@coffeeandcake we'll have to swap pattern ideas! Pity @realale didn't give in to temptation, we could have had a triplet meet up.

@Lachica   beautiful fabric, the type of which I love on other people but hate on me.  I always end up with plain, stripes, or checks.

I’ve been buying fabric from Pound Fabrics and have been pleased with my purchases and the service has been good compared with some places.

Thanks @So Chic . I've historically gone for plains but am trying to be more adventurous.

They have a lot of nice prints in linen/viscose in various % mixes.   ::thinks::

Update on the linen/viscose from Pound Fabrics: it's been washed & pressed, it's lost a bit of stiffness but will be good for a dress or top. Drapes even better than when it arrived. The muslin - 4m of it - has 2 flaws each running across the width. I'll have to cut round them. It was only £2/m though. After washing it's crinkled up like 1960s cheesecloth, perfect for DH's summer shirts & it won't be ironed.
