Oh I do like looking at that site @Gernella.  The fabrics I drool over always seem to be around £300 a metre! :o

Well I do like looking at the silks.  :|.  And there's no harm in looking is there? :).  Go on, have a look, you don't need to buy.   I've visited the shop and the fabrics are wonderful but mostly out of my price range.

You've got to look because sometimes they have some nice stuff in the £10 to £20 range and they still have some of the fabulous faux furs with good reductions.  Trouble is the one I got for £28 a meter, I just daren't cut in case I bodge it up.  It will probably finish up as a bed for the cats.  It looks so real you cannot understand how some people want real fur.

I go to the Remnant page on a regular basis, just in case.  Only drawback is the postage, although you do get your fabric the next day.

I only look at the Remnants page too  ;)  I did fork out for a small piece of embroidered cotton a year or so ago which was absolutely stunning when it arrived.  I guess you get what you pay for.  I made a straight skirt out of it and trimmed it with other bits and pieces, I get so many comments on it when I wear it. 

I like looking at the site, but feel like my little old cat sitting chattering at the birds through the window  :meow: 0_0
