Hi everyone my name is Angela and I am a fully paid up member of f. a. a ( fabric addicts anonymous)!, just like you so you are not alone I just can't resist a lovely fabric. X
I think the new ‘thing’ to declare is that you’ll never say publicly you are on a fabric buying ban. Have never agreed with that statement - as you say, this is your love and hobby. You work hard. You and other folks can purchase to their own budget which always goes up and down with life stuff getting in the way, kids, pets, household maintenance etc. Enjoy the fabric buying forever and ever. There. Feel better? Good 🤓💕
I just watched your latest video, hey Rachel, one would not expect a fish not to swim or go back in.the water,, how can you expect not to buy lovely fabric at excellent prices.. You have my blessing to just buy the fabric with no guilt, you are a fast sewer, you work in a reasonable stressy job, you need the fabric/makes for your mental health. Worry about your stash when it gets that bad you and Martin need to relocated to the summer house in the backyard to sleep.. I reckon you got a few good years of buying before then.. Just promise me to keep showing us.. It bittersweet to us folks who do not have access to such shops/bargain prices but it's ever so good to see what folks are buying and intend making..
I've never been disappointed with anything I've bought from Pound Fabrics, even the £1 ones are really good and they can cut straight which is a wonderful surprise these days 🤣
Lovely choices and great to see the fabrics and the quality and movement which you just don't get from a photo online. Think I may be tempted by the double gauze after seeing this 🙂
Following your link to Pound Fabrics I have spent an hour looking at the site,I can only marvel at your restraint😂 . I have seen a number of fabrics which I have previously bought for much more money.I was so happy to find lots of pure cotton suitable for children as I have a nephew and niece who suffer with eczema.Never apologise for buying fabric Rachel it is your hobby and makes you happy.Lately I have looked at clothes in the super market and wondered is it worth sewing when I can buy a dress for less than £20 when it can cost me the same for 1 metre of fabric..Thank you for sharing this gem.
Lovely fabrics. I’ve bought a few pieces of fabric from Poundland that were good quality as well as some v cheap ones for testing with. Found there delivery swift as you’ve said. No problems at reasonable prices. Agree with you about having to buy a larger quantity for some that is not needed. Thanks for sharing😻👍
I’ve bought from them before and always been happy with the fabric and their service. Love the ones you’ve bought so thanks for the links, and also the blog link. Keep on buying 😊😊👍👍
If I could reach through my screen I would take all of your beautiful fabrics. I especially loved the linen blend,I could see that one in a maxi wrap skirt. I love dresses and skirts but my life style is more pants and shorts. I am very interested in seeing what tops you decide to make. Another great vlog!
Thanks Rach. I have used Pound fabrics, have been with them before. While I was watching your UA-cam and order their cable knit jersey to make a cardigan. Other websites are double the price
You are lovely, and I am glad you bust your ban. I bust my ones regularly. I have made a few purchases from pound fabrics and always been happy. The only issue is you have to be quick. They sell out fast on certain things.
I loved your fabrics and it was so helpful. I’ve often seen fabrics cheaper in one place than another. The first time I purchased a pointe type fabric I had a sample from a well known site, then saw it @ the textile centre for £3.99 instead of £12 a metre, several years ago now. It’s good to see Pound fabrics is good quality so I expect I’ll be tempted😆
Your fabrics are all lovely. I have bought from pound fabrics many times - usually linen, cotton , cotton jersey, denim and needlecord. Their prices are always really good.
Lovely fabrics in your haul. Great to see them on a bigger scale. I’m a real pound fabrics fan, I’ve had some lovely cotton poplins and canvases for knitting bags from them. Always speedy delivery and great quality fabric.
So glad you like your fabrics. I buy from Pound Fabrics all the time. As you said there is alot of man made fibres which I have personally decided to avoid now, not that there is anything wrong with them. There is also alot of chiffon. Please be aware that some fabrics have to be bought in 3 metre lengths.I have always been happy with my purchases and the service. Thank you Rachael for the review.
BEAUTIFUL Fabrics!!!! We will even dismiss the fabric ban, love what you got! I am enjoying sharing my sewing journey on my channel beginning last year as well, and your videos are so inspiring!!!!!
Fabric is great insulation so no problem adding to it and certainly never feel guilty when you enjoy your hobby so much. I was put off buying from pound fabrics because of the name really - I've been caught out before from a similar sounding store and the fabrics I received from them put me off buying from pound fabrics as I assumed they would be a similar seller. How wrong was that - your fabrics are beautiful so I'm off to have a look now. Love your top too - the square neckline is very flattering x
