finding great fabrics

i am a big fan of unique fabrics. i love using them as wall art and have been collecting scraps since i was a child.

a friend recently told me that she was interested in buying a new ottoman and i suggested making it herself, or finding an old one and re-upholstering it. . her big question was "where could i find cool fabirc?", well look no further than the etsy shop of fabric supplies.

i found some great fabric on the site. here are some of my faves and they are around $7.50 a yard:


from the bright pops of colors to these more muted tones.

another great place for cheap fabrics is ikea. here are some of their much publicized fabrics. this fabric is $7.99 a yard. you can buy them here.
