1" Grommets by Mignon
Hello! I have made great drapes and purchased a really nice rod; then it occurred to me that I need to have 1" grommets. I've checked all of our local fabric stores and can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know a source for 1" grommets, along with the appropriate sized punch? Thanks! -- Mignon

looking for COTTON sweatshirt fleece by S
I know there is such a thing as 100% cotton sweatshirt fleece, but I certainly can't find it for sale anywhere. I've poked around a fair bit online and have had no luck so far. I'm in the US, in Phoenix, AZ. I don't in the least mind mail-order, if it's what I'm looking for. Any ideas? Sue

Fashion Fabrics Club by bheider
I just ordered some red corduroy fabric from the Fashion Fabrics Club. Probably should have asked this questions first. Does anyone have any experience with this vendor and, if so, what do you think of the quality of the fabric? Thank you. Barbara
