I belong to St George's Wilton Mothers' Union in Taunton, and we have 40 Commando Royal Marines in the town. We already do quite a bit of knitting for babies, premature babies, blankets for babies, knee blankets for residential homes as well as hats, scarves, mittens and jumpers for the children and women in the local refuge - we would love to add your hats to our repertoire.

The prices seem ok to me not as cheap as I've seen (but then the quality is good) but in line with most other fabric stores I've visited and cheaper than some! I visited yesterday as every January they run a sale with 20% off, which makes the prices much more competitive. The staff at Hansons are knowledgable, friendly and helpful and don't treat you like an idiot (even when you feel like one, for asking 'silly' questions!) I bought my sewing machine from Hansons a couple of years ago and the lady in the sewing machine department was so helpful, showing me the different functions of the machines and really tailoring her suggestions to what she felt my need and experience was. I have since returned on a couple of occasions for fabric and sundries and I'm sure if it was closer to where I live, I'd be there all the time! My only criticism, which isn't even that really, is that they pack so much in there that one often has to tuck in for passing customers as the walkways are very narrow, often shoving rolls of fabric back in whilst they pass!

We did buy some gifts for the family to get them started in various crafts as they have a lovely range of gift sets in stock. Will definitely be back.

Whilst this business has opted to carry a cheeky little name that may occasionally raise an eyebrow or two, they have definitely been upstaged, in the controversy stakes, by their immediate neighbours! In many other ways this is the ideal location for this old-style craft shop. It is surrounded by fabric stores, many of which are within a minutes walk from Crafty Sew and Sew, and with companies like Calico selling sewing machines, and Butterfly Fabrics carrying some fabulous materials, as well as some really large fabric stores with phenomenally extensive stock ranges like Fusion, Crafty Sew and Sew couldn't be in better company. All of these businesses support the fundamental drive behind Crafty Sew and Sew, offering patrons of the shop plentiful choice where fabrics are concerned. Crafty Sew and Sew offer a good range of craft items and ready-to-make kits of all descriptions. A visit to the shop is an inspiring experience, and the people that work there are only willing to help. If you are looking to take up a hobby, but are not sure of which direction to go in, I advise a trip to this little Pandora's Box of delights. The advice you will get will be invaluable, and the choices available are impressive, and cater to everyone's budgets.

Rather than go into Cabot Circus turn left and left again and go behind the McDonalds and walk along that road and you will find it. Fabric Land does what it says on the tin. They offer rolls of any fabric you can imagine as well as a well stocked haberdashery offering needles, threads, ribbons etc. The products are sold at a reasonable price, but Fabric Land can afford to be a little more pricey as there are so few fabric stores and haberdasheries around. The service is OK - if a little rough around the edges, but it is a great find as I have not found anywhere else in Bristol centre that still offers this kind of range.

This branch is pretty much in the same location - but just on the opposite side of the road! I saw their new store a few weeks ago and popped in, and I was amazed at how much bigger and better it was, even though the old branch was already pretty good! This new Fabric Land opened up a couple of months ago and looks brand new and modern inside. All their fabrics are really neatly presented, and all the different sections are clearly set out so you can find what you're looking for pretty easily. This store has a massive selection of different fabrics available which is great. I have always loved Fabric Land because it's reasonably priced, has some good quality products, and the staff always seem very happy to help - and the same goes for this branch. I dabble in the odd bit of textiles making at home and I now get my supplies from here, I'd also say that if you are a student then it's a brilliant place for fancy dress, you can grab some leopard print material for under a fiver and do a make-shift cave girl outfit pretty easily! Saves you some pennies too!
