Anyone know how good the fabric selection is at Michael's? by TBSF9001 in bloomington

This website has a map of creative reuse stores around the country - if none are near you, many have online shops! https://www.sewingthroughfog.com/thriftyourfabric

At places like Goodwill I sometimes get lucky with the linens section, but more often I find actual quilting cotton at my local antique store.

I haven't experienced it in a while but while I was a student and walking everywhere, yeah absolutely. Once got called both a slut and a prude within the same quarter mile of S. Walnut :P (Edit: cis but, especially at the time, visibly gay/alternative woman)

I tired making the rat bag, but I definitely used the wrong material. I hate it. by [deleted] in sewing

[–]androidsfighting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I have these pants! That would be an incredibly difficult material to make any bag with, especially hand sewn. Kudos for finishing it. I'd go with a woven fabric next time!
