[MR] favorite online fabric suppliers?

[. .]

Fabric.com is one of my favorites.  I just recently bought silk 
taffeta from them for just over $6 a yard.   Sign up for their coupons 
and other deals.



Another favorite is fabricguru.com.  They use to be an ebay seller 
before ebay's rules changed and a lot of people left.   It's mostly 
interior decorating fabric but you can get some very decent drapery 
silks to make outfits out of as well as fabric for your tent.   



Of course, ebay and etsy.  Ebay has changed a great deal and you don't 
necessarily find the deals you did two years ago but they are still 
there.  The norse gown I made for an A&S display this weekend was 
out of Ebay bought linen.  Including shipping, the cost to make the 
dress itself was a little over $15 and it's all good quality linen.  For
 etsy, make sure you search supplies rather than homemade.   



Many years ago, denverfabrics.com use to be the place to go online for 
fabric but they got bought out by fashionfabricclub and it's no where 
near the same.   You can still get some good deals and their fabric 
isn't bad but I much prefer fabric.com.  



I've also bought from http://www.fabricsandbuttons.com/, 
http://www.abrahamslady.com/, and http://www.homesew.com/.  Fabrics and 
buttons has some unique fabric and they do have good customer service.  
Abraham's Lady is a brick and mortar store at Gettysburg -they do very 
much cater to the Civil War community- and they have some great notions 
that can be used for SCA purposes.  I love the sewing kit I got from 
them.   Home Sew is another notions store that sometimes has some great 
trims, buttons, and other things of that nature.



With the brick and mortar stores, sign up online for their coupons.  
I've gotten a lot of 50% off coupons for Joanns via email.

 Shopping the brick and mortar stores are getting me so frustrated with 
prices (I'm sure rent costs are getting higher) that I thought I'd ask a
 question here - what are your favorite online fabric suppliers?
