Stoffland - If I only had access to this store

[Margarita]

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

...

Completely unfair, but I'm happy to hear it actually exists and somebody has access to it. I would go for the buttons alone! LOL

Sometimes the hunt for the quality fabric is fun. 

Thanks for posting about it.

II usually try to work in a bit of fabric shopping when on holiday  I've not been to Graz but I have fabric shopped in Vienna- which was quite expensive.
Last summer I had a load of fabric shopping lined up in Berlin but it just got so hot I abandoned most of the shopping.
This summer we are thinking of the Outer Hebrides where I'm.hoping nit to be too hot.... I can hear the Harris tweed calling....

Are these of any use @BrendaP

Thank you @Efemera for that kind offer, but these have now arrived and the colours are good for the jacket.

Only problem is they need a bigger buttonhole than the Singer buttonholer will make in one pass, so I now have to decide between:
  using the buttonholer and shunting the fabric along and then back to make a longer buttonhole   
  using the 4-step buttonhole on the Husqvarna, which nearly always ends up with non-parallel sides
  hand sewing the buttonholes 
  making bound or piped buttonholes 

At the moment I'm leaning towards the bound variety, but ...
