OMG, I love them all! But I think #2 is my favourite. I wanted to high five you through the screen for your deal on the pink and red fabric. Honestly this year i haven't just stepped in poop, I've fallen in a manure pile. Since April, half my probably 100 year old maple tree fell over our fence into the neighbour's yard, took out 2 fences, half of their shed, 1 lawn tractor, smashed a car, and took out another tree. The rest of the tree had to come down and removed, that cost $6000. My son's 2 month old car, leased in my name, was in an accident and totalled. After months waiting insurance finally paid out for the car. Thank goodness no one was hurt. Then my 12 year old oven died, new one cost me $1000. Finally last week, somehow, coming downstairs in the morning missed the bottom step and broke a bone in my foot! No more manure please! On the plus side I can sew with my left foot. I'm wondering what amazing things you will make with all that lovely fabric.
Amazing haul!! Some absolute beauties there. That first one is the same as the fabric I used for my Shay dress, just a different colour way. It's lush! x
Love all the fabric! And your reaction to the red/pink is wonderful. I remember Boyes in Beverley where my husband is from. Glad to hear the stores are still thriving. As for crying when daughters leave - mine is in her 40’s now and I cry when she arrives and when she leaves. So does she 😊
What a wonderful haul. I loved going to Boyes in Chester-le-Street when I lived in my home town. Now in Northampton nothing here. How I miss those bargains. Looking forward to seeing what you make. Love to listen to your accent. Miss Newcastle dreadfully. Xx
Lurve the pink/red no4 especially (ooooo 😀) and the green/pink Lady McElroy No5 (ahhh 😀). And No 1 (😍). Great value and some lovely choices. Enjoy your little treats. 👍
WOW an incredible haul. Love all of them and seeing your joy was wonderful. Cannot believe the value for money. Fabric envy here for sure- nowhere like that in South East Wales- just as well as I am on a fabric ban. And no, you will always cry when your daughter leaves but there’s nothing wrong with that. Happy shopping and sewing. Looking forward to seeing your plans. 😊 Lynne
Yes Lynne, same here. I’m a bit further west past Swansea and we just don’t have lovely fabric shops like they have elsewhere. Wonder why that is?! Frustrating! 😢
Love fabric two. Looking forward to your plans. I had a bit of a splurge this week two stretch fabrics (bamboo French Terry, sublime 😊 and the maroon deco crane yoga active wear jersey so silky! )from g &g and three amazing buys from pound fabric their cotton Lycra, the honeycomb jersey £1,50 a metre perfect cardigan fabric with added interest and beige leaves on navy jersey, it’s poly but great for easy wash, no iron days and a lovely pattern very stretchy. I’ve got to get sewing now no excuses 😅
My favourites were no 1 and 2. I was in Boyes a couple of weeks ago. It’s a retail park near Durham centre called the Arnison Centre. I picked up a Nerida Hansen fabric at £10 per metre…..it’s delicious.
Some gorgeous fabrics there! I really miss Boyes - although I now live on the south coast, we used to go on holiday to North Yorkshire every year and the nearest town had a Boyes - it was always the first shop we went to (even before the bakery next door!). Lucky you ❤ My favourite is the last one - I think it's beautiful. I can't think of anything else but slip dresses right now lol
Love all your vlogs. The fabrics amazing, gosh wouldn't I love a store like that in Ireland 🇮🇪. You've made my day. Love "the craic " also. Happy sewing
Number 5 is my favourite . If I didn't live so far away ( Norfolk ) I'd be popping up to Boyes in Scarborough tomorrow 😊 Looking forward to seeing your makes.
I'm loving the floral no 5 and number 1 - I tend to like abstract colourful prints with strong contrast. You did well in Scarborough - I though I might pop down myself!
I am so jealous of the apparel fabric and reasonable prices you have in the UK. over here in the states, in the midwest, I don't have access to such beautiful fabrics and if I do they are $12-15 a yard
Hi Alison, I went on a Boyes hunt just out of interest to see how far away the nearest one to me is .Couldn’t believe it when I realised there is a branch in Cambridge! I had no idea! Can’t wait to go and have a butchers, (that’s a bit of east end for you)😂
