Where to buy tshirt/hoodie fabrics?
Question:I have checked every fabric store I've seen but the fabrics end up to be quilting fabrics or curtain/ felt/other materials. And I check websites but I can't feel the fabric so I don't know if that's what I want.
Any tips?
And any tips about what to look for? I think most of my clothes that I like the texture of are cotton/polyester/blends, I think,?
Thanks =)
Answers:
Maybe you're not saying what you need properly.
t-shirts = jersey
hoodies = fleece
Check places like Wal-Mart too. Make sure the fabric is pre-shrunk or "sized". Just to make sure, buy in extra quantities. Wash and dry normal BEFORE you cut in patterns and sew.
Most fabric stores or Big Dept. stores like walmart with a fabric section will sell Fleece or Jersey.
You might want to check for JoAnne Fabric stores, possibly local to you.

I find fabric like that at large fabric stores. Outside of Boston (where I used to live), I went to The Fabric Place. In Springfield, MO, I go to Hancock Fabrics. There are many places on line (including Hancock Fabrics) where you could find it and order it, if you didn't need to see it in person. There is a website that has a list of 203 fabric stores. The lady who has the site is a quilter and lover of fabrics, not a retailer, but she sure has a lot of sites to search! The website is:
