Fabric

Where do you buy your fabric from?

I want to start making my own clothes. I went to a fabric shop local to me but it was really kind of shitty. I was disappointed.

Does anyone buy their fabrics online?

OH oh...does anyone design their own fabric? Cause ide love to know everything about that.

i really love finding fabrics. my favourites are paisley ones. i made some of my own clothes a few years ago. i was not talented at it at all and they were always botched but they served my purpose.

lots of fabrics for patchworking are wonderful. but they do not make very good dressmaking fabrics at all.

Hi Ruby
Do you have pictures of favourite fabrics? What kind of clothes did you make? I really liked the design of your last avatar btw. the orange one.

i know this is ikea, but sometimes they do have really good colourful/patterned fabrics.

you can get nice vintage/"retro" fabric from car boot sales also

ive baught fabric off ebay before too. but you do have to look through shit to find nice fabric on there. i got fuck loads of polka dot stuff for £10, more than youd get in a shitty fabric shop. oh it can be so barginous at times
