I'll be honest with you, I've had a rough time finding interesting and unique patterned fabrics in local shops here in Las Vegas. We lack so many things & seem to be behind in design trends. So I find myself shopping online when I want stylish & colorful fabrics or going to shops like Michaels or JoAnnes to buy inexpensive pieces. Does anyone else have a hard time finding great fabric in their town?? Below are some cushions and fabrics I found on Flickr as well as Etsy that i really like!
The photos below are from a craft book from the 1970's - LOVE this cover and wanted to share it with you.
Oooh nice post!! I find great fabrics on Ebay. They are there if you keep going back.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I actually was really surprised at the selection of fabrics JoAnn's carried at a store near me. Michael's, on the other hand, was a big disappointment.
ReplyDeletelove, love, love your choices! Have you tried purlsoho.com, my favorite fabric site!
ReplyDeleteAh, I love those pillows... marvelous colors an patterns... Best regards Hege from Norway:)
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. French....I haven't seen that site, but will check it out first chance I get, thanks a BUNCH!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hege....!!
ReplyDeleteAnna, I also found a few fabrics on EBAY, and yes you have to go back and keep looking for good ones. Eventually they pop up. I was surprised to find they had some great varieties.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you jennifer, Michael's isn't the best in that dept. thats for sure!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that striped chair
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous fabrics! I've also heard that Etsy is a good place to find fabrics. Have you checked out http://www.reprodepot.com ? Maybe the next time you come to NY you can go down to the Fashion District and pick up some scraps. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteI had heard about that link before, but someone kept saying repodepot.com and I never found fabrics there! ha! However, thanks to you I FINALLY found the site...wow~ LOVE IT~
Wew never have any good fabrics here either :(
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll have to do some online fabric shopping sometime soon too!
Tizz...if you find anything please let me know. I like to have many OPTIONS. thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time finding unique bold fabrics in my town too. Thanks for sharing some of your resources!

Quilt stores sometimes have a great selection of different prints (MUCH better than JoAnn or Michaels). That's what purlsoho and reprodepot are. I'd also try googling a fabric line you like and see what other quilt stores you can find online. You also probably have a few in Las Vegas that are worth checking out. They have such nicer fabric and so much better designs. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteps - very cool pillows!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and all of the fabrics! WOW!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with striped chairs!!!! This one is even hotter than the last one your posted!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if sitting in them will make our butt look wider???

No, I used to have trouble finding fabric here in Utica, NY but, they're are many antique shops that carry so much of the vintage fabrics that at the end you are overwhelmed and don't know what to get because they are great
