I typed up a WHOLE ess...OK, we will try this again. I typed up a WHOLE essay on places to visit and when I went to post, it looked like there were TWO posts so I thought, that's daft and deleted one, only it deleted everything!!<br /><br />OOOH don't get me started!<br /><br />Favourite online Fabric places....<br /><br />http://www.celticfusionfabrics.com/ - Celtic Fusions -One of my favourite online places- lots of quirky fabrics and if you sign up to their mailing list they send you offers throughout the year.<br /><br />http://www.fabrictales.com/ - Fabric Tales - They are based in Japan but have the most beautiful items for offer. Great source of chiramin and ribbon for kanzashi.<br /><br />http://www.fancymoon.co.uk - Fancy Moon- I found this shop on eBay when I was looking for something- Lovely range of beautiful fabrics- lots of imports from here in the UK<br /><br />http://www.frumble.co.uk/shop/ - Frumble Fabrics- Again I found this shop while looking on eBay. They have your tiny elephan fabric!!!<br /><br />http://www.leonsfabrics.co.uk/ - Leons Fabrics - The monther of all fabric shops here in Manchester. You walk in there and you are in fabric heaven. It's the size of a warehouse which carries fabrics priceds from 99p thur to £199!!!<br /><br />http://www.abakhan.co.uk/ - Of course Abakhan. I am signed up to their newsletter and they often have sales so I can pop into Manchester and go when I like. It's a 10 min train ride to Piccadilly from my house and then 15 min walk to the shop.<br /><br />Like you- I don't bother with Hobbycraft. EVERYTIME I go there to buy something they just never have it in stock! Waaaay too expensive too.<br /><br />There is a John Lewis store here as well, They used to have such a lovely fabric section and now it's been cut down by 75% and replaced with kits catered to the masses. I miss their fabric scrap bin- it used to be overflowing with great fabrics at reduced prices.<br /><br />We also have some factory outlet stores in New Mills, not a huge selection but great for finding factory fabric offcuts cheep!<br /><br />There is also the Pound a Yard Fabric shop in Edgley- It doesn't look much from the outside but there are a few good deals here to be found. They also get a lot of expensive furnishing fabric and sell super cheap!<br /><br /><br />So there you go- Lots to spend you £££ on.<br /><br />Of course, if Duckie and Plink would like a tour of the Manchester fabric shops (and perhaps a trip to Abakhan in Mostyn Wales - Only just over an hours drive from me) They are most welcome to come and stay :-)<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429676167147828786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928267191569705020.post-62931571822582677412012-08-20T15:00:04.145+01:002012-08-20T15:00:04.145+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429676167147828786noreply@blogger.com
