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!

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! :-)

It is not a very big shop but is well stocked with fabrics and other sewing items such as zips, ribbons, buttons etc. The prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly, helpfull and approachable. My first stop when I ever get time to make anything.

They sell some trims / buttons etc but I go in for their card making supplies. It is really good for the basics such as card and double sided tape etc and prices are excellent. You can buy sheets of A4 card individually or purchase a box of mixed card which is excellent value. They also sell more specialist items such as stamps, peels offs and decoupage sheets. Again there is a good selection of products and prices are really reasonable.

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".

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.

A longstanding addition to the In-Shops in The Forge Shopping Centre, this has always been the place to head for Halloween, Fancy Dress Parties, Friday nights...Any excuse! They have reels and reels of gorgeous fabrics, for the keen clothing maker, as well as lots of tubes of lovely buttons, thread, needles, wool, knitting needles - the lot! This place has saved me many a time for last minute costumes, selling ready made entire outfits, at a snip of the price of their city centre competitors. I particularly enjoy paying a visit to have a giggle over trying on their silly wigs and transforming my 'do to all manner of ridiculous new looks. A marvellous little dressing up box of a shop and one that I visit time and time again. Highly recommended for fans of dressmaking and dressing up.

The Cloth Shop has an expansive range of fabrics and that's really their speciality but that's only just the beginning. The other departments are also really well stocked and with great variety too. There's a table and chairs upstairs along with some sewing pattern books with designs of varying levels of difficulty. This is a really good source of inspiration and helpful for beginners.
