For an even more personalised feel you can use old textiles in your patchwork such as cuttings from old baby clothes/blankets. At BST we also stock a range of fabric panels which can be added to your patchwork.
If you’re not a fan of whimsical décor, these decorative fabric pumpkins make a chic change to the cheap plastic ones you usually find in your local bargain store. You can choose any fabric you wish to create the pumpkins but we’ve listed some of our favourites below.
