Agree. You used to be able to buy fabric at Walmart and some of the other discount stores but not anymore. The closest Hancock is over an hour away and now that’s gone, too. Fabric is something you just can’t buy online because you have to match colors and feel the texture. Fabric is too expensive anyway and then not be able to hold it in your hand before buying it. I’ve resorted to buying up anything and everything sewing and craft related at thrift stores and even that’s getting hard to come by and the prices are still high.
I checked Hancock’s site and only saw 20% off notions. Maybe give it a couple weeks and they’ll have better prices to off set s&h.
Some of the online sites will send you fabric samples. I have bought some fabric online. Prices can be better, too.
“I’ve resorted to buying...at thrift stores...”
I’m a guy who has been shopping for bargains at thrift stores for years. Last week I found a brand new pair of Duluth Trading bib overalls for $4.00. I’m all set for yard and garden season. Last year I bought a nice money belt for a couple of bucks and when I got home I found two $50 bills inside. I feel kinda sorry for the guy whose wife donated the belt. :^)
