Each time I revisit Jo Ann the fabric section grows smaller. Most often more expensive to sew an item than to merely buy it. Quilting, though, continues to be popular.

Like Diogenes Lamp, I also surf the thrift shops for used clothing. I repurpose the fabric. I am an artist and find very interesting fabric for my still life paintings.

I've noticed the same thing about the fabric section. Lots of stuff is gone that used to be there years ago. You can special order it, but that's more hassle.

My son likes to go to parties and events dressed up in "Steam Punk" style, and sometimes Western style, and he finds a lot of things he modifies to wear at thrift stores. It's a great source of material.

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you do with the fabrics? Are you using them like a canvas?
