5 out of 5 starsI don't like leaving reviews; and what's more, I've really no time for sea views either. Hence, I suppose, my delay in commenting. As such, the purchase-process-delivery, was double-quick smart - packaged with care and consideration... ... And as pour le fabrique: the cat's whiskers! Therein, I did privately message Lisa my thanks, and was met by a tremendous esprit de generosite. Bravo!!

5 out of 5 starsExcellent service from Lisa - she explained that some of the fabric was no longer in stock and sent photos of alternatives- which I was able to choose from. Fabric was sent quickly arriving the next day - I've made a cushion cover from 2 of the pieces and planning to make more. Highly recommend buying vintage fabric from Lisa.

Smitten with it all...
I have been smitten with / addicted to designing and making since I was a little girl and Get Smitten was born out of me wanting to share my love of all things hand-made with the world
Get Smitten provides a carefully curated collection of limited edition vintage fabric fat quarters, sourced from my buying trips across Europe as a prop stylist. All my fabrics are laundered and checked for defects before being beautifully presented to you.
I am always conscious to describe any fading of a print - which is often to be expected with pre-loved fabrics as they have already lead a life before arriving at Get Smitten HQ. But rest assured, I do not sell fabrics with holes, stains or smells!
Shipping charges are fair and I always use a Royal Mail service with adequate insurance to cover both parties in the event of loss. There is a minimum shipping fee of £2.50 and additional items are calculated as combined shipping by the clever Etsy system.
For interactive fun and textile banter you will find me on the Get Smitten Facebook page

Shop policies
I source pre-loved vintage fabrics from across Europe for you to use in your sewing and craft projects as well as offering my original designs in the form of crochet or sewing patterns, which can be downloaded as soon as payment has been confirmed!
Occasionally I also offer vintage treasures that I have found along my prop styling adventures if I think you may love them too!
The aim at Get Smitten is to inspire creativity and provide the know-how to do it

Returns and exchange details
Please note: I do not issue refunds for a change of mind or for defect fabric - my listings detail the composition of the fabric (ie, cotton or polycotton etc) and also its pre-loved condition.

Sadly any return shipping will be at the buyers expense. Thank you for your understanding

Payment
Delivery
I use a priority service with UK Royal Mail, but do please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery within the EU and longer for the US or Australia. I ensure that shipping includes enough insurance to cover both parties in the event of loss during transit, certain items will require a signature on delivery but this will always be detailed in the listing
My shop is created in GBP £ but Etsy will automatically show you prices in your chosen currency. Please note that for customised orders, prices quoted will be in GBP. If you wish to know what this is in your own currency then please use an online converter and understand that I cannot be responsible for the exchange rate! Larger & heavier orders will incur higher charges due to the Royal Mail using size and weight as their pricing guide.
Please also note that I am in no way responsible for any costs you may incur from import duty or state tax.
My digital pdf patterns are now available for immediate download as soon as your payment has been confirmed - nice and easy, anytime, anywhere!

Frequently asked questions
Sizing details
What is a fat quarter, I hear you cry?! It is a term widely used in the patchwork and crafting world that denotes a quarter of a meter of fabric. In order to give a more useful area to work with, they take a meter of fabric and quarter it by length and width so that you have a 'fat' quarter rather than a long one
They are 18 x 22" or 45 x 55cm
Custom and personalised orders
If you require pieces of vintage fabric larger than a fat quarter, please message me with you requirements. I have enough in stock I am happy to oblige.
My fabrics are pre-loved sheeting and so are not available by the meter or yard as with traditional fabrics - please let me know your desired size and will measure the amount I have left in stock
If you purchase multiples of one fabric, I will always try to provide it as one cut piece wherever possible. I will message you before dispatching your order if this is not possible
