We strongly recommend washing your fabric in a delicate, cold, hand wash and hung up inside out or in the shade to maintain their best colour quality. If you would like to keep your colours vibrant, please handle with extra care: hand wash cold and do not tumble dry or dry clean.
We have done our very best to ensure that our photos are accurate. We take great care in shooting and editing our product images to achieve the best possible representation of the fabric hues. Due to the vast resolution variations between each screen, we cannot guarantee the colour online will be an exact match to what you see in person.
We do our best to ensure accurate descriptions on all products. Please note: as any artist would sign their work, you will often find the Ellie Whittaker logo on most of our designs in various scales and sizes.
Fabrics are pre-cut so as to maintain accurate stock levels. Where more than one metre is ordered from the drop down menu it will be sent as one continuous piece. However, if two pieces are ordered they cannot be combined to create one continuous piece.
