I get mine from Hobbycraft or The Range. What are you after?

Ive got some of the gorgeous pink sheep fleece fabric (which i actually love and want to wrap myself in lol!) so i just need some pink ribbon to do the edges in so i have a blanket for the crib :)

Its so annoying not having any shops here! Well we do have a wee haberdashery but she charges as much for a meter as you could buy a while bloomin role of ribbon elsewhere!

Hmmm, maybe an inch? That would give you just over a cm at each side, any less might be a bit too narrow for you to sew.

Yeah, that or two inches if you want to fold the edges underneath on each side so it looks neater. Wouldn't say any more though.
