YES-either leave by 3:00pm or plan to stay after 7:00PM, LA downtown traffic is horrible at rush hour, even on Sunday.
Anyone know of quilting fabric in fashion district?
I have been several times and have been unsuccessful finding 100% cotton fabrics for quilting. I did find, however, a store with a large selection of African fabrics with decent prices that I used for a quilt.
I believe the garment district is for sewing garments....anyone else have any luck finding cotton fabrics??
I don't particularly feel safe in those neighborhoods, just FYI.
Agree with Tesspug, Mel's and Jenny's (Magnolia and Warner) have GREAT deals. I was just there today. They have $2.79 fabrics in the back of the store. (Flatfolds). When they take fabric off the bolt, they fold it and set in in the back. I have been lucky to been there just after they sent a lot of fabric to the back....lots of Moda and other great fabrics. Much better deal than driving into Los Angeles!
