Where do you get your fabric?

Where do you get your fabric from?

I normally get mine at spotlight but would like to start getting it online. Can anyone suggest some good places to find it? I don't want to spend too much either.

Is there anywhere from the US that is good? Seeing as the dollar is really good at the moment.

I usually get mine from Spotlight too. I haven't purchased any from OS but over here there are sites like Duckcloth, Kelani Fabric that has gorgeous fabrics!

I try and get most of mine at Spotlight, even if it is an hour away!

There is a business called The OzMaterialgirls (on FB and just a general website) which has a great range of fabric. I've bought some off them before. They have a spinoff FB page calle TOMG's $1 Auctions which lists all their sales (auctions and buy it now sales). I've found that they sell most of their fabrics by the yard/half yard, and when you compare it to buying by the metre (from Spotlight) it can get fairly exxy depending on how much fabric you actually need.

ETA: a couple of others are Funky Fabrix and Bubbamia fabrics, both have FB pages.

Caution with Ozmaterialgirls - I have had stuff go "missing" in the post, and they pretty much don't want to know.

I get a lot of stuff at reverse garbage (brissy) and local op shops, and just keep an eye out. My friends know and they give me stuff that they find. I like it that way; it forces me to be really creative, because I'm at the point where buying a pattern and choosing some fabric just isn't challenging enough anymore.

I have my favourite stores, and with the exchange rate atm it is insanely cheap in comparrison to Aus Stores who stock the same designer fabrics, I pay $7-$8 a yard plus $13.45 psotage for 6-7 yards and it is here within 4-5 days

for stuff for DD I love fatquartershop. The only downside is that postage is per $60 spend - so if you only want one thing it is a bit exxie - but I just use it as an excuse to stock up

They have a great range of novelty prints - I am currently deciding how much Dr Suess and Spot the dog clothing one kid needs

[Laranna]

So far, I've bought from Spotlight and bubbamia fabrics (Facebook). Have been browsing Etsy but DH is encouaging me to use up my stash before buying any more I have a pile of quilt squares that I'm supposed to be turning into a quilt for DD.

sal i have a shop near me (so obviously not online) but come up one day and i'll meet you there (drag sam along too), its a quilters shop, great stuff

I tend to recycle old fabrics, and I design my own and buy some on spoonflower (you upload your own designs, or buy other designers) it isn't cheap but I don't make whole items from it just use bits and pieces as embellishments. I am interested to see what people do for their next contest which is to design, cut & sew pattern for a Christmas stocking. Some people design on spoonflower and then sell the fabric on etsy.
