I think that 3 is fabrics, being Satin and Tweed with a third one I cannot work out but which could be Viyella if the D is a typo for V.

Hi Cue. Nice puzzle.
If you can't dance, don't blame the dance floor.

You all amaze me Lex, you picked a real toughie. I was thinking about this clue and thought it didn't give much to go on. I thought about changing the way the puzzle works the next time I put one together. Anyway, I added a bit to the clue for #3. Thanks, Curly

I thought about changing the way the puzzle works the next time I put one together. I think the puzzle is great as it stands, despite the fact that I have no idea of the answer to 3!

3 now looks like writers, perhaps Austen, Doyle, Atwood, Christie and Rowling (although that does not quite fit with your earlier vowel hint... )

Keeping you on your toes, Lex I did notice that I'd missed a "u" in that hint when I posted these add ons. Anyway, future clues will have to be more adequate to be able to come up with an answer without too much gray hair and head scratching.

My main problem was picking Doyle and having to check that Conan Doyle was not a hyphenated surname (as I thought it might be)! No harm at all in having something in The Garden causing extra brain damage.
