I know this isn't a selling journal but I'm in a bind trying to find fabric for a college project and was wondering if anyone here could help me source fabric.

I'm doing a design project this term and will be making some of the garments next term, they will most likely never be sold as will fit the college dummies not a real person. I'm doing my project on Japanese alternitive fashion so am looking at EGL and Japanese punk as my main insperation. I like alot of the tartan punk stuff but would rather use bright pink plaid that looks like a true tartan but the wrong colour (being Scottish I'd like to have tartan involved in a tounge in cheek way).

I've seen a few bright pink tartan punker items for sale but I need to buy the fabric and so far the closest I've came is a fleece with a Scotty dog border from a site that won't ship to the UK. I'm basically looking for a cotton or poly-cotton of a weight that would be suitable for trousers bright pink and black, will need 5 meters or more I think, I wanto to make some stuff for myself as well as the project.

Please either post here or you can e-mail me on pierced_girl_23@yahoo.co.uk if you know of anywhere that might be able to help,

Thank you in advance

Karen
