They aren't as stiff as most quilting cottons, but they still don't have that lovely drape of voile or a nice apparel cotton. I plan on using them for patterns where the drape won't play much of a factor, like Simplicity 2591. <br /><br />Also, can I just say how jealous I am of your move to NYC? This summer, it seemed like I was in NYC every other weekend for some publishing function or another and the best part was all the fabric shopping I was able to do! Have you tried Paron Fabrics yet? While I love Mood, of course, Paron just a few blocks over has become my favorite. They have a discount annex, which is small, but packed with amazing designer fabrics. I bought some Dior silk/linen mix for something ridiculous like $6/yard. They're also so willing to come down on fabric prices, most of the time without you even asking! It's a sewist's dream store.Mary Danielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375674341038153250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337174006238935251.post-2197547781818861842012-01-21T04:37:43.565-06:002012-01-21T04:37:43.565-06:00Ooh, what lovely fabrics!

Your fabrics a...Congratulations on being featured! <br />Your fabrics are all so inspiring. What do you think of the Dear STELLA line for apparel? I've been itching to order some ever since I first came across it, but I do not want a dress with quilting cotton-like drape (or lack thereof). <br />I moved to NYC recently, so of course I know there are a ton of great fabric shops to discover, I just haven't had much success yet!Mikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064870915807391241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337174006238935251.post-9318146633254430592012-01-20T21:53:09.611-06:002012-01-20T21:53:09.611-06:00Stacie, that is so sad to hear!

What is it about TX that we can't support apparel fabric stores? We have so many darned quilt ones, after all! ;)<br /><br />Also, call me Machiavellian, but...you should come down on a UT game weekend. There are plenty of basketball games coming up...and that three hours is the perfect amount of time for you to get in some great fabric shopping.Mary Danielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375674341038153250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337174006238935251.post-15224019425077901052012-01-20T21:50:58.594-06:002012-01-20T21:50:58.594-06:00Thanks so much, Sarah!

There are quite a few UK dealers who ship internationally and sell end-of-roll Liberty cuts. They're still not super cheap, but $18/yard definitely beats the usual prices!Mary Danielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375674341038153250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337174006238935251.post-74782103771425721512012-01-20T21:10:13.696-06:002012-01-20T21:10:13.696-06:00Houston is so fabric-lame by comparison.

Incidentally, to get to The Button Lady's room, turn left as you come in and it's straight down that aisle on the left. She also has a ton of lace, which she picked up from a lace museum that was getting rid of some of their stock. It's amazing!
