Midland Textiles

One of the best shops for fabrics and unstitched Asian outfits in the Sparkhill area is Midland Textiles. It’s a fairly large shop with a wide range from very simple, causal fabrics to very heavy and pricey outfits.
As you enter, you come across the cheaper fabrics. The deeper you go into the shop, the more expensive the fabrics tend to get. These are heavily embroidered designs on pure fabrics like silks and dasheens, so the price is reasonable for what you get.
They also have plain fabrics in commonly used fabrics like satin, crêpe and chiffon. And they stock various designs of embroidery strips that are fantastic to add to an outfit you get made or as trimmings to home decorations (curtains or cushions).
The staff members were helpful but not very warm and welcoming. They could make more of a concerted effort with customers for a better shopping experience.
