Haberdashery Obsession
Posted by Rebekah Roy on July 9th, 2008
I’ve spent the last week in and out of fabric shops and I can’t imagine not having access to ribbon, lace and trimmings. I feel so happy when I’m in a haberdashery or lovely fabric shop! It’s a great place for a designer, stylist or fashion student to look for inspiration. You never know how much a particular piece of lace or ribbon is going to inspire or influence your work!

I love M& C too. I also love Robson & Mason (www.robsonandmason.co.uk) becasue they stock the same bias binding as M & C- but cheaper!
I was reading about Robson and mason haberdashery yesterday on little cotton rabbits. It’s a great blog.
I ordered a load of things, about 50 metres of ribbon, feathers, thread etc etc and it came to about 25quid with £3.95 delvery.
I can;t waiti to get it in the mail because it all looks so cute!
What did you buy from M &C ?

Thanks for the tip about Robson & Mason.
