    My local haberdashery shop sells everything to do with sewing.

    I'd try a sewing shop or a department store which has a sewing department.

    Or you could buy a square of felt (49p in Dunelm) and cut out the initial of the recipients' names and stitch it on. You could do the whole lot for 49p instead of paying about that each for motifs.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Our local market has what my gran called a 'notions' stall - quite a choice even these days. Alternatively, maybe a wool shop might have some. Sometimes Poundland has this sort of thing too.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
  • You could always try Woolworths or the Co-op. Last time I bought something like this it was in the Co-op but it was a few years ago now.
