UV fabric in onsake online at myfabrics.co.uk and I'm positive I've seen it at other online shops, at better prices. My search was for cotton jersey or viscose jersey and OKEO TEX for children's leggings. Can't find much right now though.

1st for Fabric

Frumble

Harvey Jacobs, as well as the others mentioned.

All good for cotton lycra.

I also love the fabric at Second Star Fabrics.

I've made the kids some swimming robes. There's a free adult pattern too.

Here's my blog and pearls of wisdom on the subject!

Caboodle is great.

HJ have sent me short fabric a couple of times, took a long time to get a refund on a preorder and I'm still waiting on some preorder stuff that was expected a while ago.

That's frustrating, Purps! I've found them good so far...

I've made a dress. I'm really pleased with how well I matched the pattern across the seams (centre front, centre back including invisible zip, and side). I'm annoyed that the fit is bad -- shoulders all wrong, too long in the waist, v neck gaping.

That's a lovely dress, Drell - but the cardi is really special :)
