Why shop fabric in person

Photos only tell you so much. In store you can:

• Feel the hand and drape of a fabric before you commit to a length.
• Hold fabrics side by side to match colours, linings and trims.
• Check weight, stretch and opacity for the exact garment you are making.
• Ask our team, who work with these fabrics every day, how a fabric will behave under the needle.
• Buy exactly the amount your pattern calls for, cut to length with no minimum.
