This is a brilliant place to go for some fabric at good prices. I had taken part in a few sewing…read morelessons and had never really bought much fabric before. I had no idea what to do once I'd chosen my fabric but the ladies at the shop were really friendly and didn't laugh when I asked loads of obvious questions! I was served by a girl who helped me choose everything I needed for my project - I just showed her the pattern and from that she was able to give me the right amount of material. There's 3 floors of fabric, the ground floor is my favourite. It's where all the children's fabrics are but there's all sorts of cool patterns that would suit adults too. There's also a large clearance section of fabrics. Cotton Print will now be my go to place for fabric in the future, especially as they sell small bits of fabric for quite cheap so even if you're skint you can still buy something.

How have I not been to this fabric Mecca before now?! Three floors of lovely fabric (okay, two…read morefloors of lovely fabric and one floor of mince - ascend the stairs at your peril!) and it's all for home decor! I was in recently to look for curtain fabric and just to have a nosey. My previous impression of Cotton Print was that it's only for roll-ends and offcuts, so I was very surprised to find that it's a well-stocked shop full of perfectly good fabric. As I mentioned above, there are three floors of fabric and it's all home dec. You enter on the ground level, which is sort of in the middle in terms of quality. The posh stuff is in the basement and the mince for furnishing uni flats and dodgy rentals is upstairs. On the main floor, there's a little cafe where you can get a free cup of coffee or tea to enjoy while you rest your feet and look through their little library of design books. There is a small amount of haberdashery, wallpaper and coordinating cushions on offer, but the main focus is the fabric. I'd strongly recommend it for those inclined toward DIY home decor. We're about to move house, so the chance that you'll see me perusing the rolls at Cotton Print Factory Shop are pretty good these days.

The Cloth Shop has an expansive range of fabrics and that's really their speciality but that's only just the beginning. The other departments are also really well stocked and with great variety too. There's a table and chairs upstairs along with some sewing pattern books with designs of varying levels of difficulty. This is a really good source of inspiration and helpful for beginners. It got me really excited to get learning and creating. I'm so looking forward to buying some pretty fabrics from The Cloth Shop soon and making a start on some personal projects!

A couple of months ago, I was charged with finding a large quantity of fabric for an event I was…read moreplanning at work. After making an endless amount of phone calls to fabric shops, I ended up paying a visit to Fabric Bazaar on London Road. The shop is easy to find, and there's even a car park round the back.

They have a huge selection of fabrics at Fabric Bazaar - and it's all very reasonably priced.They found me some fabric that was just what I was looking for - and far cheaper than I had been quoted elsewhere.

They buy job lots, so that affects what they have in stock, but they keep their Facebook page updated with what they have in and they also gave me a business card and told me to phone any time I wanted to ask about stock.

I was in here yesterday to get some threaded sequins for my Hallowe'en costume. (supposed to be ringmaster: looking more like pornographic clown) The sequin reels were only 40p a metre, which is totally affordable. Their range of fabrics is huge, and a few definitely caught my eye - especially the red and black fur. They have buttons and wool; patches and ribbons; and a seasonal Hallowe'en section. The Hallowe'en section has small accessories such as wigs, hats and masks. It's made me want to start making my own clothes, but this will probably go the same way as my jewellery-making, hat-knitting and my "eBay business empire".

That all happened yesterday, and I received my items today. Really high quality materials. I cannot commend this company enough and will certainly buy from them again.
