Ikea has some really nice stuff, and great for bags, and home dec. One warning though, they only sell in one yard cuts. I found a piece I really wanted for a bag for my daughter, and there was about 5/8ths of a yard. The gal in the dept called her manager and told the her it was fine, since it was the end of the bolt. But when I took it down to checkout, the manager there said no way. I could buy it, but I had to pay for a full yard. Which is silly of course. I asked her what they would do with it. She said probably make it into scraps, whatever that meant. And she refused to call up to the manager that said it was fine. I still love Ikea, but I will certainly be more careful about falling in love with a short piece.