Love them all Alison❤ You’re reaction to the pink leopard print! Don’t we all just love a good bargain, especially when we manage to resist at full price 👍💕🤩
I like number 5 fabric best but they are all lovely fabrics. There was a small package waiting for me this morning when I returned home from shopping. Just a couple of metres of William (Morris type) Garden crepe de chine from Dalston Mill. It looks better here at home than it did online. I'm going to make a top with it but haven't decided which pattern yet.
favourites 2 & 5 Had a few days in York in December obviously made a mistake by not visiting Boyes (or did I - I do not need fabric repeat I do not need fabric) 😺
Gorgeous fabrics 😍 I love my local Notes stores - went in last week for an invisible zip and "accidentally" spend £ 96 on fabric! 😬😂 And didn't get the zip as they didn't have one the right length hahaha x
Wow! Very hard to pick a favorite, they are all o lovely! I think maybe #1 or 5. Maybe 4. Oh 3 is beautiful.. lol. I love them all! I can see why you chose them ❤. Thank you for your vlog!😊
Wow, amazing fabric and prices, I love 1,2 and 4. I occasionally visit Boyes in Blaydon but I’ve never seen any beautiful fabrics there unfortunately, I’ll have to have another pop in.
Hello Alison, brilliant fabric haul, my favs are 1 & 2. Enjoy planning what you are going to make with them, I’ll be watching your August plans vlog. Happy sewing 🧵
I love fabric no. 5. I would buy that if I saw it! As for my sewing, I am just about to make my first Fibre Mood Elisa blouse. I haven't used one of their patterns for ages and now I remember why! Why can't they just put out a pattern with the seam allowance and markings all integrated???? Also the instructions don't look good. Luckily I have just made the Donny shirt, so I am going to make it along those lines, so I am going to include a yoke and gathered back bodice.
They look great quality, Alison. I love number 1 and the purple one. There's a smashing Boyes in Northallerton (and, just down the road from there, Sew New). Durham Arnison is OK and I have had some gems from there xx
Hi Alison, I’m green with envy 🤢 what a fabulous lot of fabric and at terrific prices. Fabric over here in Western Australia cost double that price. Sewing 🧵🪡🇦🇺
I do have rather a lot of Boyes envy. I’m down in the south and we don’t have them or anything similar. I think I like 1 the most. It. Reminds me of the Tilly fabric we got in the SHJ box but blue.
Lush fabrics Alison, I wish Crammy. Boyes was bigger and stocked fabric. Our Sophie left yesterday morning and I cried buckets, always do. Mind you as you know I have cried swimming Pools lately. Have a wonderful SewToon. Hopefully see you soon. Xxx
I know I’m so gutted about Crammy Boyes need to venture to Blaydon Sending a big hug - I’ve plenty hankies Maz I would say happy to share ( you know what I mean) x
I love number 4 I visited the lovely Andrea last Friday and hoped to get some from her but it had sold out . Unfortunately I don’t live near a Boyes. Lovely haul, Seeing how excited and happy you were made me smile 🥰
Love the cotton lawn and the Lady McElroy no. 5 and now I am off to my local Boyes to see what they have - I have two within a few miles - aren't I lucky!!
I’ve got the pink leopard print from Jenny Stitches but what a bargain you’ve got from Boyes! We’ve not got one here in Scotland so I think I need a road trip south of the border! 😂
What amazing fabrics you’ve got at bargain prices, i love fabric number 1 , I haven’t got a Boyes near me in Cheshire but will be looking for locations, happy sewing .😊
Ooooo Aaaaahhhh wow Alison I wish the Boyes near me stocked Lady McElroy 😢I love number 2 it’s right up my street. Fabulous news about your mince pies 👀 Have a fab weekend 🥰
@@SewLikeDotty yes I once asked one of the staff and she told me it’s just pot luck what each store gets delivered 😳 obviously they must think everyone in my neck of the woods lives in poly cotton 😂🥰
Hi Alison, can I ask did you get your cataracts done on the NHS? Did you have them set for distance? I’m surprised that they are talking about piggy back lenses as I thought they would only do that if the outcome was really off and not only due to needing glasses for distance? As in, if the outcome is good enough and you just need glasses for distance then that is okay. I’m only asking as I need one eye done and have been putting it off - as I had laser eye surgery 20 years ago and it makes it more complex and unpredictable.

