Hi -
I'm going to be on the west coast (U.S.) next week and am determined to
visit at least one fabric store! So, in San Francisco or in the LA area,

Well, I don't know if they are still there (we moved
east 15 years ago) but there used to be a couple of
silk warehouses in the LA garment district. Some of
the local folks can probably say for sure. Twenty
years ago I bought some really excellent Chinese silk
for a really excellent price. I
If you to go Berkeley, you might want to go to University Avenue, where,
stretched out over some blocks, is an Indian sari shop district. There
are a number of shops varying in quality and pricing. Also, just off
University is IMO the best Indian restaurant in the Bay Area. And one of

San Francisco:
The Silk Trading Company: Not a bargain outlet, but if you get any
chance visit the Silk Trading Company, which BTW is not open on
weekends. This is a huge, warehouse-sized store crammed with fancy

Went to see this movie yesterday. Of special interest to me was the
wardrobe of Dolores Umbridge. I think they cornered the market on pink

Hi,
I was wondering whether any of you have some recommendations for e-shops with
fabrics or shops that would send me a catalogue? Some shops that would have
basic fabrics like satin, taffeta etc. in various colours? I always get in
trouble when searching for one specific colour...

There is Fabrics R Us in San Jose, about 30 miles south of San Francisco.

I may get banned for saying this, but I was so irritated at the liberties
they took with Umbridge that she grated on me the entire movie. She is so
particularly described as frog-like and wearing an Alice Band (a hair band
