Best place to buy fabric

    Best place to buy fabric
    on: May 22, 2009, 09:17:41 PM
    I always see the cutest fabrics that people create their clothes, crafts, accessories, etc from and wonder. WHERE do you find such cute fabrics??? I have Hobby Lobby, Hancock and Joann's near me but feel so bound and limited in choices. Maybe I'm just not good at picking out coordinating fabrics?

    There is a LARGE fabric outlet of sorts about 1.5-2 hours from me, which is not convenient.

    Where do you get your fabric???

      Check out some of the fabrics here at S,M,S.   I found a design I really liked in a magazine and found the print  I liked but only in 3/4 of a yard.  Not quite enough, but I simply had to have it.  I'd also recommend Etsy-dot-com, and in the search box type in something like fabric by the yard.  There are a lot of stores out there .   That massive auction site, the one that starts with the "E" may be a good place to look.

      Coordinating fabric takes practice, and I'm still trying.

        I love fabricsupplies on Etsy.  They're wonderful people and they only charge you for what the shipping ACTUALLY costs which is really really nice.  Their shop is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5680709

          I just ordered a bunch of fabric from SewLoveFabric on Etsy.  They have a good selection.  I was looking for a pattern and 2 different sets of fabric by 2 different makers.  I was having a hard time finding someone with all 3 things and they did.  Super nice and very quick shipping.  Ordered on Tuesday, had product by Friday.
