Just a quick post for any London based fabric lovers (which after the awesome meet up at the weekend I know is quite a few!). The Berwick Street Cloth Shop, The Silk Society and Broadwick Silks (all based on or just off Berwick Street) are currently having a remnant sale. This group of shops are normally way too pricey for my amateur dressmaking purposes but if there's a chance to get some gorgeous high quality fabric at bargain prices I'm there!
I managed to bag a good sized piece of a beautiful emerald green wool crepe for £9 a metre instead of £35! The dangers of working around Berwick Street and spotting a sign...
The address is 77 Berwick Street, London, W1F 8TH. You go in what looks like a door to a flat with a big sandwich board outside and upstairs to a teeny tiny room full of piles of fabric. It's on until 26th April. Have fun!
ooh, must check it out (altho could be dangerous after my goldhawk rd splurge!)
ReplyDeleteI made myself stick to only buying the lining I needed on the Goldhawk Road trip but completely ruined my good behaviour with this impulse buy!
DeleteWowsers that sounds SO tempting! I've tweeted it to spread the word... and temptation, hee hee
ReplyDeleteGood thinking!
