Help finding fabric
« on: September 25, 2018, 17:30:48 PM »
Have spent hours looking for a chestnut wool/mix to make a jacket. I can find lots of different browns but none the rich chestnut colour of a fresh conker. Tried all the usual Minerva, Higgs/Higgs, Stofil, I want fabric, Fabworks etc. but to no avail.
Has anyone come across any?

Have you thought of a visit to Fabworks in person @sewmuchmore ? They have a lot in the shop that isn't online.

Have you had a look on Maggies fabrics on ebay? She's usually got some decent wool mix coating fabrics in a big range of colours.
