Introducing our BTK Fabric NZ collection!

100% linen fabric nz selection

Deep, vibrant, soft, and muted hues all make up our first collection of BTK fabric NZ New Zealand.


In 2016 I wrote on my Facebook wall “Can I have a career caressing fabric?” while I was sewing a birthday dress for myself.

Fast forward through 5 years of designing and selling my own sewing patterns; suppliers have been met, cutting tables have been built, and my first shipment of fabric has arrived. I’m excited to be offering fabric nz!

Washed during the fabric manufacturing process to show off a lovely textured, slubby finish that we love so much about linen! Despite the word “washed”, always pre-wash your new fabric before sewing!

The fabric is sold in 0.5m increments and cut as a continuous length. So if you want 1m, order x2. If you want 2m, order x4 etc.

As this is a brand new product available for our Below the Kōwhai sewists, I wasn’t sure how well received it would be!

If they do well (you like them, they sell!) I have more colorways, and fabric content lined up for the future. They are exciting and inspiring and I hope I get to deliver them to you!

Let this new fabric range inspire your handmakes. It will compliment our existing BTK sewing patterns, and other sewing projects you plan to create.

I can’t wait to see what you create with our new fabric range! Please share your Makes in our VIP Community, or use the tag #BTKfabric and @belowthekowhai

Love and happy sewing,
