Where to buy tshirt/hoodie fabrics?

Question

I have checked every fabric store I've seen but the fabrics end up to be quilting fabrics or curtain/ felt/other materials. And I check websites but I can't feel the fabric so I don't know if that's what I want.
Any tips?
And any tips about what to look for? I think most of my clothes that I like the texture of are cotton/polyester/blends, I think,?

Thanks =)

Answer 1

Maybe you're not saying what you need properly.
t-shirts = jersey
hoodies = fleece
Check places like Wal-Mart too. Make sure the fabric is pre-shrunk or "sized". Just to make sure, buy in extra quantities. Wash and dry normal BEFORE you cut in patterns and sew.

Answer 2

I find fabric like that at large fabric stores. Outside of Boston (where I used to live), I went to The Fabric Place. In Springfield, MO, I go to Hancock Fabrics. There are many places on line (including Hancock Fabrics) where you could find it and order it, if you didn't need to see it in person. There is a website that has a list of 203 fabric stores. The lady who has the site is a quilter and lover of fabrics, not a retailer, but she sure has a lot of sites to search!!! The website is:

Answer 3

Most fabric stores or Big Dept. stores like walmart with a fabric section will sell Fleece or Jersey.

You might want to check for JoAnne Fabric stores, possibly local to you.

seek for fabric shops on your community telephone e book. If there are mill-end shops that sell remnants, they are going to be listed there. Wal Mart in simple terms could no longer get the manufacturers to kowtow to their slave-hard artwork pricing calls for.
