They are a fabric shop that specialises in designer deadstock fabrics. Its important to note that the fabrics here are sold in 3 metre cuts.

As their selection is so big it means they really do have a bit of everything. If you are looking for a specific type of fabric the likely hood is that they will have some.

I use them a lot in my makes, especially for their fun denims. If you’re looking to make a pair of jeans, a boilersuit or even a fun pair of dungarees, then their bold patterned denims are always worth a look.
Rainbow Fabrics are another UK, London based fabric shop. This time they are based in Kilburn.
I love Rainbow Fabrics so much, I am forever checking their website for updates to see what has come in. The biggest reason for the love, is that they source their fabrics ethically, and its all deadstock. This means that it is fabric that, if not saved would go to landfill. Meaning all your Rainbow makes will be better for the planet, you can strut your stuff knowing you’ve helped the planet in the process!
It also means that you can pick up designer fabrics for a fraction of what they would normally cost, so keep your eyes our for deals!
Another great point to mention is they do a lot of extra wide fabrics which mean more fabric for less!
Blue Moth Fabrics is a UK based fabric shop that focuses on alternative and funky printed fabrics.
If you are looking for something individual and more unusual, this is the place to look. It is a little shop so there isn’t as much of a range as some of the other shops listed here but what they do have is really fun.

Not only do they stock a wide range of fabrics but they also sell fabric kits, which are great if you want to buy everything for your next project in one go!
