I have a couple of websites that I use but I'm quite new at sewing and am looking for recommendations for good, reliable fabric websites. Thanks.

I use eBay, //www.frumble.co.uk //www.fabricrehab.co.uk //www.plushaddict.co.uk and //www.seamstar.co.uk

Seamstar have a monthly club too where they send a little box with a project, fabric, ribbon etc.

I use e-fabrics for basic cottons and poly cotton blends.

They are reliable and quick and have a good range of plain colours, tiny dotted fabrics, polka dot fabrics and little floral pattern fabrics.

Won't break the bank either

Fabric Guild for cheap quilting fabric (though it's hit and miss what they have in and the ordering system is odd - they email you with a total that includes postage)

Cotton Patch
Prints To Polka Dots
Simply Solids
Barnyarns for thread (they have amazing customer service)

This is my current favourite - [[http://www.myfabrichouse.co.uk/8-fabricbundles?p=2 My Fabric House - although some of the others on this thread could challenge for that accolade.

I also like this one if you are after quilting fabric.

Can I ask what you make with the bundles? 50x50cm isn't going to make you much?! Or is it purely for quilting?

I'm very new to sewing - can you tell?

If you are doing a big project importing from //www.fabric.com can be a good deal.

I use FB co-op groups mostly, there are quite a few out there if you search.
Also, //www.fabric.com, Rooftop Fabrics, //www.fabricland.co.uk, and rijstextiles.com/.

HectorVector I tend to make quilts with Fat Quarter bundles but there are lots of other patterns to make with fat quarters. I think the Sew Mama Sew blog had a big list of some here

Love the Fabric Rehab and Seamstar sites. Bookmarked. Smile I'd like to find gorgeous prints in viscose. I've got a lovely dress from White Stuff in viscose that drapes beautifully. I find 100% cotton adds bulk and jersey is awful on me - clings in the wrong places and shows every lump, bump and line.

So if anyone knows of anywhere, please could you let me know?
