fabric stores in Europe??
Christy, I hope you're going to Paris! There are some wonderful places to shop
there, including, but not limited to, Montmartre, which has at least a dozen fabric stores. There's also a wonderful button and yarn shop near Les Halles. I thought I had a link to it, but can't seem to find it. But I found it through Google, so hopefully you also can. And if you go to Florence, a must-see is Casa dei Tesutti. Wonderful (mostly Italian) fabrics, beautiful store, and handsome Italian men to wait on you. What more could you ask? LOL Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |

In London: the V&A Museum in Knightsbridge and Libertys in Oxford Street. There are many other fabric shops in and around Berwick Street, near Liberty, that are worth looking at. -- Sally Holmes Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England |

Their website is only in Swedish, but there is a brochure in English that I can snail mail you if you would like to send me your address. This museum is definitely a must see!!! hth Erin Winslow |

Southall has lots of Indian fabric shops, and there's my favourite out at Wembley - BL Joshi UK ltd.

Also if it's still there the musem of costume in Bath, lovely place if my memory does not decieve me, inspiration for my bridesmaids dresses. I was having a 1930's moment. Claire |

If you are coming to Sweden, be sure to visit the Textile Museum in Borås.
And I believe you can get a factory tour of Husqvarna Viking, which is in Sweden, but I can't think of the city it's closest to. Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |

It's near Jönköping and about 1 hours drive east from Borås. hth Erin Winslow |

If you're in Sweden you should also visit the Silk Mill in Stockholm. Still
producing silk with old methods. See http://www.kasiden.se/english.htm for more information. Anne-Charlotte "SewStorm" wrote in message ... Husqvarna. :-) (yeah, I'm a smart-ass!) You're kidding me! Is there really a city in Sweden called Husqvarna? Love it! Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |
