What part of NL are you in Mamagus? I will be in St. John's mid June and know absolutely NO one there who sews!! I lived there for 18 yrs and have been in BC for 5 1/2 .. going to visit my daughter who went back in November for three weeks, got a job and is still there!! When I lived there I didn't sew, I made mohair bears and there was nowhere to buy my supplies .. I had to order it from either CA or Toronto .. I only know Fabricville .. dont tell me there are others ??? I see an empty suitcase coming with me LOL Maybe I'll have to leave some clothes behind.

MrsColumbo... When I lived in the Vancouver area many years ago, I loved going to the shops in Little India. Because I had my own business at that time, I also shopped the wholesalers in Steveston and Richmond. I won't have time for shopping when I get back to the lower mainland....driving back down tomorrow, flying home early Saturday morning.

If you're planning on driving there are several out around Bay Roberts including Wescals and if you're coming to Clarenville, Mercers on Marine Drive and WAVE creations in Harcourt are two good, reasonably priced stores. MY ABSOLUTE favorite store on the island is C&M Crafts in Carmanville but that is a LONG drive! Not do-able in a day for sure!

I won't be outside the city at all as I'll be there only for four days .. my mom is in a retirement home in Paradise so I will try that one you mentioned and my daughter lives in Airport Heights .. Fabricville is always good, they are related to our Fabricland out here ... I have been to Clarenville numerous times when I lived there .. it was a weekend away with the old bf to a nice motel down from the Irving ... nice area ...
