A fantastic fabric store in the NW industrial area. When you walk in the door you are greeted with smiles from Annette. She is very friendly and a lot of help. They carry all kinds of high end knits: fleece, wickaway, suplex, lycra, hemp, bamboo. The store is having a gigantic warehouse sale July 18 to July 21, 2007, bolts of fabric $1 a yard, 10 yard minimum. I bought several bolts of formally very expensive wickaway fabric.

She stocks the store with the fabrics that she is passionate about. She is getting ready to launch an online store. Last time that I was in the store I bought a bamboo woven fabric printed in a tropical print and a linen blend embroidered fabric. I am going to make a Hawaiian type shirt and a cool skirt for summer.
