Belfast, Durham & Newcastle - fabric stores

Sep 17, 2007 2 Replies

Hello Happy Sewists!



I usually lurk, I have a question for the group. Am heading overseas to Belfast, Durham & Newcastle-on-Tyne in a couple of weeks and was wondering if there are any good fabric stores in these cities or nearby? I'll be using public transit in England, and renting a car in N. Ireland and going as far as Dungannon, Co. Tyrone.



I'm looking for fancy fabrics, "dance fabrics", anything wild and wonderful. Not quilting or home dec fabrics. I don't think I need any woollens, unfortunately I have no need for suits anymore.



Any suggestions? TIA Sheila in Calgary

Thanks, Kate! Those are great suggestions, especially the Yell.com site - I can look up the other towns/cities as well.
