As some of you may know, I love pretty fabrics of every kind. I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs. I don’t smoke. But I do love to buy (lots of) beautiful fabrics. I have a gorgeous collection of materials that I have purchased all over the world and I use them on a daily basis. I may use a new fabric right away or I may even save it for years before using it. I often sit in my sewing room and look through my beloved materials and imagine what beautiful projects I could make with them (that’s what happens when you don’t have a TV).
Since living in Italy (for more than a decade) I’ve bought almost all of my fabrics outside of Italy. I really searched for shops here that had beautiful fabrics but I just couldn’t find any that really appealed to my taste. So after years of buying primarily in Canada (every time I return with a suitcase full), in Belgium (here is my favourite shop) and from Dutch online shops you can imagine how excited I was when I found out about the Italian online fabric shop SuperCut that is based out of the city of Bergamo. I’ve always been a huge fan of supporting local small businesses so this was a great find for me.
The very sweet French owner Marine has excellent taste in fabrics and after going through her shop I realised that she picks out pretty much every fabric brand and design that I myself am so fond of. It’s really a match made in heaven! You can find fabrics from Liberty, Petit Pan, Echino, Kokka, Kitsch Kitchen and many more. Marine stocks cottons, canvases, linens and even has a great selection of oilcloth and notions as well. And SuperCut ships all over Europe.
Yesterday I ordered my first SuperCut fabrics and they actually arrived in my mailbox this afternoon. I was like a kid at Christmas as I was opening the beautifully wrapped package. And everything I ordered was perfect. You can’t imagine how long I’ve been looking for fluo pink and yellow bias!
And as an added bonus many of the SuperCut fabrics are currently on sale (even the Echino and Kokka fabrics!). So pop on over and take a look!
Very pretty fabrics..Marine has great style and taste for sure! India is the textile treasurehouse of the world. You have to come here! You will go crazy…. Kanchan

One day I will Kanchan!! And I hope you can show me around all the textile shops and markets!
Perhaps it is just me in Australia, but I cannot seem to open the supercut site.
Strangely enough I also just tried and it doesn’t work. I also tried typing their web address directly in and it still isn’t opening. So I have a feeling their site is temporarily down. Try again later!
Hello , I am sorry the server is down since this morning. I am trying to work it out… I hope it will come back asap…
Hello Jillian and girls there, Supercut is back online now Finally! (I got a bit stressed today!)
Supercut is really what was missing in Italy! I love Atelier Brunette fabrics…can’t wait to sew up my shirt and wear it! Shipping was super fast for me too!
I know! I would love to see the shirt you sewed up! Any photos?
Hey, we all have our addictions 😀
And at least you make lots of pretty things with yours 😉
But seriously…you should see my fabric stash! It’s BIG!
