Is there Soft Furnishing Fair

[susie c One Needle Find all posts View Profile Close susie c]

Hello everyone
Is there such a thing as a 'fair' of some description loosly based/dedicated to soft furnishings. I can find stitch, craft and hobby fairs but they don't seem to mention soft furnishings and I was wondering/hoping that somewhere one might exist and a day of indulgent retail therapy can be planned.
Thanks
Susie

Re: Is there Soft Furnishing Fair

I don't think there is a dedicated show. there is 'Interiors' at Birmingham but that is a trade fair, and you cant shop there, (plus there's very little soft furnishings). I demonstrate at Sewing for Pleasure and Creative Stitches and I'm the only soft furnishings stand (and sometimes feel I'm one of a dwindling number of sewing stands!).

There is the problem that fewer people sew nowadays, and of course ready made is so cheap.
