i discovered this wonderful little craft shop in Abbey Wharf whilst visiting Whitby 5 years ago…read moreand was amazed at the quality of goods and the prices were it reignited my love of crafting and led to my learning new crafts. whilst visiting Whitby last year for the Regatta I was devastated to find they were no longer there so I set on a mission to track them down and with the help of locals found them at Pamela's their now home. I was delighted to find that whilst the range of goods had expanded greatly the quality and value for money was still the same. Nothing is to much trouble for the owner Michelle, if she doesn't have what you need in she will get it and post it on to you promptly.So impressed am I that I travel from Manchester just to shop there and I will continue to do so, it's unbeatable. there is also the option to phone up and order by post. I would highly recommend this shop. Christina happy customer

They aren't kidding when they call this place a cave. The building is really old (I want to say…read moreseventeenth century) and the ceilings are super low. However, they're the only proper fabric shop in Knaresborough, and this is where I would buy fabric and trimmings from when I was first beginning to sew. The selection is small, but the ladies working here are ever so helpful and very pleasant. They've usually got quite a bit of unusual buttons and such that you wouldn't find in a more mainstream fabric shop. A great resource if you don't fancy going into Harrogate or York to pick up basic fabric or thread.

This gorgeous gem of a material shop is somewhat hidden, being tucked around the corner (on a busy…read moreroad, granted) and so slightly off the beaten track, but that doesn't seem to detract from the quality herein. As the canal bubbles away next door, people mill in and out, browsing the many racks of bargain cuts, huge rolls of material and various assorted items. I came here for the first time a few weeks ago and it's like a crafties' dream. The shop itself is much bigger than those I've visited in Leeds, so there's a lot more choice, and the staff are really lovely and helpful. They have tons to browse, including a number of rolls with money off, and a range of racks with bargain-priced cuts. I purchased some gorgeous tapestry style material and some beautiful embroidered silk for a mere £10! It was meant to be a little more but she knocked off a few pounds and rounded it down to ten. Although there was a bit of a queue, which can't really be helped when purchasing different types of material, that certainly made it worth the wait. For a seriously dreamy browse bring your imagination and let it run wild. There's so much in here to choose from you'll forget what it was that you wanted to make in the first place and start a number of new projects based simply on the exciting material they have in stock!

This is probably the best-stocked fabric shop in the market with an extensive range of fabrics from…read morecotton, wool, acrylic, polyester and netting to lino and PVC for table cloths. B&M fabrics also earn bonus points for keeping their stock well organised and neatly displayed, which allows for easy browsing - other fabric shops in the market can have rolls of fabric stacked in slightly chaotic piles. Rather than just a counter you can actually step into the shop and browse the fabrics more closely enabling customers to get a good feel of all the fabrics on offer. The staff always seem to be very helpful but are also happy to allow you to browse. The prices here are probably about average for fabric shops in Leeds. If you don't find what you're looking for at B&M fabrics there are at least two other fabric shops nearby.

When I had grand ideas of making myself clothes with my recently inherited sewing machine I skipped…read morealong to the market to see what it had in store for me. I found B and M Fabrics with a great range of things, probably because they are providing fabric to people who can and do actually make their own clothes. I explained my idea to the fabric lady and she took the time to discuss and demonstrate how I could make a wrap-around skirt and how much material I would need to do this. So this was all really helpful but, alas, the skirt remains unmade. Aside from my grand plans, this fabric store has a wide range of fake-fur animal prints, and rolls of table cloth lino and lots of foam or wading.

Apparently it's got to be extremely difficult. the employees made it a lot more complicated than what it should be as well as patronising myself and someone else i was with. once we finally got past the not needed struggle of how big the fabric should be, the next issue they seemed to point out was how the fabric wouldn't match even though i told them it doesn't matter. Excuse me but this is my garment, it will look how i want it to look. It would of been a lot easier if i cut it myself or gone to a different shop as someone else told me their experience was a lot easier as the owners had common sense of how big the fabric should be.
