Reader Cheryl Reeves asked in a comment a few posts back about where my "haunts" are located. She lives in the metroplex, so, Cheryl, this is for you.
There are several places on Perth Street in Dallas. Perth Street is a short street off Harry Hines Blvd. You would turn right or left depending which way you were travelling on Harry Hines onto Perth Street. My two favorites on that short street (Perth) are Super Textiles and C&C Fabrics. They seem to have more of what I'm interested in buying. "Best Fabrics" is on the corner of Harry Hines and Perth, and if you are looking for formal wear fabric, you will find some here.
Most of the warehouses on Perth are not air conditioned so keep that in mind if you go during the hot months of the year. I always try to be there first thing in the morning so I don't melt. I believe stores hours for most of them are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Also, on Harry Hines is Golden D'Or Fabrics (sorry I don't have the street address, but I'm sure you can google it). They have a wide variety of fabrics and notions.
Then, there is Pursley's Discount Fabrics on North Main Street in Duncanville. It's a short distance off of I-20 when you take the North Main exit off I-20. It is near the Ben Franklin store. Again, I'm sure you can google and get exact address. They carry fabric, more buttons than I have EVER seen before, lace, zippers, etc.
If you manage a trip to any of these places, drop me a comment and let me know how you liked them!
A couple of other places to go in Dallas: Kay's Fabrics on Arapaho close to Coit and Fabrique on the Turnpike close to Custer Road. I live close to Fabrique and love to go in and admire their fabulous fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Linda. I have heard of some of these stores but have never been. I can't wait to check them out.

Hi Linda,Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. I know what you mean about not feeling like sewing for fall. The only reason I did was because we are expected to do displays when we work at Fabricville. It's boiling hot here too and I 'm still wanting to make a couple of summer items.Hope your mojo returns to you soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the compliment on my post on Sew Retro.
