Spoonflower!

[Clockwise from top-left] 1. First up is Earth Up by Sharon Turner. We’re thinking they’d make great curtains for a little dude’s bedroom. 2. Someone hand us a shirt waist dress pattern! Green Olives by Holli Zollinger is a striking fabric that deserves only the best stitches.

3. Entangled is only one of Hang Tight Studio‘s brilliant collection of designs. Check out her stuff on Spoonflower. 4. We simply can’t get enough colourful geometric prints. Triangle Clouds by Cristina Pires makes us a little lightheaded – simply splendid!

There’s nothing quite like slipping in between fresh, cool sheets – right? With the new season well under way, thick winter sheets have cheerfully been ripped off and now we’ve set our hearts on some lovely linens! Here’s a few of our favourites.

DIY bedding tutorials

[Clockwise from top-left] 1. Learn how to turn your vintage fabrics into wonderful bedding. 2. Decorate your pillowcase with clouds (rain not included) – find the tute in the latest issue of Mollie Makes. 3. Ombre, ombre! We love the idea of dip-dying bedding. 4. Sleep well with neon polka dots.

Affordable bedding: under £100

[Clockwise from top-left] We’ve found some lovely, affordable bedding from Firm Living, an eiderdown at Rowen & Wren, pretty, patterned IKEA bed covers and Orla Kiely bedding in John Lewis. Each one’s a great purchase if you’re on a budget.

Treat yourself bedding: over £100

[Clockwise from top-left] Sometimes a really nice quilt finds its way into your basket. Quilt sets like Anthropologie‘s pilar bedding; or Cloud Hunter‘s ivory dream with rosettes and macrame; or Beci Orpin’s colourful quilt for Urban Outfitters - and why not, you deserve it!

[Clockwise from top-left] 1. We’d like lengths and lengths of Miami Fabrics‘ Flamingo Park print just so we can drape it over everything. 2. Johanna‘s flamingo design would make a perfect summer bag. Here’s a super-quick tutorial on how to make a tote bag. 3. Pop over to Mandalina Rossa for a vintage goodie: this fabric is perfect if you’re making a 40s dress. 4. Love these large-scale, wonky polka dots by Domesticate.

1. Lace Fun has a wide range of lace fabric for you to mull over. We especially love their white cotton floral design with symmetrical leaves. So Scandi!

2 and 3. Miraculous Fabrics has a lace trim collection we like so much we chose two of our favourites: intricately designed, ivy-like, handmade trim and featured below in pastel pink is another lace fabric complete with spring butterflies.

4. This French embroidered lace is ever so elegant and dainty. Head over to Lace Time for this beige beauty.

Yay, it’s spring! And we’re celebrating with a few of our favourite pastel prints, perfect for making rucksacks, rabbits and pretty, play-time dresses.

[Clockwise from top-left] 1. Ravynaka’s Loves Me, Loves Me Not design has us falling head over heels. Loves you! 2. Urban Mod’s Triangularity Topaz reminds us of picnic bunting and constellations. 3. Flea Market Fancy in pastel pink is simply gorgeous! Combine with a lemon yellow print for a spring quilt design. 4. If Julia Rothman designed a range of perfume bottles, this is what they’d look like… bet they’d smell of spring too!

Inspired by Emma Lamb’s daisy chain tutorial in the latest issue of Mollie Makes, this week’s Fabric Friday is a bright and breezy one.

[Clockwise form top-left] 1.  Vivian Duncas’ large-scale design of paint strokes reminds us of crafting outdoors. 2. Gudrun Sjoden’s lovely spring caramel leggings simply must find their way into our waredrobes – they simply must! Oh, if you’re in the London area today, visit them on Monmouth Street for International Women’s Day festivities after 4:30pm. And don’t forget to grab a goodie bag; there’s a copy of Mollie Makes in each.

3. Make a pastel-perfect quilt in Country Stitches’ confetti print. Warning: this fabric looks good enough to eat and may result in your bed looking like a giant cake. Bon appetit! 4. If you’ve got a dress pattern waiting to be used, then Aneela Hoey’s Posy Bouquet print will help you make that 50s dress in no time.

If we could start a craft circus, our performance tent would be made from every print we’ve featured on Fabric Fridays, our circus animals would be crocheting cats and tickets would be delivered by the elephant caddy featured in issue 23 of Mollie Makes. Sound fun?

Mr Polar Bear by Ravynka would definitely be our ringmaster. You can’t go to the circus and not have any popcorn – so this popcorn print is a perfect addition to our circus fabric roundup.

Owl and Drum have a harlequin print that we think would make a pretty lampshade (have a look in issue 20 to find a tutorial on how to make one).

Juggling lions in our circus – heck yes! – as long as they juggle balls of yarn.
