.........but look what arrived in the mail for me yesterday!
Eeeeek - it's my fabric!! I had ordered about 40-50 yards of fabric awhile back and it is finally here. I will be using most of this yardage for items in my etsy shop. I do have several item for my shop ready to go, I just need to get some good sunshine to take my pictures so I can list them.
I have had a lot of friends ask me where I get my fabric. Well, I usually can find the best prices for fabric online. The only thing about ordering online is you usually have to wait for it and you don't get to touch and feel it. However, if you are familiar with a designer, then you usually will know what to expect. I love looking in fabric stores, so sometimes it is best to browse your local specialty fabric store to see what the fabric looks like in person. Many times the color of a fabric can vary online depending on your computer monitor color settings. So if you plan to order a lot - check it out in person first!
The majority of the fabric I ordered is the new "Nicey Jane" by Heather Bailey (I love the fresh, clean look), with a little "Love" by Amy Butler (Gorgeous!), and a few yards of Sandi Henderson. These designers are not found in your big-box fabric stores like Joann's or Hancock, so if you are looking for them in-person, best to check out the specialty stores.
Here are these three designers websites if you would like to check out their lines of fabric:
