Livingstone Textiles is a real, old fashioned fabric shop so why not call in for a browse when you’re nearby?  You’ll find us in Bridport, Dorset, off the main street, conveniently beside the Waitrose carpark. Our shop is an historic ropemaking building, with rooms of nooks and crannies filled with gorgeous fabric and much, much more. Come and explore!

All of the Livingstone Textiles team are enthusiastic stitchers and knitters who will be happy to help you make your choice. Whether you want fabric for dressmaking, soft furnishings or an interesting craft project we will talk it over with you, and if you’re still not sure, you can take samples you want away to think about.

We love fabric! Livingstone Textiles is a family run fabric, haberdashery and yarn store based in Bridport, Dorset. As an old-fashioned fabric business with the latest designs, we stock a huge range of fabric on the roll at our shop, with even more available to order from samples.

Racks and racks of roll stock, with fabrics for curtains, cushions, upholstery and blinds as well as rooms full of fabric for dressmaking and crafts. Because we stock so much we always offer free snips and samples for you to take home and think about. You can also borrow any of our fabric books and hangers to help you make up you mind.

It’s not just fabric! We also stock all the things you need to finish your project (and much, much more!) you’ll find buttons, zips and ribbons galore as well as trims for every sort of sewing project you can think of, including dressmaking, furnishings and upholstery.

I fell in love with some velvet fabric online ❤️ I got in touch and a sample was sent out and it arrived the next day. I ordered the fabric and it arrived promptly. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience in dealing with this Company. The people I spoke to were so helpful. My email queries were dealt with straight away and I felt that my custom mattered. I have recommended you to so many people in the past few days. I’ve reupholstered my dining room chairs and have yet toPaint them, but I am thrilled with the result. Thank you! 😊

A little off the beaten path but a very large selection of fabrics and patterns. Everything from lace to upholstery fabric. Friendly and helpful staff were happy to advise on fabric choice and thread selection. Wife insists we go back again. Car park right outside and a nice cafe nearby.

Excellent company. I ordered net curtain which arrived promptly. The packaging was recycled paper. Inside there was a postcard which was handwritten and it thanked me for my order and said if there were any queries to contact them. I would certainly highly recommend them!

Found this shop whilst on holiday. It's range of fabrics is amazing. Wanted to get fabric for curtains and the staff were really helpful. Chose fabric and their price for making up curtains and posting them to me was really good. Curtains are such good quality. Thank you so much Sophie.
