why is it so hard to find good fabrics for projects????
it is finally a good time of year for me to learn how to sew with a sewing machine, I know what I want to make for a first project (the batwing dress), but I cannot for the life of me find decent fabrics for it.
I don't want to order them online because I can't tell what textures and colors they really are from photos, but out of everything locally available, I maybe found like only one bolt of fabric that might work for the velvet-like red part of the dress. Nothing for the sheer layer that isn't covered in glitter or patterned, and I have no idea what to use for the striped top part. we literally only have one option in this area for where to get custom-cut fabric by the yard, because the only other place we would set foot in went bankrupt.
why is it so hard to get into doing craft tasks.
