This instalment of the Dalek Game is for Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials. I really want the Weeping Angel fabric.
The shop in this picture is named for Abram’s Drapers in Miles, one of many Lebanese-founded drapers, tailors and haberdashers that exist – or used to exist – across the Darling Downs. I miss those shops – offcuts and ribbons and bolts of dusty old fabric, stacks of hats, hooks full of zippers, boots, lace motifs, stork-handled scissors and tatting bobbins. One in Dalby still had the hand-cranked cage on wires which once delivered change to the counting-room at the back of the store. I remember that even in the late ’90s in Brisbane there was still a haberdashery counter in Myer department stores in Brisbane.
Ace Drapers in Roma, however, was alarming – odd helpful assistants looming out of the ancient gloom between the shelves, and vanishing up the box-crowded sweeping stairs to prowl through the upper floors and return with what you desired.
His Dark Materials is not about fabric, but I have not yet forgiven Philip Pullman for killing off my favourite character.

Weeping Angel Fabric, for clothes you can’t take your eyes off.
Always entertained by your Daleks Kathleen
Thank you :)
I believe I’ve seen Dalek fabric on the Internet. I think I even out a link up on my FB wall, but that was ages ago.
I seem to recall that… :)
I would buy ALL that material!
Cough, Spoonflower is a good source for fan-designed DW fabric and other stuff, it’s like the Cafe Press for fabric. The really awesome thing is that you can order any design on the site in a choice of weights, so if you find the Dalek fabric you prefer, you could upholster a CHAIR in it.
Yes… I have even considered making some. I have a few weeping angel sketches for it somewhere about my desk, but then I decided there were Other Things I Could Be Doing.
Love your icon, by the way!
