    Best places to buy fabric online?

    Where do you ladies find good vintage or vintage reproduction fabrics? I usually search on ebay etc for feed sacks etc which are great for tops, and other than that I usually stumble across things, for basics like Linen and wool and twills/drills it's not too bad but for authentic patterns...

    I am coming to London! Best places to shop?

    If you want drinkies and a Tiki feel go to Trader Vics in the basement of the Hilton hotel, Hyde Park, nearest tube Green Park, or the very posh Mahiki on Dover Street... Might get to see ones of the Royals falling out drunk as they tend to go in there... For pleasurable non clothes shopping...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Hey :) I can only go by what I was told, rightly or wrongly.... Most probably they must have got their facts wrong.... It is however a nice vintage style jumper which is realitively inexpensive, very hardwearing and easily obtainable, especially for people who aren't of standard vintage size...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    We still go on a regular basis, they opened it up again about 5 years ago and have car and bike nights, check out the website.... From what I gather they have put most of it back to how it was. Chillie cheese special is devine!!

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Well as I said I have to wash it in the bath... think of I Love Lucy with the grapes.... The royal crown pomade creates merry hell with the top of the roll so I have to soak it.... I usually spin dry it in a pillowcase as it is too havy to wring it out and then I dry it flat.... It has washed up...
