This
is the time of year when you start to think in earnest about changing
over to your warmer weather wardrobe. If you're anything like me, as you
pull out the old summer favourites you can't help but long for some new
things to add in to the mix, and if that's the case then our talented
designers have produced some beautiful pieces that will help you refresh
your wardrobe:
The long awaited collection from Ages of Elegance is inspired by 1930’s cruise outfits, and includes the following...
Fitted cotton Chinese style dress with button front and low back, available in a variety of colours £90.
Double
layer cotton voile dress with smocking details, wooden butterfly
buttons and wooden bead strap, £85 available in several colour ways and
lengths.
Double layer cotton voile trousers with ribbon fastening £95 available in several colour ways and lengths.
Silk top with bead straps, £65
Full circle skirt with smocking detail and double layer £95 available in several colour ways and lengths.
And
for the wee ones, Spider & Fly and Little Sewing Me have some
gorgeous items fresh in store, some of which I wish came in adult sizes!
Vintage inspired pieces from Little Sewing Me...
And some beautiful pieces from Spider and Fly...

As per usual for the time of year we've had a lot of new sellers arrive recently to join us in Fabrication, so we thought it was about time we gave you a round-up of who's new in store. So, in no particular order, we are pleased to introduce to you...
Creation Crafts
Creation crafts sell both finished products or, for the crafter, the paper is available in sheets. The beautiful designs are based on kimono fabrics and are all hand printed in Japan.
Little Wings Butterflies
If you are looking for an unique and bespoke little gift come and have a look at my beautiful butterfly frames. Each one is handmade with paper cut butterflies and mounted with their wings slightly bent to give a lovely eye catching 3D effect . I create different pieces each time but I can make personal frames to order by adding a name, date of birth or any colour scheme. Please find me on Facebook or go to Fabrication for more info.
Zoe Barber Design
Handmade jewellery in silver with quirky detail in brass, copper and polymer clay.
Street Lane Framing
I frame all items from pictures to shirts. Make mirrors and undertake various crafting projects. You name it, we frame it.
Pattern Passion
Preeti's love for nature reflects in her designs which she draws and paints with passion. These unique handmade patterns adorn silk womenswear, scarves, cushions, purses, wristlets and art prints.
Spider & Fly
At Spider & Fly I believe childhood is too short for boring clothing. I try to create colourful and exciting clothes for babies and toddlers that are also functional. It all started when i hady son and was disappointed with boys clothing on the high street - not willing to settle I started making things that were fun and made to last.
Hollybush
At Hollybush we run training short courses in basic woodwork open to everyone. Alongside this we have ongoing sessions for adults with learning disability and mental health recoverers. Producing items to a saleable standard is an important part of our ethos.
We make simple items from recycled pallets and sustainably sourced new timber. Some items are hand painted mainly by two talented ladies from Poland. A range of larger items and bespoke commissions can be obtained by contacting us.
Delighted to bring our curve roofed hedgehog homes, robin boxes, boot pulls and painted trugs to Fabrication.
We are planning to involve several of our long term volunteers in supporting our unit at Fabrication.
Guppy's Chocolates
Guppy's Chocolates are Peter and Fran Guppy and
we are passionate about all things chocolate! All our delicious
chocolates are handmade & hand packaged from our family-run premises
in York. We pride ourselves on
carrying on the family traditions of the Rowntrees and Terry's families,
handmaking great quality chocolates in the City of York.
Naturally Thinking
High quality aromatherapy based products made from carefully sourced ingredients.
Beyond Benefits
Luxury handmade body products made using aromatherapy principles to benefit your body and mind
What a difference 3 years makes! Today marks Fabrication's third birthday, the perfect time to look back at how far we've come.
In the beginning it was just a shell of a shop, with marks on the wall left from the previous occupants:
But it took shape, and in October 2012 we were proud to open our doors to the public with 40 sellers:
180 sellers have joined us since then. Our shop in The Light is brimming with beautiful handmade goods from our 83 sellers, some of whom are still with us from that first day:
In celebration of our shop going from strength to strength we have filled our windows with items from each of our sellers, and there is of course birthday cake to share the celebration with our customers today.
We are also launching our brand new store loyalty card, as a thank-you to all our customers for keeping on supporting us.
Here's to the next three years!
Font Not Found was created by husband and wife designers Lucy & Greg Shaw. Both have a life-long love of words, type and big letters, oh and T-Shirts and drawing. So naturally they’ve put together a range of type T-shirts based on their letter sketches.
Lucy is originally from Somerset & Greg from South Yorkshire but both studied Graphic design at college before meeting each other on one of their first Graphic Design jobs in Bradford. They both enjoy working (scribbling) together from their home in Bingley. Lucy constantly has to resist the urge to spell rude words out in product shots.
Font Not Found currently have two fonts available across kids, women’s and men’s T-shirts, tote bags and gym sacs as custom orders. We’ve been in the fabulous Fabrication shop since June with a selection of our kids T-shirts, where you can also make an order for your letter of choice.
