i never knew of this site!

(im from county cork)
hickeys is so expensive,(limerick) that its hardly worthwhile driving there! (imo)

i usually order off etsy.com
the people are nice and friendly and the range to choose from is amazing!
and most people dont overcharge on postage!

I use Etsy too, choice in Ireland is so poor and so expensive.

In Sligo there is a fabric shop upstairs in Lyons. I'm sure you know it but if not.....Its at the end of wine street where it joins with the pedestrian main street.

might be worth a look...

just thought of guineys in castlebar too they wouldn't be very expensive either....

In the last few years the choice has increased dramatically.
Vibes and Scribes have a craft shop at the bottom of Patrick St in Cork city, the cork craft shop ( in paul st shopping centre, opposite the tesco in the city centre) has updated and gotten a lot more variety in its stock.

I need some tulle for a Hallowe'en costume, but I'm working in South Dublin and can't get into town this week. Does anyone know of somewhere I could go to get this in the South Dublin area?

I was looking at craft cafe/fabric matters in Bray, but the phone number doens't work and the website is down so I don't know if they're still open.
