JoAnn is great because it has all the embellishments and notions that you need - but there's nothing like a small independent fabric shop that tickles my fancy. At least this fabric shop that I recently found close by.
After looking for fabric stores around town, I finally found Feminine Touch Fabrics, a few minutes from downtown Syracuse. They have so many different types and fabric designs to choose from.
A part of buying fabric is feeling the fabric that you want to use. I really wanted to shy away from JoAnn's because I feel like a lot of what they have are too commercial and predictable. As much as I'd like to order fabric online, it's so hard to choose when you can't feel it. How do you know if it's thick enough? or soft enough? etc.
I feel like texture and design go hand in hand when choosing the right fabric for a project. I really need to have it in my hands to choose the right one.
Another thing you get from shopping at this shop is an actual friendly conversation with the staff. Also, you can ask them so many questions and they'll answer every single one of them without hurrying to the next customer.
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
