Liberty fabrics on Birmingham Rag Market
« on: January 13, 2018, 15:40:36 PM »
I had a trip to Birmingham Rag Market today - the first time in ages - and spotted a "new to me" stall in the indoor market with a wide range of liberty fabrics. They seemed to start at £8 for Tana lawn, going up in price for the newer and in season prints. I bought some nice Liberty print stretch denim at £12 a metre to make some shorts for my hols.  :fabric:  0_0

Please do you know which days this stall is open?  I see a half term excursion in my future.

Oooh, I'd love to go on one of DF's Rag Market tours, but sadly can't do Saturday.  Maybe next time?  Thanks for the info.   :flower:

Sadly, the stall has now gone, the stallholder just wasn't making a viable profit and is now selling on eBay. Thought I would mention this in case anyone is planning a trip. There are lots of lovely fabric bargains still to be had in the Rag Market, especially on Tuesdays, but I was sad to see this particular stall go (although it will do wonders for my bank balance!)
