bargain fabric - Ikea

Just back from another trawl round the local Ikea - why is it that I go looking for a couple of mugs and end up filling the car? Anyway. They have some really good fabric in at the moment. In the children's section they're selling fabric 3m long x 120cm wide for £4.99

- it's all bright and cheerful, great quality and perfect for backings or kids quilts. In the main sewing section they have a selection at £1.59 a metre -

again, all very bright but at that price you're not going to go far wrong. I have used quite a bit of Ikea fabric and the quality is very good. morag

I love brights. The green and white, and pink and white prints could go into almost any quilt I'd make. The third print I'd save for the kiddies. I'm not willing to try using stripes yet though.

I've noticed that Ikea seems to have that 'car-filling' effect. Unfortunately the closest Ikea is 7 hours drive up to Brisbane, Oz but I have big plans for September! Meeting Eldest DT who's coming down to Brissie from Townsville. Will check Ikea's website for a range of kids fabrics, Youngest DT doing son's room at the moment, also in Townsville.....thanks for the heads-up, Morag. Wendy in NSW

We also have an IKEA store in Minnesota, near the Mall of America in the Twin Cities. It opened about 4 years ago. Last I checked Minnesota is also in the Midwest :)

WOW! I grew up practically in IKEA's showroom in VA (Dad was a HUGE fan!!), but I NEVER knew they carried fabrics!!

They even have fabric for sale online in the US online store:

I think the stuff they have in the UK stores is supposed to be for curtains too. But it's very lightweight stuff and much more like quilting fabric in weight than curtain fabric, which I always associate with being thicker. The stuff they sell in packs for children is just general "fabric", our local store has it displayed as wall hangings, bed coverings and blinds.

A while ago they had a range of "shabby chic" rose fabric which was rumoured to have been designed by British designer Cath Kidston. It sold like hot cakes and is now going for well over the odds on Ebay. I keep watching the website to see what they're getting in next!!
