Depending on where you live, try Exotic fabrics in Karaoglanogl, it is just after the post office on the left hand side coming from the Girne direction, or up in Catalkoy village there is a little tailors shop and the tailor who is called Ibrahim is excellent too! Both very good as tried and tested!

I do and it is a wonderful lady by the name of Fatma.

Take the one way system in Alsancak until you get to the rear of the Mosque and just before the Mosque on the right hand side are two large wooden doors. If they are locked then call in at the house on the opposite side of the road and ask for Fatma.

Any problems in finding her just let me know.

Fatma is a lovely lady who did a great job on some curtains of ours. She speaks English and is, in our experience, more likely to be open in the afternoons.

Exotic Kumas, Karaolanoglu. Wife been using them for 4 years. Very good and reasonable prices.
