Hearing all your sad tales of your local fabric stores closing
Interesting that you should say U.S.-based fabric stores in your subject
line. About half of the fabric stores I patronize these days, while they
are located in the US, are run by recent immigrants to the U.S. who still
have fabric connections back in their countries of origin. Some are from
India, and I can get sarees or other India fabrics (like cotton) from these
people. Some are from places like Viet Nam, and I can get some really
interesting oriental fabrics (like silk) from those people. So yes, these
shops are U.S. based, but they mostly cater to a foreign-born clientele
that still sews a lot, and they seem to be in no danger of closing. I love
living in the U.S.
