Try http://www.thousandsofbolts.com/index.cfm for fabrics Just remember to keep your order to under £18 to avoid Import duties. For under £18 you can get 6 yards of Cotton and 4 yards of flannel go into a USP envelope which costs approx; £10

http://www.threadart.com/shop/category.aspx?catid=2 for threads.

If you use this site http://www.xe.com/ to convert the currency you will see how much you can save, honest as I use them ALL the time.
