Resources to Buy Online
Fabric
Here is a list of some of the many
online fabric sights that I or someone in
my family
have used. Many of these offer a sample pack so you can feel and see what
the actual
fabric is like. Since we have limited sources for fabrics, especially knits I
think it is
worthwhile to check these out.
