Try www.raystitch.co.uk and www.sewbox.co.uk, dittofabrics.co.uk are good online shops. www.clothkits.co.uk is great too, but more kits than fabrics.

Do have a look at fabricland as rockin says, but do not be put off by their awwwwwwwful website! Truly hideous (but they're clearly not wasting money on it :o)

Oh god yes, it's got to be the worst website I've ever seen flubba, gives me a headache just looking at it [ confused* thankfully we've got a shop here, or I'd probably never get past the front page & buy anything Grin - I do love the shop though & have often found stuff in there, that they are also selling in Ditto at double the price, so its always my first port of call

LOL I know and have used fabricland, they have a couple of branches in places I visit occasionally. Agree their website is apalling and, at the risk of sounding grouchy, the staff often seem more interested in each other than their customers...but, if there is a bargain to be had, I will look again Grin

Abakhan is often mentioned on these kind of threads.

I've also had some great fabric from assorted eBay sellers.
