I know I asked this a couple of years ago, but in case there are newbies here who might know:
Can anyone recommend a good place to buy fabric (for home sewing) in London? We are thinking about a trip down there later this year, with maybe an overnight in Durham or Newcastle to break up the travel. (So if there's a place in one of them?) The Daughter does a lot of her own sewing and has had hell finding things like good quality cotton (only, not poly-cotton) fabric, cotton (only) thread, linen, etc., here. Is there a "garment district" (as in LA or NYC) in London? Or some other area where fabric stores or, at least, crafting stores that might have fabric?
