Fabric galore by busylady

Fabric galore

I was helping at this fabric sale today organising and serving refreshments. A supplier comes to this venue every two years and attracts local patchworkers and sewers. We did well with the refreshments, served in a separate room where other traders were selling their goods. This was taken earliy on before it got too busy.
Btw, I did buy some fabric of course. Some backing fabric for a quilt I'm working on and some fat quarters
I remember when stores had a fabric section. I took quilting classes and the shop had beautiful material makes me nostalgic

Ooh my , what an array of fabrics ! - takes me back to the 60's and 70's when sewing and 0fabric crafts were much in vogue !

A paradise for sewers and quilters, such a wonderful selection. A great idea to serve refreshments to keep everyone happy.

That is a huge selection! With refreshments it must be a fun outing for the sewers.

Looks wonderful I would have loved to browse through those bales and I don't quilt. Great shot.

Now that is somewhere that Katharine would love to have been, happy to add more material to her collection awaiting sewing! Be honest, did you give way to temptation and buy material there?

@beryl I think they are very much back in vogue again now Beryl, especially with the Sewing Bee on TV so popular.

Wonderful, just look at all that fabric, wonderful, I used to sew and this would have me enthralled but I’ve moved away to other crafts. I have made a lot over the years, wedding and bridesmaid dresses, coats skirts blouses all my daughters’ dresses and play clothes but got to say it was all out of necessity and not for pleasure!!

I’m not a sewer at all but can appreciate & enjoy this picture of all these lovely bolts of fabric. I think to be able to sew is on a par with being able to play the piano…we all wish we could! Sewing Bee on this Wednesday…can’t wait!

Love fabric shots for all the color and texture, but no idea how to turn it into anything functional!
