Hello there, ladies and gents. Almost a month ago I ordered 4 different swatches of boucle for my Chanel inspired jacket. Originally my plan was to narrow down those 4 choices to 1 and go from there. Well, I’ve actually narrowed things down to 2 because I love them too much to narrow it down further. So, without further adieu, here are the chosen ones:
Lovely, aren’t they? I’ve ordered these swatches from Fashion Fabrics Club. Now I warn you, if you’re in a great hurry to get your fabrics delivered, you may have to pay a mint in shipping costs. Shipping within the US is $6.95 for regular shipping. If you want it expedited it can go up to $13, so beware. If you do go for regular shipping, it can take almost a month for your fabric to get to you. I ordered my swatches first and now I have to order my fabric. So that’s almost 2 months that you have to wait to start your project. If you are willing to wait, they have a lovely selection, prices for the fabrics themselves are reasonable, and sometimes you can score designer fabric for a steal. Some fabrics will have a swatch option that you can click on, otherwise, you can order the minimal amount (for most fabrics, minimal cut is 1/8 of a yard but for others expect to buy a full yard). There is a maximum of 4 swatches per order. This is the first time I’ve ever bought fabric online and I’m pretty pleased. Compared to $20 a yard for boucle at my local Joann’s, 5-6 dollars a yard is quite a steal.
Happy crafting!
-Love, Janneth
