The large chain stores have variety, but not always the knowledge to help us be crative and professional. That is what the small fabric stores are all about! Also, they are what keep us creative and enjoying our art or craft. As a seamstress and sewing instructor, it is important to know our local fabric store owners. I live in a small town that only has a Wal Mart as the major department store. Though I enjoy going there for some "deals", I support my local stores for almost 90% and Wal Mart 10%. I wish I could find Oliver + S patterns locally gto support a local store, and I have mentioned your product. Until then, I will have to buy on line.<br />Thanks for the great patterns and great newsletter!! It is very important to support our local businesses.

We have a small independant store near us where I purchase a lot of fabric and hopefully they will be expanding their selection soon. When I can't find what I need there I generally take a trip to Etsy. What a great idea.

Check back with them to search for independent shops in your area.<br /><br />Additionally, there are many good independent shops on the Internet--many of which carry Oliver + S patterns and other high quality products. Search them out. You may be surprised at what you can find. Project 95 has plans to release an interactive shop finder feature on its site: http://www.fabricshoppersunite.com.

If there is an independent shop around me I'm not aware of it. I wonder how I would find out??? I love supporting "mom and pop" shops!
