Walthamstow Market in North East London is said to be the longest street market in Europe, it stretches all the way down the High Street and you can visit Tuesday to Saturday. I visit frequently and have many favorite shops that I have been visiting for years, most of the bricks & mortar shops are open 7 days a week but please check.
If you are not familiar with the area it is easy to reach either by tube or the Underground to Walthamstow Central, the overground runs from Liverpool St., for the Underground take the Victoria line.
I usually take the train to Walthamstow Central, walk down the whole market and jump back on the train at James Street at the bottom of the High Street.
Some of my favourite shops which are featured in this video are:
Zayan Buttons 138 High Street E17 7JS
Fabric Textile Central 134 High Street E17 7BS www.fabrictext...
The outdoor trims stall I feature is usually on the left as you continue to walk down the High Street in the direction of James St.
Saeeds Fabrics 94-96 High Street E17 7JY
saeedsfabrics....
Fabric Store 2 70 High Street E17 7LD
New Fabric Shop 91 High Street E17 7DB
Ribbons 89 High Street E17 7DB
Istanbul Fabrics 175 High Street E17 7BX

A short walk from Walthamstow market is the Forest Recycling Project - they have loads of fabric and haberdashery for low prices. Everything is prevented from going to landfill and can be a better choice than buying yet more new fabric. Their shop is at Bakers Avenue E17 and is open on Fridays and Saturdays.

My daughter lived there when at uni and I loved to visit! What a treasure trove it was and I still use a tablecloth I made for Christmas from then with fabric she brought me home. We live about 25 miles from Belfast and have so few fabric shops and nothing with prices like those!! I love your haul and that coating will make a fantastic coat especially as you know how it’s going to look. What a beautiful quilted coat for cold days. Thanks for the vlog x

Hi, I just found your channel. I was born in Walthamstow and grew up there. The market has changed tremendously over the years and thankfully survived. It's nice to see some of my secrets on camera! I learned about fabric by touch rather than it's description. I still visit every few months for some bargains!

You have inspired me to revisit Walthamstow. I haven’t been there for about 3 years. My favourite stall was the one outside Sainsburys = although on Tuesdays and Thursdays outside the shopping centre entrance. Did you notice if he is still there, please?
@gemimalondon
@gemimalondon 10 месяцев назад
Hi Sheree, it’s worth a trip to see if he is still there. There was a stall on the left as you are going down the market towards James St, that may be him. I visited on a Saturday so not sure which other days he is there, hope you enjoy your visit!

Nice haul! The same things would cost 2-3 times more in the States and that's when they are on sale. 😭 I look forward to seeing the finished camel coat. Is it wool? This fall has had me buying quite a bit of fabric. For once the stars were aligned and I found all on clearance online. A beige w/ black and red stripes which I turned into a boat neck top that can easily be dressed up or down. Now working on black jeans. I was very lucky to find heavyweight 14 oz denim with some stretch. The rest... Ponte knit, velvet, pima cotton broadcloth, stretch twill and corduroy. My sons paid for most of it.
@gemimalondon
@gemimalondon 10 месяцев назад
Hi Susan, yes I will be making the new coat and plan to reveal it soon! I “think” it’s a wool blend, most of the fabrics at the market are end of lines and left overs from manufacturers so have no labels, but for £20 I will take my chances! It sounds like you have a great collection of fabrics there and I am very impressed you are making jeans, I have never tried! Happy making x
@bohemiansusan2897
@bohemiansusan2897 10 месяцев назад
@@gemimalondon I made some jeans years ago but they were simple elastic waist for a paralyzed person. Lately it's been difficult to find natural fibers. I've had to go with wool blend for things but they have been 65%-85% wool. However I'm still doing happy dances for future projects.

Very interesting vlog. We are discussing a trip to the fabric shops of London, and this is very helpful. Would you say most of the fabric is of a synthetic composition? Or is there a good selection of cottons, viscose, cotton jerseys, etc? Not really keen on polyesters. Is this location better than Goldhawk Road? Thanks.
@gemimalondon
@gemimalondon Месяц назад
Hi, thanks! Walthamstow has alot of fabric shops, they vary but there is a good selection. Including - cottons, wools, linens, polyesters, silks as well as blends, vast selection of prints on various bases woven and jersey, also furnishing fabrics. Alot of the fabric they sell is end of lines and clearance - so it may not be labelled with fibre content. Overall it is a great resource, there are haberdashery shops too which are briliant value so worth stocking up on threads and zips. Hope that is helpful. I would go there over Goldhawk Road, i usually set aside a morning and go in every shop and come back with some great finds x

Hi Anne, thank you. There are alot of online suppliers I use - trimmingshop.com is good for general haberdashery. As far as fabrics go it depends what you are looking for, I buy from alot of wholesalers but ebay is excellent for a wide variety of fabrics. Let me know if there is anything specific you are looking for and I will try and help, Rachel
