Welcome to Fabric By The Yard 💛
We’re a proud family-run business based in Leicester, with a story that goes back generations.
Our Story
Our journey began many years ago as manufacturers of elastic, supplying high-quality materials to the clothing industry. As time went on, we grew into embroidery, carefully crafting detailed designs, and then into garment manufacturing, producing clothing for retailers across the UK.
Today, we are a third-generation British business, built on experience, craftsmanship, and a genuine love for textiles.
From Factory to You
For years, we worked behind the scenes—creating garments and supplying fabrics to businesses. But we realized something important… Why should these beautiful, high-quality, factory-grade fabrics only be available to large companies?
So we decided to open things up—to make these same materials available to you. Whether you’re sewing for yourself, your family, or others, you deserve access to the same quality fabrics used in professional manufacturing.
What We Believe
At the heart of everything we do is a simple idea:
👉 We want to give back.
We believe sewing is more than just a hobby—it’s a skill, a passion, and for many, a way to create something truly special.
Our goal is to:
- Make quality fabrics more accessible
- Support home sewing and creativity
- Help you bring your ideas to life
There’s something incredibly rewarding about making your own clothes—and we’re here to be a small part of that journey.
Made By You
One of the things we love most is seeing what our customers create. From dresses and blouses to gifts for loved ones—every piece tells a story.
We would absolutely love to:
- See what you’ve made
- Share your creations (with your permission, of course)
- Celebrate your work with our community
Because this isn’t just about fabric—it’s about what you create with it.
A Personal Touch
As a family business, we care deeply about what we do and the people we serve. We aim to offer:
- Friendly, helpful service
- Reliable quality
- A personal touch you can trust
If you ever need help choosing a fabric or have a question, we’re always here for you. Thank you for supporting a small, family-run UK business. It truly means a lot to us 💛