Catch up soon xx
Love all the fabric! And your reaction to the red/pink is wonderful. I remember Boyes in Beverley where my husband is from. Glad to hear the stores are still thriving. As for crying when daughters leave - mine is in her 40’s now and I cry when she arrives and when she leaves. So does she 😊
Awe that’s lovely for you both xx
What a wonderful haul. I loved going to Boyes in Chester-le-Street when I lived in my home town. Now in Northampton nothing here. How I miss those bargains. Looking forward to seeing what you make. Love to listen to your accent. Miss Newcastle dreadfully. Xx
Oh no! We should petition for a Boyes near you 🥰
Love them all but no 4 is my fave. We have Boyes in our town. When I was young they used to have 2 monkeys in a cage in the basement ❤
I read that to Carl he wasn’t shocked either 😂 I did say it was hard to describe
Lurve the pink/red no4 especially (ooooo 😀) and the green/pink Lady McElroy No5 (ahhh 😀). And No 1 (😍).
Great value and some lovely choices. Enjoy your little treats. 👍

Should we make a protest for more fabric in Wales x
It’s a bit pants isn’t
@@SewLikeDotty we should!, 😄
Would love to know of any sewing groups in SE Wales, particularly Monmouthshire!
Oh Alison, lovely fabric and it’s giving you fabric hugs. Hugs from me too. Xx
It really is!
I like fabric number 1 😊 can’t wait to see what you make with them all xx
Thank you! 😊

Fab fabric haul, I LOVE number 2, followed by number 1, wish they had Boyes down South. Thank you for sharing your lovely purchases x
Thank you so much strange isn’t it - just seem to be up north

Good job I went back to store or I would have missed that one
I love no. 1 and 5, look forward to seeing what you make, as always
Thanks so much 😊
Your so funny what brilliant shopping holiday you look like a Quokka sometimes especially when you are excited.🤣 I love the 60's print.
Oh thank you had to look up a Quokka 😂
Love all your vlogs. The fabrics amazing, gosh wouldn't I love a store like that in Ireland 🇮🇪. You've made my day. Love "the craic " also. Happy sewing

Looking forward to seeing your makes.
Oooo hope you get lots of treats 🥰
I'm loving the floral no 5 and number 1 - I tend to like abstract colourful prints with strong contrast. You did well in Scarborough - I though I might pop down myself!
Sounds like a fab trip out I went to Darlington today got 1 thing but the choice was no where near as good as last week x
I am so jealous of the apparel fabric and reasonable prices you have in the UK. over here in the states, in the midwest, I don't have access to such beautiful fabrics and if I do they are $12-15 a yard
For us too generally I’ve been hunting the bargains
but over there u have Joann’s & Hobby Lobby we don’t over here in the UK 🇬🇧 😢 xx
Hi Alison, I went on a Boyes hunt just out of interest to see how far away the nearest one to me is .Couldn’t believe it when I realised there is a branch in Cambridge! I had no idea! Can’t wait to go and have a butchers, (that’s a bit of east end for you)😂
That is awesome! Hope it’s stacked high with amazing fabric for you 🥰
I like #1. I will be excited to see what you make.
It’s lovely isn’t it
Love them all Alison❤ You’re reaction to the pink leopard print! Don’t we all just love a good bargain, especially when we manage to resist at full price 👍💕🤩
Bargains are the best x

😂😂😂 they have 2 stores in York
Wish USA hadn’t stopped sewing 🧵 back in 80’s. Hardly any decent fabric stores. Ordering from UK
Gorgeous fabrics 😍 I love my local Notes stores - went in last week for an invisible zip and "accidentally" spend £ 96 on fabric! 😬😂 And didn't get the zip as they didn't have one the right length hahaha x

Wow, amazing fabric and prices, I love 1,2 and 4. I occasionally visit Boyes in Blaydon but I’ve never seen any beautiful fabrics there unfortunately, I’ll have to have another pop in.
I still need to go there- the stores can be a bit hit & miss but always worth a look if there’s one near by x
Ooo love all of them but 1 and 2 are my favourites 😊
Yes me too
So good aren’t they
Love all your fabrics Alison!!! Makes me want to visit Boyes. We don't have one in Scotland though, so maybe a wee visit to the North is in order. XX
Sounds a good plan 😁

You made me chuckle thanks for your interaction x

Hi Alison. I like all of your fabric haul, but my particular favourites are numbers 2 then 1 😮👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! 😊
They look great quality, Alison. I love number 1 and the purple one. There's a smashing Boyes in Northallerton (and, just down the road from there, Sew New). Durham Arnison is OK and I have had some gems from there xx

What fab bargains you got! The pink/red animal viscose is my favourite, I also have this in my stash 🤩♥️🩷
It's so good! What do you fancy making with it ?
@@SewLikeDotty I’m a little undecided currently but I feel like it would really suit a dress
Yes for sure 👌
Love the cotton lawn and the Lady McElroy no. 5 and now I am off to my local Boyes to see what they have - I have two within a few miles - aren't I lucky!!
Oooo I’m so jealous did you find any treasure
Love your channel, love your fabrics and yes, I have the red/pink fabric x

Thank you! 😊
Heading to Doncaster Boyes tomorrow!!!
How did you get on ?
@@SewLikeDotty some of the pink and red viscose and some other autumnal viscose twill
Ooooo fabulous 🥰
Hi Allison, some great fabrics there. Have you changed your camera? You seem to be much closer than you used to be.
No I’ve changed rooms though so where I have the camera positioned is different I wonder if it’s that x
Love all your fabric but the cotton lawn would be lovely in the Nicks dress.. My daughter is moving from Canada to Scotland.. talk about crying
Will send you some tissues over 🥲
@@SewLikeDotty You'll need a boat to send them..
Oooooooooooh ahhhhhhhhhhhhh 😊
