A few weeks ago I went for a quick dash during a very rare lunch break to Soho to check if 'Kleins' had any metal purse frames. They did but not the ones I was looking for. A bit disappointed I left, intending to walk straight back to the tube station. But.
But at the corner of Noel and Berwick Street is the Cloth Shop and I thought "Oh come on a quick visit won't harm....... I surfaced 30 min later (which isn't bad considering) with the most gorgeous linen fabric imaginable. Quite frankly if I had the means I could have spend a fortune there. I wanted everything they had. But sensible (or almost sensible) as I try to be I bought just a few pieces of linen.
The first three images are linen with a wonderful old fashioned print on it. This is canvas weight and I am planning to make some cushions with it. It feels so luxurious.
In addition I bought these wonderful cotton squares that can be used as napkins.
Anybody fancy to come around for dinner ?

Love the printed fabric, are they old receipts? Have only been down Soho once and that was for a meal one night, you are so lucky to have all the lovely shops on your doorstep. Linda

Never knew that there were fabric shops anywhere in Soho!? Great linen I really like working with the stuff for the texture and feel of it and hand stitching it is heaven!

Wow! What incredible finds... I was so bummed, though, when I discovered that you meant Soho in England. I thought you meant the Soho section of New York. Glad you found the fabrics, though! Look yummy.
Thank you for your comments! I love reading them and will answer every question you have on my projects. But I have a very busy daytime job and am therefore not able to thank each and every comment. Please don't be offended if I won't reply.
