They don't open every day just all day friday and sunday morning, it gets full of chattering women........and a few men in the corner near the coffee machine.....;0)

oh thats strange? why dont they open more often?
cristina did you get two flags out of a fat quarter? or more?

No Idea,,.they never have......its only recently they developed a website, I think its a family run thing....look at the prices though....

lol let start a hobby craft site now !!!!!!!! i only buy the letters from hobbycraft as not found any where else , but there is a lady on f.b who makes them , but they are £2 00 .......... fabric is a ripoff at h.c so dont get it ........ i get mine from a shop near us , nice cotton fabric bt £3 40p a mt. .......... i buy 1/4 met of each design .......... .
you get between 3 or 4 flags double sided out of each piece . and i do 2mt long with 9 flags . if its going on a wall , you can just back them with a cheaper plain cotten . and make more flags !!
i bind mine with lenths of pretty match ribben and if you want names on hobbycraft do the iron on ones . hope this helps with costings works out bt a fiver gv or take lol xxx happy bunting !!!!!!!!!!! great for garden partys
