A couple of months ago, I was charged with finding a large quantity of fabric for an event I was…read moreplanning at work. After making an endless amount of phone calls to fabric shops, I ended up paying a visit to Fabric Bazaar on London Road. The shop is easy to find, and there's even a car park round the back. The staff were really friendly and helpful - and were more than happy to help me find what I was looking for. They have a huge selection of fabrics at Fabric Bazaar - and it's all very reasonably priced.They found me some fabric that was just what I was looking for - and far cheaper than I had been quoted elsewhere. After cutting it and rolling it up for me, they even carried it to my car. It doesn't get much better than that!

Can't believe I've only just found this place! Surprisingly big fabric shop with a great range of…read morestock. They buy job lots, so that affects what they have in stock, but they keep their Facebook page updated with what they have in and they also gave me a business card and told me to phone any time I wanted to ask about stock. I couldn't believe the prices - I got pure wool for £4.99 a metre and linen for £5.99 a metre. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful - I think I'm going to be a regular here! :-)

This is a brilliant place to go for some fabric at good prices. I had taken part in a few sewing…read morelessons and had never really bought much fabric before. I had no idea what to do once I'd chosen my fabric but the ladies at the shop were really friendly and didn't laugh when I asked loads of obvious questions! I was served by a girl who helped me choose everything I needed for my project - I just showed her the pattern and from that she was able to give me the right amount of material. There's 3 floors of fabric, the ground floor is my favourite. It's where all the children's fabrics are but there's all sorts of cool patterns that would suit adults too. There's also a large clearance section of fabrics. Cotton Print will now be my go to place for fabric in the future, especially as they sell small bits of fabric for quite cheap so even if you're skint you can still buy something.

How have I not been to this fabric Mecca before now?! Three floors of lovely fabric (okay, two…read morefloors of lovely fabric and one floor of mince - ascend the stairs at your peril!) and it's all for home decor! I was in recently to look for curtain fabric and just to have a nosey. My previous impression of Cotton Print was that it's only for roll-ends and offcuts, so I was very surprised to find that it's a well-stocked shop full of perfectly good fabric. As I mentioned above, there are three floors of fabric and it's all home dec. You enter on the ground level, which is sort of in the middle in terms of quality. The posh stuff is in the basement and the mince for furnishing uni flats and dodgy rentals is upstairs. On the main floor, there's a little cafe where you can get a free cup of coffee or tea to enjoy while you rest your feet and look through their little library of design books. There is a small amount of haberdashery, wallpaper and coordinating cushions on offer, but the main focus is the fabric. I'd strongly recommend it for those inclined toward DIY home decor. We're about to move house, so the chance that you'll see me perusing the rolls at Cotton Print Factory Shop are pretty good these days.

I was in here yesterday to get some threaded sequins for my Hallowe'en costume. (supposed to be ringmaster: looking more like pornographic clown) The sequin reels were only 40p a metre, which is totally affordable. Their range of fabrics is huge, and a few definitely caught my eye - especially the red and black fur. They have buttons and wool; patches and ribbons; and a seasonal Hallowe'en section. The Hallowe'en section has small accessories such as wigs, hats and masks. It's made me want to start making my own clothes, but this will probably go the same way as my jewellery-making, hat-knitting and my "eBay business empire".

Unless you know about this place, you'll probably never notice it, or in fact, go in. Well, that's…read moreabout to change! Upstairs behind Fraser's, Remnant Kings is a haberdashery-heaven. Everything you could possibly want fabric or sewing related can be found here - and if it can't the lovely helpful staff will order it in for you. They have a fantastic selection of fabrics, sewing accessories and buttons (I had to once try and find 100 of the same buttons and this was the only place in the city that seemed to be able to meet my demands!). It's huge and light and airy. The staff are keen, and you won't leave empty handed. Promise.

Threads is a great shop to pick up an unusual gift for kids and adults alike but as with most stores of its kind some items can be a bit expensive.

This is the place to come if you are looking for an unusual, quirky gift. This shop really comes into it's own at Christmas time with all it's fabulous festive ware laid out. At the back of the shop there is a craft section which includes knitting materials, sewing etc. They also sell fabulous jewellery and gift cards too. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The only minus is the size of the shop. It's quite small but is jam packed full of stuff and if it gets too busy (and it is very popular) you'll find yourself backing into the displays!
