    Where do you tend to get your favorite fabrics?

    Denver Fabrics. Some Jo Ann's scores.
    Also thrifts that don't know a sari when they see one and price it like yardage.

    Yeah, I do tend to see some odd pricings at thrift stores for sarongs and wraps. I know a guy who works at one and he always calls me if he has some unusual item, since I live within walking distance...

    One time someone gave them a hookah.... keep in mind, this is the Disabled Veterans of America, so we were laughing about it and I told him he might as well put it out on display, as I didn't want it, and a guy finally bought it and still has it.

    JoAnn's is pretty good, I think, but I always seem to end up at Michael's alot more. I've just been re-gaining things I used to do lately and I ended up doing patchwork and decided to go longboarding again, one day.

    I'm rather new at sewing, but I've gotten a few odds n ends either at FabricLand or Walmart, whatever they're clearing out.
