Same here - The average price of a metre (39”) of 44/45” wide cotton fabric from a quilt shop is around £11/12, which is currently $17/19 – batiks are more expensive at about $22! The Amy Butler I’ve got my eye on for my daughter is $27! No surprise I use eBay US quite a lot to buy fabric, as there is wider choice and MUCH less expensive, even if I have to pay Customs.
