I am a seamstress and love English fabric. Does anyone know a place to buy good fabric at cheaper prices. We are traveling Oct 22-Nov 3 and will be in London and all parts south of London. Thanks, Nancy

I can't sew worth a damn but I do love looking at blogs. Looks like this one has some interesting bits not to mention a list of other sewing/fabric related blogs.

I haven't been to London yet but the Threads magazine from July 2012 has an article on London sewing shops. I will be there in Oct 20-26 and intend to find some of these places. If you can't find the magazine I will try sending you the list

I looked at that blog that Claudia sent you- it's really interesting. Only warning- Liberty is a very expensive shop. Here's another link that might help:

Last suggestion- John Lewis dept stores usually have an excellent fabric dept.
OK, that's it from me, hope you find some great material.
