Fabric Suppliers
We have arranged with a New Zealand fabric supplier to offer good deals for Nancy Crow course participants. They will be either ordering the solid colours in specifically for us, or creating them specifically to your order. They are happy to order/create any amount in any colour. Their only requirement is one metre minimum in each colour.
- Remember to allow enough time for the merchant to order from their suppliers/ create the fabric. LAST DATE FOR ALL SUPPLIERS IS MID OCTOBER 2012 otherwise delivery is not guaranteed to get to us on time.
- Please check Nancy's descriptions (above) of the type and range of fabric needed.
- Overseas participants: NOTE - Storage has been organized at the venue for parcels coming from overseas.
