Fabrics online?

[Madigan]

Anyone know of a good website to buy fabrics online - where they show you swatches etc?
Need some striped fabric to upholster chair in DD's bedroom ... and can't see anything I like in Laura Ashley (which I normally use). Thanks.

IKEA you can browse online and then go in to buy it - lots of stripes at the moment,

here for example, and here and lots more under 'fabrics and sewing'.

deckchairstripes is good for - well, deckchair stripes! I have just bought some material for stripey curtains. They'll post you swatches. it's canvas but not too deckchairy if you don't put it on a deckchair!

let me know if you don't find anything online that you like and I will take a look at work for you!

hi bodiddly ... have not found anything yet ... looking for a fairly narrow/ticking stripe with mauve and grey in it .... would be very grateful if you can find anything suitable ... and not too expensive!
Thanks

will try and remember to have a look tomorrow.

have you had a look on ebay, there are always lots of new fabrics being sold

Try Next online - I've just ordered 7 swatches for free (and free delivery by the looks of things). Hopefully they'll come in a few days.

hi Madigan .. I have had a quick look this morning and I can't find anything thats even vaguely mauve and grey ticking. The closest I have is a mauve and cream stripe ... stripes set slightly wider apart than ticking or wider stripes with mauve and taupe and cream - but I am afraid they aren't cheap! I will keep my eye open for you though!

Perhaps if you give me an idea of what it is for or to go with I can find you an alternative idea if you have no luck elsewhere!

Bodiddly - thank you so much for your help. It is for upholstering a bedrroom chair. Wallpaper is grey/white, and curtains/cushions etc mauve/taupe/grey. I am thinking that the striped fabric you saw with mauve/taupe/cream might work? Who makes the fabric and how much is it?
Many thanks!!

ewwww just checked they are definitely not cheap I am afraid. The collections starts at £41.20 a metre and goes up to £57.10 a metre from a company called Casamance.

oh dear ... way over budget I am afraid. Can just about stretch to £20 per metre ........
thank you so much for trying. will go visit john lewis tomorrow and see what they have x

will take another look tomorrow when I have some help in the shop!
