Getting crafty: Collecting fabrics, buttons, yarn etc

Starting craft-supplies collection. Know places in London to get free/cheap materials (fabric, yarn, buttons, paper etc)? Please reply, ta.

Stuff I’m collecting:-

  • Buttons
  • Fabric, scraps, whatever*
  • Glitter; Glue; Safety pins; Stars
  • Magazines; Paper; Postcards
  • Paints, especially fabric paints
  • Yarn*
  • …etc


I’m vegan, so I don’t use animal fabrics like wool, leather etc); synthetic, man-made fibres like acrylic are perfect

If you have suggestions, I’d love to hear them! Please twitter me or email.
