    I came across these through their eBay shop and they are offering free post on their website at the moment. They don't have a lot at the moment but what they do have is very nice.

    Other than that Birmingham Market has lots and lots of fabric stalls. I have picked up lots of nice fabrics for less that £2 per metre.

    this is a great resource for cheap fabric in the South East. He is sometimes at Bromley Market on a Thursday but not every week. I discovered that he does these travelling fabric shows at which he has a lot more stock. He does Hayes in Kent, Ongar in Essex and Trumpington in Cambridge on a regular basis.
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    thanks for this thread, it's given me a few ideas! I want to make some rave outfits (yes I am a raver!) as the outfits from the proper brands have such high price tags! there's one brand I absolutely love the funky styles of but they're unfortunately the most expensive :( some of the websites look great but I'd like to buy from a shop to get a feel for the fabric as when I see it it may help to drum up ideas in my head of what I could do with it :) think I shall try my local charity shops soon! or maybe cut up some old clothes that I don't wear anymore :)
  • Trying the online fabric shop named as Tissu fabrics at 'tissufabrics dot co dot uk' for buying fabric is worth. They have good quality fabric at low price.

    In one of the winter threads last year someone linked a company that does cheap fabric online, can anyone give me the link again please? The threads are so long now I can't find it again!
