New designs from our favourite Australian designer

A fresh mollymolly delivery for spring: painted checks, chickens, bananas, cheetahs - it's got it all.
Designed in Melbourne · just landed
Fancy Ladies Cotton/Linen
Fancy Ladies Cotton/Linen mollymolly
Made for easy shapes.
Think loose shirts, simple dresses, wide trousers and full skirts. The cotton/linen has a bit of body and movement; the sateen is smoother and more polished.

Don’t miss the two Spot the Cheetah colourways either — olive and ochre, same print, quite different feel.

4 September 2026 · Cashmerette patterns

Patterns with fit built in.

Cashmerette has joined the pattern shelves at Joan’s. The range is designed with curves in mind, with cup sizing and other thoughtful fit options built into many of the patterns. Less fixing the pattern before you can start; more getting on with making clothes you actually want to wear.

Questions about a fabric?

Ask me.

Joan’s is run by me, Lucy. If you’re wondering how a fabric feels, how it drapes, what the colour is really like, or whether it will work for a particular pattern, send me an email. I’d love to hear from you and I’m always happy to help.
