Where do you source your fabrics for any project? Hi everyone! First time posting on here, so I hope this is allowed! I wondered if anyone had any suggestions on where to source fabrics online, and if anyone had any experience with the websites? I'm looking for any fabrics from dressmaking to furnishing fabrics, so any suggestions would be amazing. I'm also really curious about what the community thinks about SwatchOn? Before they introduced their $500 'entrance fee' for those who don't have a purchasable Ready-To-Wear collection, I was considering buying fabrics from them as they have a massive selection. But now that fee has put me off. Is it normal for sites to have an entrance fee for non-trade like that? I understand only wanting to sell to trade and established designers, but that seems extortionate. I look forward to seeing your suggestions and thoughts! Thank you!

I've had really good luck with fabric from Etsy. Most of my stuff comes from Joann, but when I wanted orange minky, none of my local craft stores had it, online or in person. So I went on Etsy, CoffeeKidsNDolls has tons of colors and the price was great. If you need small amount of fabric (less than a yard) I think Etsy is a good option. Other online shops have a 1 yard minimum which I hate when making small things. [Fabrics.com](https://Fabrics.com) is where I get larger amounts of fabric I can't find locally. Haven't had any problems with them either.

I normally like to thrift for my fabrics but pandemic and all has led me to shopping online more. I have used mood, metrotextilesnyc, fabric.com and joanns. Mood has a good variety but is so expensive for what they offer. They have great deals on muslin though. Fabric.com has a gigantic variety and is cheap but they are owned by amazon and I worry about who is being exploited to make those cheap fabrics. I try to buy only from brands I know. Metro textiles I go to for wools and linens because they have such great sales, but have a lot on shipping. Then joanns is if I need it now because you can do curbside pickup. I have also heard really good things about Renaissance fabrics and Burnley and Trobridge but have not personally shopped there.

Fashion fabrics club / Denver fabrics (same shop different websites) is the only one I use that hasn’t been mentioned already. They’ve got some good rolling sales, it’s best to get on their emailing list or check in frequently. But out of all of the stores everyone mentioned fabric mart fabrics is my absolute favorite. I’ve not been disappointed once by them and I have made four substantial (40 yards or more) orders from them since April.

Spoonflower is a fabric printing company. They are a bit more expensive compared to other places but you have SO many options from designer uploaded designs and can select those or design your own to print as well on various fabrics.

Where to buy thick cotton jersey or thick cotton lycra? Hi, All the fabric shops have very thin cottons now days. I want some high quality thick supima cotton jersey for nightwear. I'd also really like some thick cotton lycra. Does anyone know where to buy these?

Etsy, Alibaba, fabrics.com

I agree that many knits are incredibly light. I used to regularly buy Kaufman Laguna Knit Cotton, which works for leggings and t-shirts but is considered lightweight at 5.4 oz/yd^2. [STOF France](https://www.fabric.com/buy/0681230/stof-france-stretch-jersey-knit-gasby-marine) has cotton Lycra blends that are 6.5 oz/yd^2, maybe that would be a better weight for you? Anything heavier than that appears to be either sweatshirt or terry knit, or for some sort of specialty use. Btw, I like fabric.com as a resource but I often take my findings elsewhere to actually purchase fabric. Edit: apparently I have NO idea how fabric weight is determined because these are all either 10 or 12 oz weight, but they don’t look very heavy compared to the Kaufman Laguna? https://surgefabricshop.com/collections/cotton-lycra-jersey
