Shops in the UK where you can buy pattern patterns for dressmaking

[cornishatheart]

It's decades since I did any dressmaking, I'm keen to get back to it but I'm not sure how I'll cope with downloading and printing patterns. I yearn for the days when you could go into a fabric shop and spend a very happy hour looking through catalogues of patterns but I don't know if that really happens any more? I'm sure there must be shops that stock paper patterns but I'm struggling to find where they are. Ideally I'm looking for somewhere in London or fairly near to London. Alternatively, encouragement that the downloadable patterns are easy to use. I'd be very grateful for any suggestions or advice, thank you.

I used to use CLC but they’ve gone expensive and now charge postage so I’ve switched to plan printing 24 which is part of the Hobs group.

Very quick turnaround and prices are excellent. 75p +VAT per b/w A0 sheet instead of £2+

Thank you, I'll check them out. I'm glad to at least know there are places that will print from a download, I'm learning so much.

I'm near a Hampshire market town and the sewing/fabric shop there has paper patterns

It’s genuinely really easy plus most companies have excellent instructions.

Jaycotts online is excellent for sewing patterns and often have sales. At the moment there’s 50% off Vogue patterns.
A good fabric shop in London is Fabrics Galore in Battersea or there’s Simoly Fabrics in Brixton.
