I have been trying to buy a skirt zip locally (Medway towns) but without success. I couldn't find the right length or colour anywhere so I've ended ordering on line. It's so frustrating not to be able to buy habby locally as what shops there are do not stock a good range of products. Although I did find some ponte roma to make a skirt so it wasn't quite a wasted trip.

I can`t get any haberdashery locally. Jaycotts have a really good selection of zips online - especially YKK which work best for me

A couple of weeks ago I was in Hometown, Rochester (the P&Q shop) and heard a customer asking for zips. The advice given was try the shop in the Pentagon or John Lewis in Bluewater, or mail order. That's how dire the Medway towns are now for basic sewing and habby. :'(

The only place I can get habby locally is from Boyes, very limited range and quite expensive to say it's not high end stuff

Try this

wide selection and fairly quick.

I’ve made a note of the on line suppliers of zips for future reference, thanks for the information.

I've ordered from Jaycotts in the past and the next day the order has arrived, they are really quick. I don't even bother looking in bricks and mortar now.

@sewingj, thank you for reminding me of Jaycotts ❤️. I've been clearing my loft out of junk so I can make room to store my ever growing stash collection. I took a car load of stuff to Barnados yesterday, I have absolutely no idea why on earth it was pushed in there, but it's gone now. What do I do? Walk out with a pair of gorgeous new slub satin curtains
