London Dressmakers Club Fabric Shopping List

Fabric shopping definitely seems one of the most popular of our events.  I am trying to compile a list of shops and markets in the London area and expand it to other areas of the UK and even abroad for who knows when you might find yourself in another town with fabric shopping time on your hands.

This is a rough initial list of the more inner London area, which I hope to expand to include haberdashery and trimmings.  I am having difficulty getting everything on the blog without making the print tiny  and I have had to leave off the comments section, which indicates any particular features, so I have marked in red those that are more expensive, some of which have couture level fabrics.   That said MacCulloch and Wallis are selling off some stuff prior to their impending move.

 I shall be printing out hard copies of an expanded list for those who have paid their annual membership fee to bring to any group meetup I am going to attend, the next one is on 22 March at the Design Museum.  If you are an annual member and want a copy please say so in the comments section of that particular meeting so I know how many to print.  In the mean time  please let me know of any shops, stalls or areas that you know of to go on the list.

  1. This is a wonderful list, very comprehensive!
    There are more fabric shops on Berwick Street but I think they could quite usefully be summarised as: 'the expensive shops on Berwick Street'. I feel we don't really need to list them all, though we could of course.

  3. This is brilliant. One day I need to get out of my West London Goldhawk Road safety zone and head over to Walthamstow!
