Where can I get natural fabrics by mail order?
Sewing Sampler Productions
PO Box 39,
Springfield, MN 56087
(800) 772-5011 or (507) 723-5011
Retail and mail order. $3.50 UPS shipping charge (USA) per order.
Regular line of Cotton Club interlock and French Terry (100% Cotton) with
matching ribbing. Excellent quality; seems to equal Hanna quality. Interlock
and French Terry are $9 yd (1992); supplex is 5.50/yd. They carry Oshkosh and
Healthtex fabrics as well as notions like snaps, collars and woven patches.
Three catalogs (basics, fashion fabrics, kids). Two swatching services for $10
each. Several newsletters also. Please mention me (Grace Sylvan, Lewiston
Drive, San Jose, CA) if you decide to subscribe to the swatching service (and
I get a small credit, thanks to you, and you get wonderful swatches delivered
to your door).
Sew Natural Fabrics by Mail
4650 Bishop Road,
Mechanicsville MD 20659
(800) 368-0126 or (301) 373-3067
$3.50 UPS shipping charge (USA) per order.
A home business that seems to be expanding into imported cotton laces and
pearl buttons and other fancies. (send an SASE for lace and button info).
Interlocks, French Terry; several weights, close in quality to Sewing Sampler,
but fewer colors, and lower cost. Material $5.50 a yard; interlocks generally
$5-$7 a yard (1992). Some matching ribbings (or use the interlock instead).
Good selection of wovens - chambray, denim, flannel, shirtings, etc. Petit
Bateau striped rib knit, for 3.24/yd (May 92). The Petit Bateau rib seems to
wash and wear extremely well, comparable to Hannas. Ultrex, a breathable,
waterproof microcoated supplex, good for rain/snow gear and diaper covers.
Notions include elastic, the _Easy Sewing_ book series, Stretch & Sew and Kwik
Sew patterns. Swatch sets: $1 each for knits, knit stripes, or wovens/linens.
Jennifer's Fabric by Mail
53 Yorkshire Rd,
Lexington, Ohio 44904
(419) 884-3328
$3.50 UPS shipping charge (USA) per order.
A home run business, pretty new (1992). Unique catalog: a) lists which
fabrics will coordinate, and b) lists how stretchy the fabric is.
Interlocks usually $6.50-$8/yd range, a few for $3-$4/yd; matching ribbing for
most. Some fabric that was used Soupcon outfits from last year. Some striped
interlocks, Kwik Sew patterns, some sewing books, and no notions (so far).
Complete swatch sets are $3.50, free with an order.
