Provence style fabric suppliers

Berlioz 07/05/2008, 14:01

I have checked out the local 'Tissus a metre' shops but they do not seem to have a very large range. Does anyone know of/ordered from an on-line store that is either French or delivers to France?

Merci,

Try searching for "tissus en ligne" or "tissus au mètre".

I have just found a BRILLIANT website that does mail order provençale fabrics :

www.fayence-tissu.com

WONDERFUL collection of fabrics and accessories. Fabrics that I looked at were around 10 to 11€ a metre/150cm wide.

Thanks for both the websites I am going to bookmark these.

Callie I especially liked the one for the provençale fabrics, wide width fabric and very reasonable.

Cendrillion, it was thanks to your query that I did a search and just stumbled on their website. I wouldn't have thought of looking on line - I know where I'm going to get my fabric now!

Callie, I wasn't the OP who asked the question but never mind Smile [:)]

Re. Provençale fabric: I would be interested to know what the of "weight" is like, so if you do buy some please let me know.

In the past I have bought provençale fabric in the marche St Pierre in Paris. I used it to make a quilt, it was very cheap but was definitely furnishing weight and a heavy fabric to sew. It was fine for a machine pieced and machine quilted item but no good for hand quilting.

Ooops, sorry Berlioz.....and Cendrillon....
I would be surprised if the fabric was as fine as quilting fabric - but I will certainly let you know, Cendrillon.

I wonder if they would send samples for colour etc?

Saw this site and remembered the Toile de Jouy question:
