    Hi Sam I love Simple Life Fabrics but if I want a bigger choice I look at Fabric Godmother, Guthrie & Ghani and Lamazi, there remnant selection is normally good 😊

    Thank you for such a good video. I'm definitely going to try those online shops.
    My favourite online (and 'in real life') shop is Jenny Stitches. She stocks a good range of top quality fabrics at reasonable prices, I've never had a fabric from her that I wasn't delighted with. The fabrics arrive beautifully wrapped in purple tissue paper, with a handwritten note. The outer packaging is study paper (no plastic!). Visiting the shop is a joy, Jenny is helpful and knows her stuff 😊. It was worth a 4 hour drive to visit 😂. And she does a live Instagram every Friday at 5pm, where she shows us the latest fabrics and even suggests fabrics if someone asks .

    Hi Sam, loved your vlog, as usual. My favourite place to shop for fabric is an in person shop Neil’s Fabrics, a stall on Milton Keynes market. I do like to feel the fabrics and the £1 a metre bins (headstock) are such good value.

    • @pinkderdlesews

      Thank you for mentioning this stall, I live near Milton Keynes and I didn't know about this!! I'll be making a trip soon 😊

    So far my favourite shop has been abakhan…I love touching all the fabrics..oh and pulling out a remnant which is pay by weight; then holding my breath to see if I can afford it! It’s even better when not only I can but it’s a bargain! My dislike of online is the advertising….i always think the price is per m then I find out it’s of half, or worse; a quarter! I have never ordered from miss sunshine but continually watch their website as I’ve heard such good reviews…she will be my next port of call when I’ve got through my wips.

    Hi Sam, gotta say Pound Fabrics, photos of fabric are very accurate and rarely do fabrics differ from them, price and delivery always good and often surprised that quality is better than thought 😊

    Hi Sam. Happy Sunday! Wonderful collection of small businesses. Even though I'm in the US, I buy the majority of my fabrics from Europe. I can't pick a favorite because I shop at various shops for specific reasons. Here's a small list of favs: Maison Fauve in France, The Fabric Store Online in New Zealand, Beyond The Pink Door, Guthrie & Ghani, Sew Me Sunshine in the UK, Mood Fabrics in the US, and Core Fabrics (the fabric side of Closet Core Patterns) in Canada. Congratulations on taking your Channel to the next level!

    I love visiting Fabric Corner Lincoln.
    Lots of lovely fabrics at reasonable prices. Workshops for various sewing journeys- beginners, intermediates, advanced, quilting, sewing socials and a whole lot more.
    Kay, the owner, is always happy to help with sewing queries.
    Crafty Cafe next door always has great cakes too!
    Well worth a trip.

    Hi Sam 😁👋 thanks for sharing your favourite small fabric businesses, definitely some I haven't heard of.
    My absolute favourite fabric store is Stitch Fabrics run by the lovely Geoff, Sam and Jenni also known as M Rosenberg & Son
    They have a warehouse in South Woodford in Essex, they sell online and they have a travelling fabric show that travels up and down the country in-between showing at most of the big sewing exhibitions across the country.
    They sell designer dead stock along with fine Italian fabrics.
    Thanks for your super vlogs👏👏

    Thanks for another fabulous vlog Sam, it’s always great to get recommendations and reminders about small businesses! I can second Fabrics Galore. My other favourites are Blackbrid Fabrics, and Fabcycle in Vancouver, Canada is also a great place to pick up deadstock that they rescue from fabric and garment manufacturing and save from going into landfill. Great bargains on quality fabric to be had there and the stock is always changing.

    I split my time between the UK and France and so buy from both places. In the UK I love Lamazi but also Pound Fabrics and Minerva. In France I buy from Coupons de St Pierre in Paris and Rascol. I have recently bought some gorgeous fabric from a new company called Maison Bloom Mood and I will definitely go back there. Very interested to hear about Moonbow as I use a lot of jersey, so will be off to have a look there. I also love Simple Life Fabrics, great service.

Fantastic service, never had a bad fabric from her.

I visited Fabrics Galore in November, as my hubby and I had been bought tickets to the Battersea Power Station Chimney Lift experience and F.G. was about a 25 minute walk from there! It was packed full with lots of beautiful fabric! and as you say they have great sales! I also like Jenny Stitches, and of course Pound Fabrics, great for toiles.
