Where to buy sewing supplies and material online?

Hello,
I normally buy my sewing supplies from a great market, but as it is over an hours drive away from me (and not yet open again) I am hoping that someone can recommend an online supplier for both material and sewing supplies (such as patter paper).

Thanks in advance : )

    I have used the Remnant House Harrogate for fabric and habadashery. I also use sew essential for paper patterns. In the past I have used Croft Mill and Abakhan fabrics. Hope this helps.
    Ps I ordered paper patterns from sew essential today and they are in the post already.
  • Many thanks for your suggestions.  I have looked at the websites you suggested and they seem to have just what I want to buy.

    Fabricland.co.uk is also good.  I love Plush Addict too.

    My usual shop has been selling via ebay 
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    I have bought fabric and haberdashery from eBay recently and have been very pleased .
    I also use Fabric Guild.
    Amazon and eBay sell patterns.



  • Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions.  I managed to find some pattern drafting paper on ebay for a good price and so I will order some this weekend so I can start making my own patterns again.  Just deciding on material to buy now.
