Just bought this and it arrived today..
It's beautiful quality, like a cotton lawn but a little heavier in weight.

don't tempt me .... they have such nice stuff !!!!
-
Is this quite a thick feeling cotton? Almost waxy on the surface?
I absolutely saw the same print in Goldhawk Road today...
I so love TTC though!
-
I won't buy any fabric she says even whilst legging it over to the website. :D

No it's a silky soft lawn type feel.

Mmmm. Looks lovely. The Textile Centre has some great stuff. I will resist, I will resist........
Just checked on TTC on eBay - only 3 metres left!

I blame it all on the departed Demented Fairy - she made some really whacky outfits from their fabrics - remember the parrot shirt? Crazy but great - and she brought TCC to my attention. I am not going to look - I already have too much stuff from them - funny how it just slips into the basket!

Whacky? Me? Surely not...the parrot shirt still gets lots of wear, despite me making it pink in a recent wash. Sigh. What's that you say? 'sort the washing'? Nope, can't hear you.
I have a new eBay guilty secret now though- Italian Textiles. Oh yes. Luxury goodness and some truly amazing quality stuff. Fly my pretties, fly.... :devil:

No , not sort it but whack in a couple of colour catchers and they mop up the bad! Hmmm Italian Textiles, you say??? -<

Oh yes, I've been buying LOTS from them. Beware, they're not cheapo, the prices are per half metre, but the quality is outstanding. I have made loads of steampunkery from it, and several top quality shirts [Hugo Boss linen anyone?]

My bank balance has suffered alarmingly because of DF and TTC :). I've looked at Italian textiles but I WILL resist - for now anyway.

la la laalalalalalaaaa :|
You'll crack!

The Textile Centre has shops in north east and east London, although they are small and only have a fraction of what's online. I still have some lovely slightly stretchy floral from a couple of years' ago.

Now stop it - only just back and already she's pushing me to spend money - fingers in ears - la la la la I can't hear yooooooo!!

Here's the link. I've bought a couple of fabrics from them and it sure is lovely stuff. So much so that it's gently maturing in the stash.... along with everything else.

Augh! I have a head like a sieve....as soon as I saw the name of the shop I realised I already had bought some super black heavily textured wool from them...and the quality is superb!
Thanks for reminding me of all the gorgeousness!
