It's always fun when you discover or rediscover a resource for well-priced fabrics outside of the design trade showrooms. I always wrote off JoAnn Fabrics and Calico Corners as outdated, but as this post over at the Material Girls blog shows, CC actually has quite a line of updated selections.
I also visited Fishman's fabrics (not a relative of mine) recently here in Chicago. They have a remarkable selection of remnants in addition to their standard selection which is already pretty wide and well-priced. Anyway, they have remnants of beautiful mohair velvets that normally go for $200/yard, now priced for like $10-15/yard. Can you believe that??? The downside is that they are mostly only a few yards - but if you're just making pillows or upholstering a chair, that could be fine.
