I can't be bothered to post twice!

I am looking for a wide stripe fabric in cotton or linen. Neutral background with a pink or soft purple-toned stripe. Sort of nautical or French style - like you might find on a cushion in a glossy interiors magazine.

Examples attached. Can you please help me find a fabric like this that doesn't cost the Earth?

Ticking meets the cost requirements but the strips are too narrow and many!

Also, since I'm having a burst of creativity- will you please recommend your favourite fabric shops? Preferably ones that stock natural materials - cotton, linens, genuine wool, etc.

Thank you Grin

There are some good on line fabric shops. It really depends what you want to do with the fabric.
If I was making small things I might source linen tea towels, napkins or table cloths.

Yes- lots of online fabric shops to choose from though! I'm keen on the independent ones and hoping to pick up recommendations for people's favourites :)

I've bought a lot from www.susiewatsondesigns.co.uk/fabricandinteriors/fabric/striped-cottons.html

Not the cheapest but great quality, good sales and often double width

I've had great service from Terrys Fabrics over the years and they had dozens of different striped fabrics last time I looked
