Fabric Place Closing

Oh no, the rumors are true!

It makes sense given how sewing is less and less popular and how the economy is going. Oftentimes its much cheaper to buy a garment than make it (at least, with these kinds of prices compared to what you'd pay in the old Chinatown stores or in NYC).

No more knitter's breakfasts! No more super-discounted fabric lengths.

Damn.

I'm a bit sad about that, but to be honest I'm part of the problem--it's easier to order from fabric.com or distinctivefabrics.com or spandexhouse and know that I will not be wasting my time driving out somewhere only to discover that they don't have what I'm looking for, or have enough of it.

OTOH I do love browsing somewhere like Winmill Fabrics, where you never know what you will find.
