I visited this shop during a short stay in London, mainly because it was an independent shop and…read more(very!) easily accessed by train. As we know, indie shops can be hit or miss, since they tend to fit the owner's tastes...but I have to say, this shop had me wanting to buy ALL THE THINGS and start up many new crafts. (Restrained myself, as I had limited luggage space and Parisian craft shops on the itinerary.) Yarn and apparel fabrics were the main attractions for me--I picked up some cotton that later became a skirt, and a couple balls of bulky British yarn that are now keeping a friend's head warm in Toronto. I also added notions, markers, iron-ons, and paper goods to my craft arsenal. (I don't normally do paper stuff but how could I not buy giant cross-stitch paper??) I was super impressed by the machine parts collection--who knew that many feet existed?! I probably walked the whole store 3x to make sure I wasn't missing anything I couldn't live without. Anyway, amazing stock aside, the owner is incredibly sweet & kind. We had a nice little chat about the shop, and she graciously shared some business tips. Since that visit, I've been following her Instagram and *really* wish I had managed to take a class when I was in town. (Now I know for next time!!) The shop is bright, cheery, inviting, and beautifully pulled together. If you're in London and you or someone you love is a crafter, swing by this store. You're bound to find something(s) wonderful.

If you're a beginner like me don't expect tons of help, you're more likely to be waved over to look for yourself and will have to figure out if the fabric you chose will work for the project you have in mind. For the well researched beginner and upwards, though, this place is a pleasant antidote to the lofty yuppiness of John Lewis and its brethren, and the market's just round the corner for a post-shopping snack.

I had passed this fabric shop many a time, but never gone in. It looked like hard work and for…read moreevery nice fabric you may have to search through 100 foul rolls to find it. I was mistaken, my usual fabric shop was shut so rather than a wasted journey, I went in to have a look. Half an hour later I had whittled my selection down to an arm full of jerseys several wools and a few tartans. They have a pretty big selection bearing in mind the size of the shop and the price is amazingly reasonable. Now I have no reason to buy fabric anywhere else. But do bear in mind once the stock is gone, its gone... so buy what you see.

This is one of 3 fabric shops left on Brick Lane - from many…read more As early as 5 years ago this used to be an area of fabric and trimmings shops catering to local factories. As this tradition has slowly died the fabric shops have also relocated or closed. However Z. Butt Textiles has survived.The shop has been there since the 1950's and is family run - now in its 3rd generation (4th ready to take over in 10 years!) They are so nice as well. Catering mainly to the theatre business now - its busiest selling time is pantamine season. And the fabrics reflect this -- no high end Berwick street here - They are pretty basic with alot of polyester satins and chiffons / some upholstery fabrics and odds and ends .Cheaper to buy more than less, a tarif is put on meters less than 10. If you just need some plain cottons , calico or canvas with trims -or perhaps feel inspired - and have a need for a litttle gold poly lurex with sequin foil print or perhaps a little dayglow chiffon - it is all here.

As a Yank in unknown territory, I had mixed expectations for my former colonial overseer, but Mr Butt quickly turned my frown upside down.

Mostly of the Liberty variety, and similar. Far more inspiring than your average fabric shop on Goldhawk Road (with the honorable exception of A to Z fabrics, though Fabs Galore probably have a better range still). The staff were really friendly and helpful too. Only downside were the prices, which at £6 a metre for plain corduroy and £12 a metre for the more striking fabrics is quite a bit higher than I've seen elsewhere. But given their excellent range, I'll nevertheless be returning.

The boa in question was red and black and it cost 10.00 pounds.I also saw hair clips, originally from River Island for 2.99. I do not know what this has to do with fabric.

The staff in this shop are nice enough but I thought 10 pounds for just some feathers was a bit expensive. Oh well.

So it isn't very often that I would require something from a shop like Fabrications, but yesterday…read moreI did. I was sent on a mission to get some cotton thread, luckily I stumbled across this place. I was greeted by a nice lady who apologised straight away for the messy state of the shop, something I was oblivious to as I thought everything looked in order. There is definitely a charm that this shop possesses. There is an interesting mix of products but I guess it is all fabric related, hence the name. There is also a gallery space that you can hire out for solo or group art shows. Anyway, my trip to Fabrications was a success as I found the exact colours I was sent to get. Out of all the places I went to that sell fabric, thread, wool etc. I found this to be the best, and by far the most delightful. I guess that's Broadway Market for you.

The wool in here is pretty, and everything in here kinda makes me want to take up knitting. The owner is really helpful and friendly, and it's just a really nice place to come and visit. They've got loads of unusual crafts in here like French kitting wheels and giant knitting needles. And enough craft kits for you to make your own things when you leave! Everything is well priced, and you'll find any kind of gift for just about any kind of person. I had my eye on a knitted giraffe last time I popped in to say hi. The hanemade items are gorgeous, and I'm sure if I was more crafty, I'd give this place five stars. It's a great little venue, on a lovely, somewhat undiscovered street. Come here quick before Broadway Market gets as trendy as Columbia Road. It's fab.

I think they have some of the best prints on the street -there are around 20 shops and alot carry the same fabrics but this one has a a good selection of really fine and delicate printing with sophisticated colours. It is a strange reality that classic African printed and waxed cottons are designed in Africa and made primarily made in Holland sent to the Uk and sold back to Africans ! The fabrics are amazing - normally sold in 5.5m long by 3.5m wide pier piece the prices range but are around £43.00. Designs range from geometric shaded sheres to camera and heart prints / jewellery and flowers - they have a whimsical quality and the waxed cottons feel good to the touch. If you need some bright prints to add some colour to your life - I recommend Sheraton Textiles.