Hi Rachel, When you announced “no more fabric buying” I busted up laughing and thought “ Don’t do that!!” Please buy all the fabric you want! Haha! I love all your fabric haul videos! Today’s fabrics were beautiful! Can’t wait to see what you make. Hope you have a great week-end!
Lovely fabric haul. I love Pound Fabrics and use them all the time when I see something. They do always say if you want high end fabric then they dont have it. However, I have always found the fabric to be really good quality and cheap xx
Ahaha Ruan's vlog was the reason I found Pound Fabrics, I was hunting double gauze! How funny... 2 double gauzes, some poplin & a blind buy pack later... I got the mint dg too & was going to go forthe floral shimmer but I didn't for some reason & I really regret it now!
I do recognize some of these fabrics. They were out a few years ago. The mint green gauze for sure, as it is one in the line that came out to make baby swaddle wraps. I got that one for my granddaughter. I also recognize a couple of others that you bought as well. You got a real good deal for end of line fabrics. I don't mind having end of line fabrics, cause heck we often don't get to them for a couple of years anyway. Canada doesn't have a lot of garment fabric shops, and the couple I use are based in Vancouver and prices are very high, so sometimes I go to Fabric Mart on line, that carries end of line fabric from the rag trade that are bought from designer houses in New York and other places. Prices are very reasonable.
Thanks for the review! It is nice here about online shop's fabrics. I live in the USA but I like to shop internationally too. Any online UK shops reviews would be appreciated.
Rachel I love Pound Fabrics and have bought loads from them. They are not far from where I live. The fabrics have got better over the last couple of years, but I too have found some fabrics on other websites exactly the same as Pound Fabrics sell, and they were much more expensive xx
I’m glad when we see fabrics bought online. There are no fabric shops around here so I rely on people to show me what they think of online stores. It would be useful if online stores gave gsm weights and fibre content, as they don’t, it’s helpful when you show drape.
Great Vlog, great fabrics. I will take a look over at pound fabrics. Love the stripy blue & brown fabric with the glitter in it. Look forward to seeing what you make with it :) Hope Martin is well, not seen him for a while. Having said that he was around at Christmas and Christmas seems a long time ago although it's not...LOL
I have bought lots from pound fabrics. I've got some double gauze and it's beautiful. I agree with your review. There are some really good stuff but also some very cheap polyester. I usually go with if it doesn't state what it is it will be polyester especially the cheapest ones. My last order I got last week was an organic cotton French Terry and it's beautiful 😍
I got some beautiful linen last year, from them, for £2.50 per meter. It sewed up so well I went & bought some more for my stash. It's a great place, if you choose wisely, & perfect prices for toile fabric. Beautiful fabric choices, by you & I agree the last one is my favourite😍
I bought from pound fabrics last year, I was so surprised at the great quality! But then I completely forgot about them, great vlog and a reminder for me to go back and have a look! 😀
Thank you for the recommendation! I've just spotted a John Loudon fabric that is also in a couple of 'high end' indies for £15pm. They are selling the same one for £8pm. I know it is high quality because I have bought it in a different colourway before. So bought that and then just had to add a couple of others too.
I have bought from pound fabrics several times and have never been disappointed. You do have to pick through a little but u don't mind that. The last poplin you showed is so beautiful. ❤️
Ive been buying from Pound Fabrics for years. Their fabrics can be a mixed bag and its not even the cheaper the price, the nastier the fabric. I have had Lady McElroy fabric (slight seconds), the blue floral poplin you bought is Vera Bradley (theres a few others on PF site), Ann Taylor and many other high end fabrics from them. And as you say, some Ive seen on other fabric shops for more than twice the price. Yes, you have to buy full metres, yes the postage to the Highlands is more expensive (grrrr) but the cheap prices and superb customer service more than makes up for it. I bought three remnants from another indi shop last week just to see what all the fuss was about and it was ok, but I'll stick to PF I think. Maybe for a special outfit I might go elsewhere but PF is my go to fabric shop. Great review video Rachel, I hope many others give PF a try and see they are not what you expect.
Many thanks for the video Rachael My fabric buying ban has been broken again , I’ve just bought the leopard print and cotton poplins. The purple and blue one reminds me of a Lady McElroy print 😊
Hi Rachel, I buy fabrics from them all the time and there service is always good. I have never been disappointed yet, which is a good sign. Definitely a thumbs up from me 😊👍
