Mrs. Bricker is going to make some clothes for Bricker Jr. She’s got the sewing machine, the patterns, and the enthusiasm.

What she lacks is the fabric. We’ve looked at G Street Fabric and Jo-Ann’s, two stores here in the Northern Virginia area, and were surprised at how pricey some of the fabrics are.

Has anyone had any luck buying fabric online? Any recommendations?

I prefer to shop at vendors that work with [igive.com](http://igive.com), because they give a percentage of my purchace to my school.

So, I use [fabric.com](http://fabric.com). Never had any problems with them.
