It's great to be able to see the products from the website 'in the flesh' and most of them look even better in real life! They sell all sorts of things, from clothing and toiletries to fabric and mugs. The store has a very nice feel to it and the staff are friendly. Their sales are always very good and well worth a visit. My only complaint is that the shop is inaccessible to wheelchairs and pushchairs are a bit of a struggle too - there are steps up to the front door, and then more steps inside to get the main parts of the shop floor.

The fabric alone is a visual feast: - any mom/mum of a young child should swing through here at least once to understand what a fabulous resource is near at hand - any craft-loving tourist with an hour to kill should walk the flat half-mile from town to pick up gorgeous stuff you just won't find at home - any new householder should swing by to find some decorating options that won't break the bank, while adding colo(u)r and flair And, for local quilters and sewers (or those who would-be) the knowledgeable, cheerful staff are so helpful with tips and solutions. They are also just plain accommodating and nice, while the ladies who come for the fortnightly quilters circles are just lovely.

Unprepossessing from the outside unless you are a fan of industrial architecture but once through the doors it's glorious fabrics galore. There are sections of dressmaking fabric, including patterns, lots and lots of upholstery fabric, strange fluorescent furry stuff for making strange fluorescent furry things (aliens?), sheer voiles for curtains and more more more! In my time I've been here to buy things to refurbish furniture, make fancy dress for the kids and our latest purchase is the complete kit for stitching our own ball gown - Vivienne Westwood is looking to her laurels!

They regularly discount ends of rolls and seasonal stock, which is great for a bargain you'll buy and probably never make anything with. The out of season liberty stock and some of the wools are the reason to come here, expect to drool and a pinch in the pocket. Yes the staff can be grumpy, but also helpful.

KBT is a family run business that sell a lot of stock internationally, and because of the safe, high quality of their fabrics schools and education establishments buy a lot of stuff from them. If you live locally and work for a school or third sector organisation they do scrap bags of off cuts super cheap, which is always great for art projects. The guys here are really helpful at finding the fabric you are after or making suggestions with regards to price and alternatives. You can always take a swatch away with you which has all the pricing of the fabric you were looking at. They stock a wide range of spray and fabric paints as well as velcro and cutters. If you plan on visiting you can't access KBT directly off the round-a-bout it faces but via Nechells Place.

A number of their regular clients are from education - schools and nurseries - who come to get fabrics suitable for kids to work with, or who need cheap fabric to create backdrops and costumes for school productions. Because of this, they sometimes sell special binbags full of offcuts for very little money which could be full of loveliness, or could be full of boring beige (one bag I bought had some lime green pleather in it - fab!) Alongside the practical fabrics they have a fair amount of upholstery fabric, and also a big range of fabric paints, spray paints and other textile-related products in cans and jars and pots. It's definitely worth having a mooch around!