Thank you so much for this.I have subscribed to pound fabrics but haven't bought as I wasn't sure of their quality.I suppose the doubt came in relating it to pound stores which was unfair of me.Looking at the fabrics you've bought they seem great,the same as other fabric stores but guaranteed low prices. So,Ill be buying from them. Which way do you wash and dry your fabrics before cutting.I have looked and had advice from:-wash and dry on the hottest setting . Wash and dry as you normally would but always tumble dry. Wash on low and line dry. To be honest I've never washed and dried before use but I think I've been lucky,
I just checked out Pound Fabrics. That beautiful linen blend fabric was only just over $16 Canadian but the shipping was $35. I guess I won't be ordering it. I am tempted to actually buy it and have it sent to a friend living in Liverpool. He could bring it next time he is in Canada. I think it is a timeless fabric so it wouldnt't matter if i didn't get it this year. I really do understand your love of buying fabric. I don't buy clothes and only buy shoes when I absolutely have to but fabric is another story.
I have bought from them and there was just one jersey I bought that I have tried to make something with but it’s really flimsy and nothing has come out nice but everything else I bought was great so I’m off to get those last two fabrics you got as they are gorgeous 😍
Love those fabrics Rachel! I had to go and look, love the double gauzes but managed to remind myself that I’m trying to not buy anymore fabrics this month, let’s see how long my resolve holds out 😆
Wow! Love the fabric haul. It’s easy to say “I’m on a fabric ban” but once you try it it’s so so so difficult not to be tempted! (Been there!) Off to go and have a look … eeeek!
Hi Rachel I’m so glad I watched this video and checked out Pound fabrics after seeing all your lovely fabrics. I just discovered they have a US site so I am super excited as I was wondering if they would ship to the US😃🇺🇸 I love your double gauzes and they have it on the US site and in pink 💕 so might have to purchase 😜 I totally understand you still buying fabric as I am just the same and can never resist new and different fabrics! Life is just too short 😉😁
Great vlog, I’ve found pound fabrics to be very hit and miss, certainly never brought anything for £1 but like you I purchased a beautiful fabric last summer that was x3 as much on 2 other high end fabric retailers 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for this….I’ve never bought from them before but will definitely take a look at what they have. It sounds as if you have to choose wisely and then you’ll have a bargain. 😀
Beautiful beautiful fabrics! Can’t wait to see what you make! No need to apologize for buying fabric. I’m like you, I don’t spend money on anything else. I’m retired and having a ball being able to sew full time again. 👗🧵🪡🥰
Great vlog. I've been on their website a few times. Granted there are lots of cheapo poly fabrics but look through and there are also some good ones too. I saw a bear jersey on there once that was half the price I'd seen somewhere else
I recently bought the boat cotton jersey from them too but I’ve ordered some of the glitter viscose linen as is looks beautiful. Some grey knit also fell into my basket 🤣 Thabks Rachel
Hi Rachel. Thanks for your vlog. I ordered some fabric from pound fabric yesterday but just cotton canvas to make some bags with. I also put a small piece of double gauze into my bag but unfortunately by the time I got round to ordering it had gone! I actually looked at that glitter viscose too, it’s lovely and was tempted but a little dubious, as I hadn’t heard anyone talk about pound fabrics before. I now feel that if you choose wisely it’s definitely worth considering. So once again thanks for your vlog.
I love your fabrics. I am SO glad you stopped that silly fabric buying ban! I mean this is your part time “job” 😀 So its work related expenses and should be tax deductible. I do wonder what your plans may be for the double gauze fabrics? I have a few and ruined one making the wrong thing.
Don't apologize for buying fabric Yes we all think that we are going to slow down and sew up some of the stash before we get more But I have found that what I am buying has changed slightly from what I used to buy I am really looking forward to seeing you sort your stash carefully Because there is a website destash that you can go on and sell your stash fabrics that you may no longer want because of the content Or color and print of the fabric So you don't have lots of fabrics taking up space and making a person feel guilty I did that and now going forward I buy with plans like buying amout for a dress or blouse or slacks I have no guilt or need to apologize My extras went to a charity shop and someone else is enjoying them But destash website might be a option So just a suggestion for you So you don't think I will sew that up to get it off the shelf and then not wear it Hopefully this makes sense and might be helpful Love your makes thank you for the ideas The boat fabric "the sewing bunny " She made a blouse that's Lovely for summer Happy sewing looking forward to seeing more Take care
Just having a browse, thanks for the heads up. Also could I ask where you purchased your cotton reel holder that’s on the wall behind you. Exctly what I need. Xx

