Fabric shopping Mecca

Does anyone have a fabric shopping icon??

Anyway, I was coming home from the other Joann's (my usual Joann's location was out of white taffeta, which I need for my 1875 petticoat) when I passed something that made my tires screech and my car lurch sharply right with no regard for pedestrians or other vehicles.

Jomar

Jomar 5 minutes from my house

If you don't know what Jomar is, it is a store that sells discontinued, dead stock, and overstock fabrics from manufacturers. They are on huge rolls and most are not labeled with fabric content. Turns out they had a rainbow of colors in bengaline and moire for...

$1/yd

*faint*

I got 6 yards of a gorgeous red bengaline (blue red as opposed to orange red. Yeah, I bought what was left on the roll), 2 yards of a pretty pink moire (for a parasol with black lace on top. Oh yes), 2 yards of a soft, drape-y black netting (so perfect for hats!!!), and 4 yards of petersham ribbon. This all cost $11.00 and change.



They have lots of black moire for $4/yd, and soon I'll go back for that as well as the $1/yd purple.
