abendgules As the autumn nights draw in, my heart turns to sewing projects pile artfully scattered around our warming combi-boi flagstone hearth.
If you, like me, enjoy a seasonal fossick in Shepherd's Bush's fabric stores, I'm headed there this Saturday, 16th October, starting from Shepherd's Bush (Central line) station at 11am.
Shepherd's Bush Market is a gold mine of fabric shops good for the SCA clothier. I can show you our old favourites, and maybe you'll find a bargain remnant.
These are not chain stores, so a small amount of haggling is tolerated well; they're always glad to see me!
Expect prices from £4-8/m on linen, and mostly £6/m plus on wool, but can plummet to £2/m on occasion. Silk is in abundance too! but I can't tell you off the top what to expect in prices. Cash machines nearby, but all shops now take plastic.
If you'd like a guided tour of our these fabric treasure houses, please drop me a line and let me know to expect you. I'll meet you outside the barriers at Shepherd's Bush. Wear comfy walking shoes, and charge your phones.
Spectators welcome - if you're not certain what you want, or just enjoy the vicarious pleasure of watching other people stretch their credit, you're most welcome.
Warning WARNING Warning!
Much of the transport network is offline this weekend, esp Central, H&C, Overground, and bits and pieces elsewhere. Please CHECK your route!
