Walthamstow is really good for inexpensive fabric and the Saturday man near Sainsburys has some good fabric but it is all much more hit and miss than the Goldhawk Road.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558054295759199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-68219513919772437762013-07-11T22:45:23.941-05:002013-07-11T22:45:23.941-05:00I hope you find tons of cool fabric in London and ...I hope you find tons of cool fabric in London and Paris...take an extra bag to bring it all home in!robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550331917150660121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-89485634175540945432013-07-11T11:19:04.044-05:002013-07-11T11:19:04.044-05:00That's helpful, thanks!That's helpful, thanks!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365849029941325950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-77698168036671998642013-07-11T11:18:40.911-05:002013-07-11T11:18:40.911-05:00Awesome, thanks!Awesome, thanks!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365849029941325950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-74603566391007369332013-07-11T11:18:19.141-05:002013-07-11T11:18:19.141-05:00Cool!

I was in Paris in May, and stayed in La Goutte d'Or/Montmartre and did TONNES of fabric shopping - I wrote a little guide here, which might be some help! http://dollyclackett.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/you-take-care-of-that-detail-in-france.html Roisin Muldoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021809571559879091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-80408449481857807112013-07-09T06:52:51.187-05:002013-07-09T06:52:51.187-05:00London - Goldhawk Road is a MUST see!

There are other fabric shops near.<br />If you're looking for haberdashery, you have Fil 2000, metro Réaumur Sebastopol.<br />If you want very cheap fabrics, you have the markets like the Sarcelles market, it's in suburb. It's open on thursdays and sundays. Fabrics are 1 or 2€ by yard.Threadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613464292592620063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-62329013449094640552013-07-08T22:33:10.438-05:002013-07-08T22:33:10.438-05:00Gutted, you're in London while I'm in Pari...Gutted, you're in London while I'm in Paris and then in Paris while I'm in London! have a great time.

I also recommend Shaukat Fabrics on Old Brompton Road--they sell Liberty tana lawn at around half the price of the Liberty department store (and they have a large selection of other fabrics). I think that they are not open on Sundays (check their website!). If you are near Liverpool Station or Aldgate, you can buy Dutch Wax fabric in the Petticoat Market Area (between the Spitalfields Shopping center and the London Gherkin (#1 Saint Mary Axe). There are a two stores that I know of that sell Vlisco fabric. Most is sold in 6 yard pieces, but there was one shop (dang I do not know the name) that had some half cuts./ 4 yard pieces (vlisco stuff--it's worth asking the merchants if they sell 4 yard cuts, as the fabric is very heavy). Goldhawk road also has African wax fabric stores, but I did not buy any wax yardage there.<br /><br />Have a wonderful time--I look forward to seeing your blog posts.<br /><br />Rose in SVRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782386414185682598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-70438461499146106382013-07-08T16:06:29.841-05:002013-07-08T16:06:29.841-05:00Have an awesome Honeymoon!
