The main minus is the fact that the aisles are extremely narrow, if you meet anyone coming the other way, you have to back up. Fabric ranges considerably in price and quality, and I would recommend you have some idea about what you want to buy before you visit, simply because you may find yourself becoming overwhelmed by the amount of choice you are faced with fabric is literally packed up to the ceiling.

A nice little fabric store in the heart of Woolston. This shop has been going for many years, I…read moreremember my nan taking me there when I was little - and that's quite some time ago! It has a fairly wide selection of materials, wool, netting, cotton, needles, fabric etc and the staff are friendly and personable. I havent always had the best customer service in there (the staff wont necessarily stop what theyre doing to serve you, for example) but the prices are affordable for an independent shop and thats what matters in this time of the credit crunch!

I tend to go in there when they have a sale advertised, as I find it too expensive at other times. Their sales are usually really good though, and frequently discount up to 75% - and not just the awful clothes either! Their designs can be a little far out in some cases but I find that's true with most shops - their basic clothes are lovely quality and on the whole, seem to last a lot longer than their cheaper counterparts. Staff are really friendly too which helps.

I eventually bought a trench coat here (can't have too few spies) after changing my mind several times. The girl who is usually in there is incredibly helpful and will haul out as many jackets or coats as it takes to satisfy your tastes or sizing needs. She will also put something aside for you. Now it happened she heard me chatting with another person, and asked me some legal advice. When I eventually made my purchase, many discounts came my way and as they only take cash, I was told to take it and come back the next day to pay. And so cheerful. Just don't offer her a swet because she a anaphylactic.
