Hi every body hope you'll had a wonderful holidays, i have a question and i really hope that i don't affend anyone' does any one know a website where i can find african fabric, books to buy and free african patterns i will appreciate a respond. lol. Annette [email protected] |
you question won't offend anybody. :P
i wish i could remember the name but i ran across at least one shop that stressed their african fabrics while i was doing the fabric shop hop. they have another hop starting 1 Jan. you could play in the hop and find your shop at the same time. http://www.fabshophop.com/ also, if you google the phrase "african quilting fabric" a nice long list of sources comes up. this one looks particularly interesting and useful: http://www.quiltethnic.com/fabrics.html good luck! :P |
www.africaimports.com
http://www.fabricattic.com/oriental,_african,_ethnic.htm |
I thought I had bookmarked the site, but must've lost it in switching computers. Several projects help African women bootstrap weaving businesses and then buy the fabric through co-ops. If it is in my bookmarks from another name, I'll post it. Wish I could remember the name.
