That and the business rates are so high - particularly in our popular town. It's such a shame. I now have to travel to Birmingham to buy any sewing stuff or resort to online buying. I like to see and feel my fabric before I buy! <br />Wish I had a craft room but I don't - just a couple of cupboards. I sew in the conservatory so I mainly sew in the Summer or warm Spring/Autumn days so I don't spend money heating the room. Lovely for light, though!!!Jane Eborallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129528958253092545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-89968002286844006262018-09-14T21:58:24.147+01:002018-09-14T21:58:24.147+01:00Those tops look so comfortable!

I was kind of relieved to learn you do use patterns, although it wouldn't surprise me if you came up with your own!<br /><br />Did I miss the reason why your fabric stores are closing? In our area we are fortunate to have several places to get fabrics including the usual 'big box' stores (although a few quilt stores have closed). When THE Major Chain store stopped selling fabric and crafts in our area a few years ago, there was a big hue and cry, and the fabrics - and crafts - were returned! A Great Victory! Although I am not a big purchaser of fabric, it is quite satisfying to see it back in the stores! Unfortunately, my sewing machine is 'buried' right now in my craft room, which I have to share with boring file cabinets and household files, and it's a chore to clear space on the 'desk' to sew! <br /><br /> <br /><br />Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-65053636781135562212018-09-14T21:38:36.945+01:002018-09-14T21:38:36.945+01:00Thank you :DThank you :Dcraftie sylviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287636037552933198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-80354185976317564802018-09-14T21:30:27.770+01:002018-09-14T21:30:27.770+01:00Wow, craftie sylvie you were quick!!!
