  • Have you tried a local market. My mum used to buy everything she needed from these places at a fraction of the cost. She also used the polystyrene balls

    You'll be saving a few £$£$,when you source the filling, 'cos the ones in Argos cost £100ish!!

    I think people will have a bit of difficult in suggesting where you can get cheap fabric or filling materials because you don't say where you are. However Abakhan is very good if you happen to live near any of these places.

    Ebay is good for fabric, probably the beans too although a market may be cheaper as you wont have to pay postage.
