I live near LA fashion district and plan to visit Michael Levine soon; does your coupon code work online only? Also, do you recommend other smaller fabric shops in the LA fashion district?

During my visit I met one of your excited followers at the local Hancock Fabrics. She was so excited and had just came from the store where she brought a sewing machince. I helped her find two patterns and tools and gave her a quick brifing and she left the store ready to go! Keep inspiring! You are doing a wonderful job keeping the craft alive!!!!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595297306976390158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-1992173038840109822013-05-23T19:15:22.165-07:002013-05-23T19:15:22.165-07:00I've shopped at most of these except High End ...I've shopped at most of these except High End Fabrics - I will have to take a look! I think we must be fabric twins, because when the instant you posted the chevron print dress I went to Levine's site to buy it, and picked out the floral/stripe border print and the tencel denim as well, before you posted them!<br /><br />I know a lot of people shop at the large bargain fabric sites like fabric.com and FFC, but I find that the quality and service at those is very hit or miss. I think the fabric quality is better at the smaller places that buy up garment manufacturing overstock, plus the owners are passionate about fabric and know their stuff. Fabric Mart is my favorite and I also recommend Vogue Fabrics in Chicago. Both places offer swatch clubs which are great if you are just getting into online fabric shopping and need to feel the fabric before you order.Isidorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-33356651425018139312013-05-23T19:09:59.538-07:002013-05-23T19:09:59.538-07:00Thanks for sharing this.

A maxi dress or a something with a circle skirt might take up to 4 yards, but I rarely buy that much. 3 yards is the magic number for me if I just don't know what I'm going to make with it.Isidorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-34595650596678637262013-05-23T18:48:15.063-07:002013-05-23T18:48:15.063-07:00I usually cut a 14-16 and typically buy 3 yards wh...I usually cut a 14-16 and typically buy 3 yards when I'm not sure of what I'll use it for.

The one time I wasn't pleased I made the wrong fabric choice and easily returned it. They have free returns and free shipping over $35 and I always am over that amount. Plus there's usually a coupon code somewhere on the internet for an additional amount off your purchase price. But I will definitely try these others.Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212079522421320147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-64419784802093958562013-05-23T13:15:09.741-07:002013-05-23T13:15:09.741-07:00thanks mimi, I have found some great deals on qual...thanks mimi, I have found some great deals on quality fabric. keep on inspiring us all.dorothy scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639604222914828060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-34821918540907474432013-05-23T12:26:18.516-07:002013-05-23T12:26:18.516-07:00Thanks for posting this Mimi.I would love to have ...Thanks for posting this Mimi.I would love to have a wider selection of fabrics to choose from.

I'...FINALLY OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!!!<br />I'm not fortunate to live in a state that has a fashion district so this definately helps. I can easily say that you inspire each of us with your posts that we literally go out and buy it. Case in point, that border print. It sold out TWICE!! These sites will give us (me especially) an opportunity to explore an array of fabrics that one can only dream of working with. With that being said, I thank you Mimi from the top of my threads, to the tips of my needles!!!
