Just an update on shopping so far in these areas: I haven't been to the suggested Syracuse Feminine Touch Fabrics yet. I went to Rochester today - the general consensus is that there isn't much out there because the tailors still in business don't sell fabric unless you want something made.
I did try the following: Fabrics and Findings is now completely upholstery fabric. Very small, but nice store. Helpful fellow, tried to direct me to more "apparel" stuff....but really didn't have much more of a suggestion than Jo Ann's. I went to Jackie Lynn's Fabrics. Nice store with different stuff than what I see in Phoenix - quilting oriented, but they do have an apparel section. Good prices on stuff - except for stuff they are obviously getting from Black and Sons ....Very nice staff who directed me here: Fabric City - Mostly upholstery, but had a (very) small collection of wools and wool blends from an out of business tailor across the street. Very nice lady who obviously knew the history of fabric in the Rochester area. Sigh....not very many places anymore which have anything other than the average Jo Ann stuff.... These are all tiny stores just makin' it. Bless those who are still surviving. I hope to get to Syracuse for the Feminine Touch Fabrics tomorrow...but it depends on how my sister is feeling.. Taa for now...thanks for the leads!! Sg On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 4:48 AM, Wicked Frau <[email protected]> wrote: > Any of you shop in these areas?
