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

Returns and exchange details
If (shock, horror!) you are not satisfied with your Get Smitten goodies when they arrive - please convo me within 48hrs so that we can get the issue resolved. I like to have happy customers!

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. If a print is faded it will be mentioned, and I do not send out fabrics that have uneven fading, holes, stains or unpleasant smells! Please read the listing carefully before purchasing

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

Please note that I do not offer refunds on digital items as you will have downloaded them on to your computer hardware! Do take heed of this before purchasing and thank you for your understanding

Delivery
Once paid for, I endeavour to ship your Get Smitten goodies to you as quickly as possible. All items are carefully packaged to ensure protection in transit & in keeping with the Get Smitten mission statement, I try to re-use packaging materials wherever I can. Please don't be alarmed it your parcel looks a bit random...it's what's inside that counts!

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
