My Favorite Online Fabric Stores


Yesterday I got an email from a reader requesting some of my favorite online fabric sources. I thought I would share a few of them with you here on my blog!


Fabric.com is amazing. It's hard to navigate through so it helps to know the exact product name so you can type it in the search bar. They carry a good selection of Dwell Studio fabrics. They also carry Premier Prints fabrics at a lower price than Premier Prints carries them. The important thing to remember with Fabric.com is that a lot of their fabric is damaged slightly which is why they can get it for such a great deal. 



Most of the fabric carried at Premier Prints is less than $10 a yard. They have some great prints and I often recommend them to clients for curtains because curtains require a lot of yardage. 



L & S Fabrics have a really good selection. I like that they carry a lot of Duralee fabrics because they are sometimes hard to find online. 



I really love Calico Corners but I find that most of their fabrics are a little over-priced so you need to be careful. I always shop around first just to make sure I can't find it cheaper somewhere else. They also carry a lot of Duralee Fabrics and they just started carrying Dwell Studio. 



Spoonflower has really great graphic and geometric prints. And if you don't find what you are looking for you can always create it yourself! 


Jo-ann has always had a great selection of Robert Allen and Waverly Fabrics. They often have sales too so I wouldn't put an order in unless the fabric is on sale. 


These are all of my favorite online sources that anyone can shop at. There are also many amazing designer fabrics that are out there. These are sold to the trade only but you can get them through a designer. Just let me know if you're interested in any. 

I would love to hear your favorite online fabric sources!

  3. This is perfect, Kirsten, thank you! I've been checking Joann and Fabric.com but you also provided some new ones I've never explored. Carol @ The Design Pages also sent me a link to Tonic Fabric which I thought was a cool site with some different fabrics - I haven't gotten a lot of time to explore but I saw some fun fabrics just from a quick look: http://www.tonicliving.com/index.asp

  7. Please be careful when ordering through Fabric.com.
    I order quite a bit of yardage through them for some drapes. They didn't wrap it in plastic, just put the roll into a cardboard box. The box got wet and the fabric got stained. I had to send it the whole thing back.
    When the replacement got shipped to me, it was stained also. Needless to say, I don't think I will be using them in the future.

  13. I have just received a bunch of samples from fabric.com, for myself and clients, one of my favorite sites. I do frequent calico corners when the budgets allow and because I like their workmanship. Great post!

  21. hi Kirsten, Thanks for the list of fabric sources! I'm familiar with most of those sites, but i had no clue L&S, was close by in Atlanta.

  22. Great info. I just wanted to chime in and let you know we recently used Spoonflower to have custom fabric made (we used for table runners) that matched some paper goods we created. It was for a non-profit Operation Shower baby shower with Michelle Obama & Martha Stewart. You can see it here: http://celebrationsathomeblog.com/2011/06/vintage-toy-baby-shower-operation-shower.html

    THANKS!
