Stoffland - If I only had access to this store

[Margarita]

If I had a fabric store near me like this, I would camp out. If you look at them on Google Maps you can see their wall of buttons! I want that. Does anybody have a store like that nearby?

I don't actually like the way the fabrics are displayed

Oh the name Graz drew me in! I spent a month there on an exchange just before I left school and it's a place I'd love to revisit, even more so knowing that there is a fabric store!

[Margarita]

Lowena, Which ones? The ones on rolls?

Do you know if this is a chain store operation or just one store? Oh my, all those buttons and such a variety of colors in their zippers.

Just as well it's many many miles away 

Although that never stops me I shop online as there's nowt near me anyway

I Googled it out of curiosity, it's on the southern side of the city, and there seem to be a couple of other branches. I didn't know the other towns though.

I'm in need of some buttons
Five, maybe six, largish ones that match but are all different colours, for the silk Zambeesi jacket.  All I can get locally are cheap nasty things sold for guluiing onto cards.

I googled Graz as I have never heard of it I am ashamed to say!!

@snoozi soozi I know what you mean about Scunthorpe area. I use Waltons in Goldthorpe (40 mins drive) for fabric but habby isn't that good. Jayleurs in Brigg better for habby, but I miss the Fabric Store at Skippingdales! Thank goodness for t'interweb!!

I did a school exchange to Austria also, but mine was to Güssing. There was definitely a strong sewing and knitting culture there in the 1980s (more than in the UK at the time).

What size and colour @BrendaP?

[BrendaP]

Bright red, fuschia pink, phthalo green, purple, lilac and black;  about 30mm.   

I did order some from Totally Buttons yesterday evening.  We'll see.

@Lollipop it's sometimes worth looking in Boyes in Brigg too, they have quite a bit of habby, basic fabrics but quite a lot of curtaining stuff. They're cheap, especially calico and polycottons, cheaper than Jaylaurs, although I love Jaylaurs, I don't see the point in spending more for t'same stuff

Stoffland Graz

Hi Magarita,

is it unfair to tell you that this shop is just 30min away from my town?

Stoffland is quite a big shop, but I hardly visit them. It's a general fabric shop, but they have no Patchwork fabrics. There are of course some cotton fabrics, but I am not sure about the quality.
They offer a very wide range of fabrics, cotton, denim, canvas, costumes, everything for furniture and garden and bags, and much more... but it's always like a bet, how the quality is.

Yes, they have a huge choice and low prices,... but quality is not guaranteed
