Ordering fabric online I’m planning on making a shirt, but the local fabric stores have quite limited selections. Any recommendations for places to order quality fabrics online? I’m trying to get some wool. I don’t need anything super fancy, but I don’t want to get any cheap stuff, either.
Wooly-thoughts replied:
I would add [FabricMartFabrics.com](https://FabricMartFabrics.com) and [DenverFabrics.com](https://DenverFabrics.com). Unfortunately you may be out of luck with wool until the Fall. (At least, I've found this to be so).
Anyone have recommendations on where to buy reasonably-priced decorator fabrics or leather aside from Joann Fabrics? I am reupholstering an antique chair and looking for fabric or leather that won't break the bank.
Mallory asks: Where is a good fabric store for costume making it must have leather?
Can anyone help?
Denise O. replied:
Hi Mallory: Depends on the quality of leather you desire. Colorado Fabrics in Littleton may carry some leather, but I know they have faux leather. I have not seen leather in any of the other Colorado fabric stores. Online, you can get some very good leather at GorgeousFabrics.com, FabricMartFabrics.com, MoodFabrics.com, HartsFabric.com, NYFashionCenterFabrics.com, DenverFabrics.com and etc. the only thing is the hides available come and go regularly at these sites; so, one site might not always have leather hide inventory. I have also checked out, but never bought from, FashionLeather.com . I Hope this helps. Are you making costumes for an event? The Denver Chapter of ASG is thinking about starting a group especially for those sewing costumes. Would you be interested? Contact me at President.ASGDenver@aol.com

Real or synthetic? Colorado Fabrics has real leather and suede in both the garment and decorator fabric sections. Tandy has leather of all kinds. There are some on-line leather sources also.
