Fabric
At Franklins Colchester (Head Office) we are extremely proud of our 10,000 square foot store.
Dress fabrics
A large area of the shop is dedicated to stocking a great selection of evening wear, casual, bridal, basic and fashion fabrics. On average we stock over 2,200 different fabrics at any one time. Plus, with new season fabrics coming in monthly and additional fabrics coming in weekly, you can rest assured that we’re the best place to pick up the latest dress fabrics.
Dress patterns
Looking to start a new project? Have a look through our dress pattern books. We stock patterns from the leading manufacturers Simplicity, Butterick, McCall’s, Burda, Vogue and New Look to help you on your new creative journey.
Upholstery
Our upholstery departments are available at our Colchester, Ipswich and Salisbury stores. We have recently increased our upholstery departments so we can offer customers a larger selection of fabrics and upholstery accessories, with over 100 different prints of upholstery fabrics, vinyl, table protectors and upholstery accessories.
Cut-to-size foam service – Want to replace the thin and uncomfortable foam in your sofa? We stock 1″, 2″, 3″, 4″ and 5″ thick foam. Come in or contact us with your required measurements (even better, a template) and we will cut the foam for you. We can even cut foam for musical instrument cases.
If you have any questions or would like to know if we have a particular fabric or dress pattern in stock, please call or email your nearest Franklins store.
