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:

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.
