Florida - Not a Sewing Friendly State Among its other Problems

I  was born and raised in Florida, Orlando to be exact.  At 17 I left Orlando to join the U.S. Army and to serve my country and after 8 years of service I decided to get out of the military and move back home.  I was recently divorced and a single parent so I wanted to be close to my Mom and sisters. 



I often see my sewing sisters and friends with such beautiful fabric, from New York and California and even across the water.  Florida doesn't have these options, that I know of anyway.  We have Joanns, Hobby Lobby and a couple of Hancocks, and there is one specialty shop that I often visit and they do have a nice selection, but that is about it.  I just wish Florida had more places to purchase fabric, especially in Central Florida where I live. 
 
I do order fabric from:
 
  • Fabricmartfabrics.com
  • Fabric.com
  • Lowpricefabric.com (Michael Levine's Fabric)
  • Moodfabric.com
  • Denverfabrics.com
  • Fashionfabricsclub.com
 
I know there are many more places to buy fabric, so what online stores do you buy your fabric from? 
 
Happy sewing!
