DRESSMAKING/CRAFTS Vintage textile fair

I have been very lucky today! I have known about the Hyson textile fairs for a while, they have talked about in many magazines, Country Living to Molly Makes, but I have never been able to make it, which is a true shame when Honiton and Chagford are both only 45minutes drive away.

Well today I have indulged myself, seeing as it is Summer holidays. The Honiton textile fair was easy to find in a little church hall off the busstling market town. I was instantly taken by this lovely cross stitch sampler just sat in the door way.

The hall itself was small enabling a dozen stalls, but each had wonderful selections of fabrics ribbons,trim and buttons. All I can say was it was heavenly!!

I got a little carried away and bought a few trims, and fabric ready to make my autumn wardrobe. I now wish I had bought a few more too!!

The buttons are ceramic, and totally lovely! The fabric they are sat on is a nice wool and the flower fabric of which there is meters of is a heavy cotton.

All in all a fab day, and yes I will be making it again and to the Chagford market to, as I now know how great it is!
