Hi,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a sewing thread. I want to make my own clothes, which I did years ago, but cannot find any material shops near where I live. I was hoping some of you money saving experts may know of any online outlets.
Thanks

Thanks for that information. I will look at those sites. I need fabric for trousers....Trevira or something similar. I want to make trousers for work so they need to be washable and durable. I thought there must be a thread somewhere for dressmaking, although I think its a dying art.!!
