(I was going to put sewers but something got lost in translation)

I need some fabric advice, am I in the right place? X

What do you need to know?

There is an 'arts and crafts' section if you search topics.

Hello,
I'm looking for ribbed cotton cuff material and can't find it in town. Like the cuffs of a bomber jacket.

I find most of what I need online nowadays though some bricks and mortar haberdashery shops do sell ribbing and my local store does have a limited range:
