Five fabric shops you NEED to know | Designer fabrics, Activewear, Swim, Wool, and MORE! 

This was super helpful. Please do another video with more shops you use.

Your shirt...omg I'm in love ❤️

Videos like these are such a gift. I live in an area without access to any kind of apparel or drapery fabric. Don't get me wrong, I like quilting cotton as much as the next person, but I don't want a wardrobe made of it. Thank you so much for sharing these gems! Bookmarked and checking them out this evening!

I love your videos. Full of well thought out advice and ideas, and your delivery is great to listen to. No waffling! I often go to Fabworks with my sister who lives nearby, although I live in London. I bought a lot of beautiful brushed cotton to make winter dresses. It’s a fantastic store. I make my own swimsuits and really struggle to find prints I like, so I may try the Etsy ones you mentioned, if I’m feeling flush. Shame they’re so far away.

Amazing tips, thank you! I did not know Rainbow fabrics yet even though they are only a few tube stops away from me and they look so great! Thanks for introducing me

THANK YOU for this video!!! I’m desperate for high quality fabric!! Plz do another video with more fabric stores/websites!!

Hot pink herringbone tweed! That coat is magnificent. I'm excited by those prices and a selection of CoLoRfUL wools

Just added the first three shops to my “fabric” bookmark on my laptop. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for doing the research for the rest of us-it's so nice to have a recommendation. I haven't heard of any of them but will definitely visit.

Love your blouse!

OMG the Stitch Fabrics! Yes!

Cries in Kentucky with only Joann's and their endless supply of fleece and flannel. I wish I didn't have the need to see, touch and feel the fabrics IRL before purchasing.

Dot from UK Hi Steph, well done for creating such a beautiful channel. I used to make all my own clothes but more into mixed media art now, I am 72 and have all the clothes I need, that doesn't mean to say I won't watch your videos in the future. I most certainly will. Well, the fabrics are a piece of art aren't they? Your blouse is exquisite, from the fabric to the style and it suits you. Look forward to seeing more of what you have to offer. Lots of love from the UK, Dot x, and good luck for future.

Oh I so needed this!!! I went ahead and subscribed! ❤

I have ordered twice from Mood Fabrics, and plan to consider seriously NY Designer Fabrics for very special projects.

Thank for sharing these shops, also you TOP IS INCREDIBLE!!!!

Oooh this was a cool lineup. Thank you!! Love the art prints. And wools. 💕

Just found your channel, YAY 😃Thank you for this, I am always trying to find nice fabric shops. Thank you again

Thanks for these new fabric recommendations! Because I need more fabric. 😉 I just got fabric from The Fabric Sales with loads of designer deadstock, and I'm trying a fabulous cotton lawn paint splatter print from the Draper's Daughter.

I am sew glad to find you!!! I can't wait to patronize these stores.🥰

I hope I can get that fabric you’re wearing. Gotta have it. You are a gem finding you, your channel. Your tip on hashtags too thx!

Such useful information --thanks! Would love to hear your other fabric store recommendations.

Thanks for sharing these gems with us :)

I just love that blouse you’re wearing! I can never find fabric like that! Thanks for all the information!

Love that pink coat!!!!

Oooohhhh I love the shirt you're wearing. It's phenomenal!!! And the skirt!!! Beautiful. Loving your channel and I have subscribed and cannot wait for more of your videos. Also, thank you for sharing these fabric shopping sources: I've not heard of them all before but will promptly check them out!! Now, back to binging on your channel : ).

I really appreciate the info.

I'm just starting out and am so glad I've found someone from the UK. Can't wait to see what else you do 😊

Love this video always looking for new places to get fabric! 😊

Thank you so much for the excellent information.

Wow! This is one of the best online fabric store reviews. Thank you! I looove Pucci prints and have been unable to find them. I would love to hear you review more stores. Happy sewing!

I have never heard of any of these. Thanks.

Thanks for athletic wear suggestion

Great video Steph. Stitch Fabrics are great - they exhibit/sell at Malvern Quilt Show and I go just to buy their dressmaking fabric. The father and son run the stall and when they saw me approach a few weeks ago they waved at me and were very chatty because they recognised the fabric I was wearing from a previous visit. Lovely family! You have certainly done your homework. Sue x

Thank you! So pleased you mentioned Fabworks they are my favourite and I am only 20mins away from their store which is also just as amazing and the staff are the best. I'm a regular and the shop manager Tara knows my entire life 😂

Thanks so much for your recommendations….

Wow, these are amazing! All five of these are new recommendations for me! Gah, trying so hard to not buy allllll the fabrics. HAHA

Would love a part 2 btw 😅

Just found your Chanel Thank you so much for this information

Adore that pink wool coat. Recently I came across a video that demonstrates an invisible mending technique that I would never have thought of in a hundred years. I assume, that like me, you keep your scraps. The video is titled "Invisible mending expensive vintage trousers (we saved them)" and it is put up by "Downtown Tailoring". Looks time consuming, but worth the trouble for that coat.

Love your shirt--would love to know which pattern (or self drafted?) and indeed amazing fabric choice & positioning! Appreciate the info on the sources--esp wools & dead stock.

I just found your Chanel , I’m just loving it. Iv been sewing for years and just about to dive into knit and swim wear fabrics, can you do a how to video on these please on what stitches you use and how the stitches hold up in wear tear.

Your channel is awesome ❤. Love your taste of fabric. What’s the pattern of your beautiful shirt with fabric from stitch fabrics? 😍

Thank you for this - I get a bit intimidated with fabric shopping so this is really useful (and I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes Fabworks). Do you have a preferred supplier for jersey (cotton lycra types)? I've yet to find one and it drives me mad to make something and then have it pill!

I’ve bought from Stitch Fabrics a few times and have always been more than happy with the fabric and overall shopping experience. Amongst the fabric I picked up a couple of years ago are several Lycra jerseys in stunning prints that turned out to be John Kaldor designs, they’re really interesting in terms of texture and were only £2 a metre and there’s some still there at that price! Some of their wool is lovely and I agree about the panel prints, they’re definitely where it’s at if you want to make a statement piece!

Hi Steph..I was feeling discouraged to keep sewing any garments due to lack of variety. I loooovvee the fabric for top your wearing. Do you know name of print? Looking forward to more vids!

Hi new subscriber from Canada here. I have been settling into retirement for the last year and I am slowly but surely getting ready to start sewing again. This was a great and useful video. I love to wear linen in the summer, and I am looking for a good source for affordable, quality linen. So far, the sources that I found had limited colour options and prices were quite high. Also, I found that information on fabric weight is not optimal, so you are never certain if the fabric will work for a specific project. Any recommendations? Also, your 70's style floral (the one with the daisies) at the end of your video just made my day. Not only did my grandma had similar bed sheets in her home back then, I actually thrifted some unused bedsheets with an almost identical print, which I made into a comforter cover for my daughter's bedroom when she was a toddler. So pretty!

Tip: spoonflower is horrible. Blurred printed spandex. Every fabric I received lost their pattern and looked ridiculous with all of the white coming through. My package also took a really long to arrive in America.

Stitch Fabrics is awesome. I would order from them more often if shipping to the US wasn’t so expensive.

I love your channel and I subscribed. I will look for you on Instagram. I am 72 and have just revived my sewing hobby. While I would prefer being able to visit a local fabric store for supplies, I don’t live close to any that carry nice quality or “different “ fabrics ( Dallas, TX). It has been exciting to be able to order fabrics from all over the world as well as the US though and it has been something I recently started doing. On another note, what pattern did you use for your blouse? I love it!

This is the 2nd time I've tried to watch your posts, and have been completely distracted by that background noise (music) and unable to watch til the end. I believe your broadcast would be better with that one adjustment.

Sorry posted to quick have real issue finding athletic fabric and swim so thanks maybe we could do a shared order sometime

Where would I find ribbed knit in navy fabric ? Help

I am forever jealous if people who live in the UK. I live in Belgium and fabric shops are not common. There are some but they don't really have a point of view and many sell the same brands of fabrics. BUT I did find two amazing places I order from regularly: Wasted fabrics (amazing deadstock) and The Fabric sales (designer fabrics from Essentiel Antwerp and Dries van Noten)

Oh wow brilliant video thank you. I'm in UK can I ask what import tax do you pay from Singapore? X

Ooooooo thank you i nearly turned you off because I assumed you would be talking about fabric stores in the USA. So glad I didn't.

Please reconsider the use of background music while you are speaking. I have ti fight it to understand❤

Obsessed with your shirt, but cannot find such fabric anywhere! Not even at the place you mention buying it from. Frustrating!
