FABRIC DIRECTORY: WHERE TO BUY APPAREL FABRIC ONLINE
I have curated a list of over 40 online fabric stores I recommend. I have also included some speciality notion shops at the bottom of the list.
Note: I love to wear rayon (even though it's trick to sew!), so I wanted to point out my favorite online store to get beautiful rayon prints from fabric makers like Atelier Brunette, Eglantine et Zoe, Cousette, and Lise Tailor. These stores include Hart's Fabric, Stonemountain & Daughter, Style Maker Fabrics, Frankie Rose, Jones & Vandermeer, and Beyond the Pink Door (UK).
Is your favorite fabric store not listed? Let me know and I will check them out.
