I am so pleased to report that my trip to Flers was successful. Found the fabric shop and it is fantastic! Really helpful chap who speaks a little English, an abundance of fabric at sensible prices, a remnant shelf, loads of trimmings, zips, buttons etc. I will be a regular customer! Bought the fabric to make the curtains and blinds for the Gite plus a couple of remnant pieces for other projects. I am a very happy bunny!
