I haven't been a good blogger lately but I'm hoping someone will point me to a good fabric store in San Diego. I'll be here for another week. Promise I'll post more regularly when I get back. I'll HAVE to if I purchase fabric lovlies. :)
The best places are actually the Spring Valley and National City Swap Meets on the weekends. You have to dig and it's an experience, but we're talking $1-3/yd!
Spirit of Cloth has closed :-( It was my favorite SD store. The main Yardage Town in National City is better than their smaller stores - but you have to dig. I think most of the fabric is meh.
As you can tell by the posts not much fashion fabric in San Diego. I could be wrong but have yet to find it. Not sure of how mobile you are and your schedule but you could check out the Fashion District in Los Angeles. I love to visit Michael Levine for fabric when in the area. There is also Mood which I have not gone to yet but may in the near future. I have not tried Gwen Couture in La Jolla but if you want to stay local might be a trip if in La Jolla area.
Hi, Dawn. Yardage Town is, in my opinion, the best--there are numerous locations, and they're on the Inet with those locations. Additionally, they used to sell Kwik Sew patterns for 40% off--don't know if they still do tho. Good luck.\
I saw this post just before heading to San Diego for the week. I stopped by Gwen Couture, and bought some absolutely fabulous knits. She has a small selection of really wonderful fabric, definitely worth the trip to La Jolla. Thanks!
