AtiyaThe Closet Historian put out a Fabric Haul video from her London trip in April, recently. I just finished watching it, and I'm super excited to see what she makes.
But she said something that shocked the heck out of me. Fabric is SUPER expensive there! Some of the fabrics she could find in the States were double or triple in price in the shops there.
She did find some nice things, but I got a little curious about the pricing. I did a very basic search, and two things were common in the three pieces I found. The authors all said Brexit and Covid inflation.
I'm of two minds. I feel very bad for anyone in the UK that has to pay crazy money for fabric. But I also no longer feel bad for not being able to afford the pretty fabric I saw after some British YouTube recommended a shop. Pretty much no one can, which makes me feel bad again. It's a vicious cycle.
Anyway here's the video: https://youtu.be/QpxCVDh023Q
