Best online site for interlock fabrics? Curvy patterns??  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone,
I am a very beginner sewer but am thinking about trying to make myself some tshirts and maybe some dresses for summer. I don't have a serger so I'ld prefer knits.
Any sites that sell good quality cotton or cotton/blend fabrics in a variety of colors? even better any specific fabric recommendations?? I just don't have time or patience to fabric shop with a toddler in tow.

I'm so tired of trying to find shirts that fit my curvy body since most ready to wear is made from 2 flat pieces of fabric and no darts or anything to provide shape. arghhh

Any sites with curvy patterns or ready to wear would be cool too. I'm not looking for large sizes really - I can probably wear a 12 or maybe larger in a pattern - just something with some darts or fitting options.

thanks!
Elizabeth

Recently discovered fabric.com and was very happy with my first order. They have free shipping on your first order (code:FIRST) or 12% until 4/20 (code:TWELVE). Here is there knit page:

I bought 10 yds of this:

And, it was very nice.

try ebay, too. search for something like "cotton knit fabric". i have gotton a couple of great things that i'd never find anywhere else that way. and that interlock at fabric.com is to die for! a while back they had a $1 per yard sale and i got 15 yards, wish i had gotton more now because i just want to roll around in it. lol

another thing you can try is scoping out the fabric coops in yahoo groups. you can get some good deals on stuff like organics and hemp. i've always wanted to make myself a hemp jersey t-shirt. you can find that for around $4 per yard. all of the ones i know of are diaper related, so you could just try searching yahoo groups for "diaper fabric" or similar, or do something broader.
