Fabric Shopping Fabulousness

So while I was heavy into trying to find my dream fabric for my upcoming 1584 Venetian dress (musn’t sew! must pack!), and trying to find online fabric stores that I hadn’t previously heard of, I came across Fabric Whore. In addition to having a great name, it’s the best, most comprehensive listing of online fabric stores that I’ve found. In particular, two that I wish I had heard about earlier: Design Diva and Fabric Guru.

In other news, I am in Packing Land, with movers coming Friday. Then it’s off Friday night to the Central Coast Renaissance Faire (aka SLO). THEN I can finally start unpacking, and start thinking about sewing…

  1. I thought you knew about Design Diva. I will say, when you were searching for the perfect green fabric I looked there, because I was *sure* they would have something. Nope, nada, zip, ZERO! I want chicken fabric

  2. Did you see that amazing Indian print silk!? An amazing price for it too! Thanks for the link.

  3. I’m not allowed on Design Diva. I keep wanting their countdown specials. *twitch*

  4. (Chicken fabric? Seriously? Try equilter.com – that’s where I found pink poodle fabric. – Frannie)

  5. Design Diva has positively some of the best customer service ever! Very friend, fast, and careful shipping. Um….*twitch*…it’s not like I buy there all the time….right?
