Comment	Fabric Remnant Kings has two locations in the city centre, the newer one on Howard Street is behind St Enoch Centre and near the Clyde. It's very interiors orientated and good for upholstery and curtains. The older location is on the first floor of the building on the corner of Argyle Street and Buchanan Street. House of Fraser occupies the ground floor but the shared entrance to Remnant Kings is next to a branch of Timpson's. If you're fine to do it, both shops are are a short walk from each other, you can cut through the St Enoch centre or walk round it, past the Underground station. There are few steps to get into the Argyle Street building but there's a working vintage lift. There's a Remnant Kings in Edinburgh so maybe you've already been there? The Howard Street is good for actual remnants if that appeals. Mandors Fabric Store is on Renfrew Street, not far from the art school and Cowcaddens underground station. I'm no expert but I think Mandors has a good selection of clothing and upholstery fabrics and its good for wool, buttons, and other small accessories. Over near the Barras Market there is Fabric Bazaar on London Road. It's good for budget material and has one sales assistant that is particularly helpful. Craft Caas Art on Queen Street, big, well laid out store that's part of a UK wide chain. There are art supplies inside Paperchase on Buchanan Street but I believe that these are supplied by Caas. Millers on Stockwell Street is/was the last independent art store in Glasgow but it's been shrinking over the years and recently joined with Greyfriars of Edinburgh. There's small art store over in Hillhead called Draw Art that stock quality pens, inks, paper, etc. It's one of a fair few small businesses in De Courcy's Arcade on Creswell Lane and if you go you'll pretty likely find something else of interest.
