0: Shaukat & Co

WOW! What beautiful fabrics! Mostly Liberty fabric, from a range of years, all sold at around £11-17 p/m, much cheaper than Liberty's offerings. Order online, or go in store, you'll be impressed :)

Don't forget that VAT is added afterwards for online purchases! *Voice of experience*

1: The Cloth Store

Great range of fabrics for a little store. Worth popping in if nearby. Prices range from £5-13 p/m when I was there

2: The Craft Cave

This little wonder doesn't sell patterns nor fabric, but they have a range of haberdashery items.

3: John Lewis, Liverpool

A great range of fabrics and haberdashery, but beware the prices! I paid double the price for some fabric compared to the cost online

4: Abakhan Fabrics, Stoke

Smaller than its Liverpool counterpart, Abakhan Stoke still sells a range of fabrics, with a range of quality and prices. Also pretty good range of other crafty bits

6: Abakhan Fabrics, Liverpool

A wealth of great fabrics here, the prices can be hugely variable, from super cheap to surprisingly expensive. Very cool fabrics if you dig around long enough.

8: Guildhall Shopping Centre

Terri at this market stall can order patterns in, though doesn't have any in stock. Worth a browse

Market Square, Stafford, Staffordshire ST16 2BB, UK

9: HobbyCraft Stafford

Regular HobbyCraft stock, fairly expensive, but a pretty good range of stock. Surprisingly good range of interesting buttons!

10: HC.Bhopal & Co

Pile it high and sell it cheap!
These guys sell a wide range of fabrics, from £3.30 p/m (seemed to be the standard price), for a minimum of 3 metres.
Surely a health and safety hazard given height of stock, get in, buy and get out!

11: Epra Fabrics

A much calmer experience shopping here than at Bhopal, but actually when I went I didn't see as much to take my fancy. Still worth a browse, prices are excellent


Más sobre Epra Fabrics

12: The Cloth Store

Surprisingly good and cheap little fabric shop. Fabrics ranged from £5-15 p/m when I visited, though there were sale items in store too. Good range of zips and other bits

13: The Bankrupt Shop

This shop is really for interiors, but a bit of a dud all round.
If I'm being kind I guess some heavier weight fabrics for making handbags... Though I'm not sure you'd want to...


Más sobre The Bankrupt Shop

14: Fancy Boutique

A good range of Sari fabrics. I've never looked at Sari fabrics before but found this store a little expensive for the quality on offer, prices at £15-25 p/m. Linings very cheap at £1 p/m though!


Más sobre Fancy Boutique

15: Ditto Fabrics, Brighton

An absolutely lovely range of fabrics, a little overwhelming. Have decided to return, pattern in hand so I can choose from all of the lovely offerings!


Más sobre Ditto Fabrics, Brighton

16: Abakhan Fabrics, Manchester

This Abakhan's is a bit messier than the others, but it still sells a good range of fabrics, depending on the day! Many fabrics sold by weight, at a good price.

17: Liberty Plc

Oh my gosh! Visiting the third floor was like a little glimpse of Heaven! The fabric range is extensive, and much more than Shaukat offer online. Great extras too, like VV Rouleaux ribbons, buttons and inspiration books. Worth a visit if you're in town!



210-220 Regent St, Little Marlborough St, London, Greater London W1B 5AH, UK

18: The Fabric Place

I was really impressed by this store. Didn't see much evidence of 'notions' (buttons, zips etc) but they had a fantastic range of stunning fabrics. I had to pull myself away from some nice sequinned material! Lots of lovely silks and linings too.
Recommended!

19: Textile Express

WOW! I love this place! I'm planning to spend more time in Shewsbury soon, and so I think I'll be spending my money here too!

Exquisitly laid out, great fabrics, and with the best range of 'notions' I've ever come across. It is a little pricier than other places, but the fabrics make up for it.


Más sobre Textile Express

20: Watson & Thornton

Wow, this shop in Shrewsbury is really jam packed with fabrics, but they aren't all exactly my taste! I saw quite a lot of fabrics I'd seen elsewhere (especially at Abakhans), but being sold about £2 p/m more expensive. More worth checking out are the fantastic range of buttons. Expensive too, but more unusual and worth browing


Más sobre Watson & Thornton

21: Cath Kidston

A small but perfectly formed range of fabrics. Beware the prices though!


Más sobre Cath Kidston

22: Fabrics Galore

Absolutely wonderful range of fabrics at pretty reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit.

The staff were both helpful but disparaging to customers within earshot - an odd combination!

10% discount for students :)
