I have a few sewing projects in my head, but I'm really struggling to find nice, reasonably-priced fabric online.
.
So here's where you come in.
.
Can you give me links to online fabric stores that :
- sell cheapish fabric,
- ship Internationally if they're in the US,
- sell in lengths bigger than Fat Quarters (ideally in metres, but yards will do)
- sell unusual, interesting, retro, Kawaii type prints for using on children's items
.
I'm hoping with the power of blogging that I get lots of lovely linky-doos to check out.
.
Please leave your recommendations in the comments.
.
And because I can't possibly have a post without a photo ...

This is a website my mom uses. They have a wide selection, but not the cute kawaii stuff. They ship internationally, but I don't know if it's cheap or not!

That's all I got. I'm not sure of the prices.
I hope you find some great fabric!
Check out eBay. I know it sounds bizarre, but I have had some fabulous fabric bargains from there. There are some American sellers who ship delicious fabric over here, and British sellers who deal in everything from basic twill, to recycled fabrics, to ... just about anything you want.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it. x
Oh, there's some drool-worthy sites there!
ReplyDeleteKeep your recommendations coming!
I can never get bored of looking at fabric sites :o)
Have you tried Abahkan fabrics? Not the most cutting edge of fabric sellers, but sometimes you can find a gem:

Hello my name is Mummy Boo Bear and yes I am a fabricaholic!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a few websites that I quite sadly drool over. I found this new one only a few days ago, dont think they have been running for long but do some lovely quirky stuff they are called and I love this :-
Fabric Rehab - www.fabricrehab.co.uk
there is also this one
Cotton Patch -
www.cottonpatch.co.uk
and this
www.fabricinspirations.co.uk
and this one which is American and I have had some fabric from them last year (when it did work out slightly cheaper) and they were great.
www.fabric.com
I think all of them price it as a fat quater you order how much you want and they send it to you in a full metre or yard!!!
Hope thats helpful!

Thanks for the link. Have you received buttons from them? I've never ordered anything from Hong Kong.
