  • I purchased mainly from JoAnn fabrics which now comes out of Michaels (still researching that) but also get unique artisan printed fabrics from website called ‘Spoonflower’, Marden’s in Scarborough, Maine Z Fabrics in Portland Maine and any other fabric shop I come across in my travels. I also look for vintage clothing to repurpose the fabric into a purse or other accessory item.