I have bought from Pound Fabrics for years - even when it was Adam Ross Fabrics. Never been disappointed. Must now go and have a look!
Lovely choices and great to see the fabrics and the quality and movement which you just don't get from a photo online. Think I may be tempted by the double gauze after seeing this 🙂
Those last two, the cotton poplins are gorgeous though I love them all. Very nice haul.
Lovely fabrics can't wait to see what you make.
Pound fabrics are great I have shopped with them over the past two years.

I think that mint colored fabric looks fabulous on you with your coloring.
I’ve bought from them before and always been happy with the fabric and their service. Love the ones you’ve bought so thanks for the links, and also the blog link. Keep on buying 😊😊👍👍

I would never say a thing!! Fabric is essential♥️👍😄 Lovely top-looks great on you❣️❣️
I'm a big Pound Fabrics fan, I've bought some lovely things from them and their service is great. Enjoy your bargains

Lovely, The fabric with little boats I immediately thought of something for a summer vacation.
Lovely fabrics. Especially the cotton poplin
Your fabrics are all lovely.
I have bought from pound fabrics many times - usually linen, cotton , cotton jersey, denim and needlecord. Their prices are always really good.
I agree about Pound Fabric. I get some gorgeous Viscose, Cottons, Linen Viscose Blends and Double Gauze at amazing prices. They are a bit addictive 😂
Selfishly, I'm glad you are buying fabric this year, I love your hauls!
Lovely fabrics in your haul. Great to see them on a bigger scale. I’m a real pound fabrics fan, I’ve had some lovely cotton poplins and canvases for knitting bags from them. Always speedy delivery and great quality fabric.
Morning Rachel, thanks for the heads-up and the enabling. I went and grabbed the odd length too. Looking forwards to seeing your creations.
The last fabric is my favorite, too, although they're all beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful fabric l ordered the grey leaf double gauze and some French terry was a bit iffy but you have me excited about the delivery now. Thanks
Loved your vlog xx I really liked the shimmery flowered fabric and that it would look lovely Zadie for your holidays xx
Hurrah! Loved this haul. Please don’t put yourself on a fabric ban again. Life is short, buy the fabric. It brings u (& us ) so much joy 🤩
Lovely fabrics... love the last one! Christine 🇨🇦
All beautiful fabrics. Wish we had Pound fabrics here!
So glad you like your fabrics. I buy from Pound Fabrics all the time.

The glitter floral would be amazing as a shirt dress for spring!
Wow Rachel, you have just bankrupted me! Missed out on the glitter fabric, but what a lot I got! Cheers.
Great Vlog, great fabrics. I will take a look over at pound fabrics. Love the stripy blue & brown fabric with the glitter in it.

I’ve bought from pound fabrics before too, been really happy with everything , love your choices, I’m off to take a look….🙈💕
Glitter print viscose linen and some double gauze winging its way to me. Thanks for the heads up Rachel!
Your makeup and hair are gorgeous in this blog! And I love the fabrics!!
I’ve never bought from them but have been checking them out over the last couple of months so very timely vlog.
I made an agnes and frankie (tatb) from that boat fabric, it’s very čute with jeans!
I got some beautiful linen last year, from them, for £2.50 per meter. It sewed up so well I went & bought some more for my stash. It's a great place, if you choose wisely, & perfect prices for toile fabric. Beautiful fabric choices, by you & I agree the last one is my favourite😍
That’s one thing the UK has that the USA doesn’t - POUND FABRICS! (Or dollar fabrics for us). Great buys and lovely fabrics Rachel!
I bought from pound fabrics last year, I was so surprised at the great quality! But then I completely forgot about them, great vlog and a reminder for me to go back and have a look! 😀

Ive been buying from Pound Fabrics for years. Their fabrics can be a mixed bag and its not even the cheaper the price, the nastier the fabric.

And as you say, some Ive seen on other fabric shops for more than twice the price.

Many thanks for the video Rachael
My fabric buying ban has been broken again , I’ve just bought the leopard print and cotton poplins. The purple and blue one reminds me of a Lady McElroy print 😊
Thank you so much for this review.....The website is a revelation! Have just ordered the boat print jersey and some other double gauze. Looks great!
Hi Rachel, I buy fabrics from them all the time and there service is always good. I have never been disappointed yet, which is a good sign. Definitely a thumbs up from me 😊👍

