New Favourite Fabric Shop

I love living right next to Goldhawk Road! It saves me so much time (although also means I probably spend far too much money!)

My favourite shops are:

Goldhawk Silks & Trimmings
The other side of the tube station from all of the other shops, on the same side of the road as Shepherd's Bush Market, this shop is fairly new and is a fabulous haberdashery. It is the expanded upstairs section of A-One fabrics, run by 2 lovely, helpful ladies, and has a lot more crammed into the very tidy interior than you would imagine!

I go most often for: embroidery silks, bias binding, elastic, curtain tape, and fun trimmings.


A-One Fabrics
This is one of the biggest shops on the road, crammed full, just across the road from the tube station, and I think the cheapest shop on the road. I have found fabrics in there that are at least £1-2 less per m than identical fabrics in other shops, and they always give me discounts if I buy large lengths of fabric. They are also incredibly helpful and quick at re-ordering if I get to the end of a roll and need more. They are also one of the only shops who will give you a sample.

I go most often for: mainly work commissions, most recently pale washed denim, fabulous printed cottons, and silk chiffon for bridesmaids dresses.


Goldbrick Fabrics
And finally to the newcomer, but currently my firm favourite!! It has a very different layout inside from the others, and smells of new wood. All of the fabrics are very clearly grouped and labelled, and they have a whole rack of sample sections, which they are happy to give you a piece of. They have some amazing fabrics which you wouldn't find anything like in any of the other shops. Slightly more expensive per metre than the other shops, but totally worth it.

I go most often for: splurging on fabrics to buy for ME!! And for work commissions as it's so clear and easy to see their whole range.

All are open from 9am ish to 6pm ish (A-One closes for prayers on Friday lunchtime) and all are shut on Sundays.
