Where to Buy Modern Fabric

796 shares

I didn’t know how to title this post. I felt awkward using the words ‘hip’ or ‘fun’ so I went with modern fabric. So there’s that.

I should probably confess that I’m kind of a fabric hoarder. When I see a fabric I absolutely love I have to have it (within reason, of course– I typically won’t pay more than $10 per yard because I’m a cheapskate). Now if I could only up my sewing game.

Anyway, I get asked quite often where I find fabric, specifically the cotton fabric my mom and I use for DIY burp cloths. The questions usually start rolling in once people see this drawer from my nursery dresser organization post.

So today I’m sharing where I buy most of my fabric.

If you’re interested in a specific fabric you see in this post, head over to my Fabric Swatch Pinterest board, where I’ve pinned all the fabrics. The pins will take you to the appropriate sites. Plus, I have additional fabrics pinned on the board.

OnlineFabricStore is one website I purchase fabric from. It’s where I got the fabric for Owen’s nursery blackout curtains and some of the fabric for his burp cloths.

I’ve been using Fabric.com for years. Last year I bought a ton of fabric for burp cloths in preparation for Owen’s arrival. They have sales and coupon codes every once in a while so sign up for their emails.

I recently purchased some fabric from Fabric Worm. They have a really awesome selection of modern prints. Seriously, I could spend hours browsing on that site.

JoAnn Fabric is another place where I buy fabric. I typically have to dig in the store to find something that I love but sometimes I luck out and find a few prints to add to my collection. They also sell fabric on their website, and they run deals on their shipping prices. You also can’t beat the prices when they have sales and their coupons. I’m sure the cashiers at the store despise me because I’m always whipping out endless coupons.

There are other sites out there, like Spoonflower and Minted, that sell modern fabric but they’re a bit pricier ($15+ per yard).

Happy fabric shopping and hoarding!

    I just saved all of those sites (minus Jo-Ann). Thanks for sharing! I’m always wondering where people get their cute fabrics. Jo-Ann is ok, but most of the time, I can’t find what I’m after.

      I agree. JoAnn is hit or miss with me a lot, too.

    Thank you so much for this post! I just purchased a sewing machine last month and I’ve been dying to try out some projects but haven’t been able to find any fabric that I’d be willing to wear. I was a little hesitate to purchase online because I like to feel it, have you had any issues with something not being what you thought it would be?

    Have you ever been to Crimson Tate in downtown Indy? It is THE BEST! The owners are the friendliest, most helpful people ever, and their store is stocked with the most amazing fabric selection. I’ve taken two quilting classes there and have had a blast. You have to check it out if you haven’t been by!

    How much of a fabric do you typically buy if you don’t have a specific project in mind?

    Thanks – I think. I’m a quilter and I really need another place to drool over pretty fabric. But it is hours of entertainment when I can’t break out the sewing machine.

    I would also recommend adding Hawthorne Threads to the list! Great site, tons of modern fabric, reasonable prices and quick shipping.

    I’m always looking for fun, modern knits for baby/toddler leggings (arrows, fox or other cute animals, stripes); Any suggestions?

      Fabric Worm and Fabric.com have some knits– just search “knit”. I asked a blogger friend who sews a lot of leggings for her baby. She likes JoAnn, girlcharlee.com, and liveartgalleryfabrics.com.

    I love Fabric.com! they seem to have great prices. I can never find anything I love at JoAnn Fabrics. It is so annoying actually. I love all of their other stuff and I am always ready with my coupons but finding a fabric I like, has never happened. Unless you count burlap and even then, it is so much cheaper online. I live in L.A. county but about an 1 1/2 from the fashion district. The fabric district is the BOMB! but it is so far from me and to take my kids, it’s pretty much a mission. However, when I make a shopping trip to the fabric district, I come home with tons of fabric and enthusiasm. Making things is another story. Kudos for making things. I’ve yet to use my new cutting mat I got for mother’s day last year.

    I like Michael Levine’s out in LA. I have been to the store in the fabric district half a dozen times and was thrilled to find the website.

    I also use Ebay…

    I am looking for cotton bastiste/cotton voile (esp need light skintone for facings, linings, etc.) and other sheer 100% cotton or cotton blends….in solids or “adult” type prints. I also am constantly looking for cotton knits/jersey knits….lightweight ones whenever possible and again in solids or adult prints. This for me is for ballroom dancing (lots of movement and sweating).. I like polyester chiffons and georgettes in solids and prints for the skirts. I, too, rarely spend more than $10 a yard (usually more like $6 a yard). I have soooo many nice fabrics I love…but have trouble with finding jacquard, burnout, embroidered, etc. ltwt fabrics…

    Have you ever checked out weaveup.com? It’s a really unique option for color customizable fabrics. And I don’t mean 10 or so different colorways, imagine unlimited color combinations!
