Your gorgeous Italian Check Wool – Brown Tweed. I'm challenging myself to make a tweed dress and jacket for the autumn – I've got the pattern, now I need the fabric and this'd be perfect!
The vintage print fabrics like Tempete Silk – Blue!!! They look amazing online, would love to see them up close!
Your whole selection of Linings as I could colour match to my hearts content and discover those Ive never seen such as power mesh.
the Deena Stretch Cotton Sateen, I have it as a sample but would like to see the print on a bigger surface. I can't decide if it is too busy!
You Can Toucan Stretch Cotton – Mint – though if I haven't broken down and bought it before then it will be a miracle!
Please bring the chloen floral viscose. I'd love to see it in real life and can think of lots to do with it.

um. Can you bring one of each type of fabric? in the form of a swatch? i get confused by all the different fabric types and as i buy a lot online, id be happy to buy a swatch if there were any leftover! I'm particularly trying to understand all the different jersey/stretch/knit fabrics so they'd be good to have along.
Love to see the toucan cotton please! Yoleey2k@yahoo.com
I would bring lots and lots of Yate Silk – Royal Blue.

I'd love for you to bring the terry backed jersey in blush. Think it would make a great linden sweatshirt. beccaneale22@hotmail.co.uk
I'd love to see the feathers viscose but I know it had all sold out :'( I'm also quite taken with Inverso viscose though!

So hard to make a decision but I'd like to see the regatta viscose or anything nautical/blue!
This http://www.fabricgodmother.co.uk/isabella-wool-viscose-jersey-french-navy/ because I would love to see the colour and texture in real life and it would be quite an investment! Also, and don't know if you do this already, having a strokey bit of expensive fabrics would be great as I don't like to muss up the rolls until I am sure I am interested. Hope this helps! (Email Clusterofhedgehogs at gmail.com if I am lucky!)
