Attention please: Garment makers
 
I'm looking for shops carrying summer weight fabric for dresses. I prefer a slight drape in rayon and cotton with a little stretch. Unfortunately *sigh* I have only JoAnns within a 100-mile radius.

I from northern lower Michigan. Brick-and-mortar and online shop suggestions appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Also, fabric suggestions also appreciated.

I don't buy any non-cottons any more so can't be too much of a help. When I search Amazon for fabric offerings, I have gotten several things from Fields, which is a small Michigan chain they have physical locations and I've been very happy ordering on-line too.

I think GreenFairies.com sells clothing fabric along with other types of fabric.

Just had to go check, it is actually Greenfairyquilts.com

This is nowhere near you but I read of this site on another board and did a quick scan yesterday. Some lovely garment fabrics here. https://farmhousefabrics.com/

Fabric.com has great selections.

Where at in Northern Michigan. My sister in in Traverse City. She may know some shops up there since she does more garment sewing than quilting and she is NOT a Joann fan.

fabric.com has many different types of fabrics, but they have great customer service. If you have a problem, they are there to help. Buying online can be a bit scary because we all depend on the feel of the fabric, but they are a reliable company.

Thanks for the link...what a selection. There's even a "for boys section."

Thanks for the tip about customer service. I am a touchy feely person when it comes to garment fabrics.

Thanks for the note. Which Fields do you find carries the best selection of garment fabrics?
