I finally escaped my sewing space and took you with me on a proper fabric hunt in the English Lake District—Kendal and Barrow, Cumbria. This video is part travel day, part fabric shopping therapy, and 100% me getting excited over textures, drape, and “will this actually earn its place in my capsule wardrobe?” decisions. I share what I picked up, what caught my eye, and the kind of practical thoughts I always have running in the background—how a fabric will wear, how it’ll mix with what I already own, and whether it’s going to be a joy or a headache to sew. I shop at Cool Crafting (including their sale section) and also point you towards Cumbrian Sewing and Crafts online. We talk through some gorgeous options like viscose for floaty makes, a jacquard with a bit more structure and drama, and a quilted/double gauze situation that basically screams cosy layers. If you love a haul but also want the real-life “what am I actually going to make with this?” planning, this one’s for you—wardrobe wins, crafty chaos, and all.
