Where's best for fabrics and bits?

[MudAndGlitter]

Does anyone know of any cheap good online fabric shops? We only have one shop selling fabric local to us and it's all very dated and they didnt have half the things I needed.
Plus I just got a tax rebate and buying beautiful fabric I'll probable be too scared to do anything with seems like a plan!

Ask the guys at the sewing forum - they know everything!

M&G did you find a site? I'd be interested to know too.

I haven't yet. I got distracted by boring housework bits though so haven't looked yet! Will search tomorrow and report back.

Great! :)

If you can bear the dreadful website, fabricland are fabulous. Cheap fabrics, fast delivery - I use them all the time. Can't recal the website address right at present, but google them.

Don't say I didn't warn you about the website though......

I am lucky to have a fabricland store nearby so don't have to use the website thankfully All though I would say to be wary of postage - they charge you the actual Royal Mail postage but if it goes over a certain weight, they courier it.

If you scroll down to post 15 here there is a BIG list of Uk fabric stores & the thread also has lots of great tutorials & project ideas.

I am addicted to the emergancy scrap packs at Fabric rehab!

I get fabric from local fabric shop in Culcheth (fab shop), also Aberkan Fabrics and eBay - search for fabric bundle and then sorting by price and postage lowest first usually comes up with some great bargains.

Doughty's is brilliant www.doughtysonline.co.uk (fast delivery and great prices) and also having a look on Etsy and Ebay.