Love those fabrics Rachel! I had to go and look, love the double gauzes but managed to remind myself that I’m trying to not buy anymore fabrics this month, let’s see how long my resolve holds out 😆
I have had some lovely fabrics from them. Pound A Metre Fabrics are just as good and Sew Affordable Fabrics. Use them all the time. Xx
Wow! Love the fabric haul.
It’s easy to say “I’m on a fabric ban” but once you try it it’s so so so difficult not to be tempted! (Been there!)
Off to go and have a look … eeeek!
Beautiful fabrics!
Hi Rachel
I’m so glad I watched this video and checked out Pound fabrics after seeing all your lovely fabrics. I just discovered they have a US site so I am super excited as I was wondering if they would ship to the US😃🇺🇸 I love your double gauzes and they have it on the US site and in pink 💕 so might have to purchase 😜 I totally understand you still buying fabric as I am just the same and can never resist new and different fabrics! Life is just too short 😉😁
Thanks for sharing Rachel, I will be definitely be checking out Pound Fabrics, your fabrics are beautiful btw 😍
There are a few fabrics there that are nodding at me that I've seen on other sites so thanks for the heads up!
Wow that leopard print and the last cotton poplin absolutely beautiful 😍
Great vlog, I’ve found pound fabrics to be very hit and miss, certainly never brought anything for £1 but like you I purchased a beautiful fabric last summer that was x3 as much on 2 other high end fabric retailers 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’ve got the blue and purple poplin. My favourite too 💙💜💙💜
I placed my first order with them on Monday. Thought I’d give them a try. Thank You for sharing ❤️💚💜
You’ve got the Yorkshire nose to sniff out a bargain - brilliant fabric haul xxx
Thanks for this….I’ve never bought from them before but will definitely take a look at what they have. It sounds as if you have to choose wisely and then you’ll have a bargain. 😀
Beautiful beautiful fabrics! Can’t wait to see what you make! No need to apologize for buying fabric. I’m like you, I don’t spend money on anything else. I’m retired and having a ball being able to sew full time again. 👗🧵🪡🥰
Nice fabrics!
Great vlog. I've been on their website a few times. Granted there are lots of cheapo poly fabrics but look through and there are also some good ones too. I saw a bear jersey on there once that was half the price I'd seen somewhere else
I’ve bought some lovely fabrics from there, good value
Boats would look great as a keilo wrap.
I like Pound Fabrics, lovely quality fabrics for a very good price. x Debbie
I’ve literally just bought that feather double gauze from a fairly local shop at double that price!!
Great haul!
I recently bought the boat cotton jersey from them too but I’ve ordered some of the glitter viscose linen as is looks beautiful. Some grey knit also fell into my basket 🤣 Thabks Rachel
I bought some fabric last night from them, not to be confused with ‘pound a metre’…….I’m hoping that I will be pleasantly surprised by the quality 😊
Hi Rachel loved the vlog.
I buy from pound fabrics and check their web site regularly as they do have some good bargains.
Hi Rachel. Thanks for your vlog. I ordered some fabric from pound fabric yesterday but just cotton canvas to make some bags with. I also put a small piece of double gauze into my bag but unfortunately by the time I got round to ordering it had gone! I actually looked at that glitter viscose too, it’s lovely and was tempted but a little dubious, as I hadn’t heard anyone talk about pound fabrics before. I now feel that if you choose wisely it’s definitely worth considering. So once again thanks for your vlog.
I love your fabrics. I am SO glad you stopped that silly fabric buying ban! I mean this is your part time “job” 😀 So its work related expenses and should be tax deductible. I do wonder what your plans may be for the double gauze fabrics? I have a few and ruined one making the wrong thing.
Thank you Rachel, just spent a small fortune !🤣🤣❤️ But seriously very good value. X
You are hysterical! No excuses are necessary as our only sins are coveting fabric, right? Very benign! Love your fabric choices.
Don't apologize for buying fabric
Yes we all think that we are going to slow down and sew up some of the stash before we get more
But I have found that what I am buying has changed slightly from what I used to buy
I am really looking forward to seeing you sort your stash carefully
Because there is a website destash that you can go on and sell your stash fabrics that you may no longer want because of the content
Or color and print of the fabric
So you don't have lots of fabrics taking up space and making a person feel guilty
I did that and now going forward I buy with plans like buying amout for a dress or blouse or slacks
I have no guilt or need to apologize
My extras went to a charity shop and someone else is enjoying them
But destash website might be a option
So just a suggestion for you
So you don't think I will sew that up to get it off the shelf and then not wear it
Hopefully this makes sense and might be helpful
Love your makes thank you for the ideas
The boat fabric "the sewing bunny "
She made a blouse that's Lovely for summer
Happy sewing looking forward to seeing more
Take care
Just having a browse, thanks for the heads up. Also could I ask where you purchased your cotton reel holder that’s on the wall behind you. Exctly what I need. Xx
It was just from ebay
Thank you. I’ll take a look now. Xxx
