The Ebay seller I like on Ebay is wfawspring, it can be found under crafts - fabric - sellers.

I've only bought one bit so far but the service was practically immediate and the fabric is lovely. Not sure whether it's expensive, new to all this but I love the classic and retro designs the fabric measured.... I think about 30cm + by 40 cm +. Alot of the retro stuff is apparently from Japan.

The prices are between about £1.95 up to £4.00 with 95 p p+p or 35p for subsequent items. They sell loads of other things too, fabric buttons, quilting stuff etc etc. Haven't had time to REALLY look around it.

Not sure whether they sell large sizes and  can't be felt at the time but I want to start with small basic projects only just having learned what I'm doing with sewing machine and also I try to avoid going to Aberdeen unless I have to.

Also was thinking great for sourcing material for youngest daughter's future moon rabbits. Don't need to but want to find things that would really appeal to her.

Actually just did some window shopping there, also found CelticFusion who provide fabric at different sizes. (Earlier size was a FQ), plus hideaway designs, Vintage Pretty and Fabric Rehab.

Lots coincide a bit but worth looking at I think.

I often have small remnants that would be fine for turning into moon rabbits or patchwork. I never like throwing them out, but I could offer them on here for anyone who wants to use them up - thanks for indirectly giving me the idea FMN. Should have some cotton jersey bits and bobs soon too.
I can now have a ruthless clearout without feeling traumatised

Chucking anything out traumatises me, I'm the original, it may come in useful!
