Affiliate Disclosure: I am an Etsy and Aliexpress affiliate. Applicable purchases made through the links I provide may earn me a small commission at no cost to you. This helps keep my blog and youtube channel running! I appreciate your support.
It’s basically been 100 years since I’ve updated my Where to Buy Lingerie Making Supplies video and blog posts, and a lot has changed since then… mostly, the loss of Fabric.com. I’m still mad about that. Amazon totally ruined a great thing!
I’m sure I’m not the only one who spent a lot of time at the beginning of the pandemic doing lots of online shopping. During that time I discovered some new shops that have become go-to sources for me.
I’ve outlined it all in a video on YouTube, but I’ll provide a full list here with links. If I’ve missed your favourite online store (or in person shop!), let me know in the comments. I always love discovering new stores.
My Go-To Fabric Stores
USA
Stretch House – specializing in spandex fabrics.
Spandex World – another great source for spandex fabrics.
Mood Fabrics – Higher-end fabrics with a lot of designer deadstock.
Girl Charlee – well-priced knits!
Fashion Fabrics Club – a large assortment of fabrics, from woven to knits.
Spoonflower – the “original” USA based custom printer, with thousands of indie designer prints to choose from.
Carriage House Printery – a newer USA based custom printer. Print your own designs or choose from their large selection of designer prints. A great selection of bases, including bamboo!
Canada
The Fabric Snob – carries high quality knit fabrics (luxe jersey is my fav) and a selection of custom prints.
Blended Threads – Unique, pre-order fabric in an assortment of bases. See my Unboxing video here!
Halo Fabric Addicts – specializes in athletic/performance fabrics, and carries custom prints.
Fabric Fabric – Large Toronto-based fabric retailer. Carries everything from fashion fabric to home decor.
GK Fashion Fabric – Ontario based fabric store with some really great selection of knits and silks. I have not purchased from them yet, but they have been in my favourites for a while! I’m hoping to visit their location.
Threadcount – lots of cotton quilting prints, but also a large assortment of fashion fabrics and knits.
Mimi Fabrics – I forgot to mention them in my video as it was getting a little long, but they carry some nice fabrics and turn around was really quick!
Simplifi Fabric – my go-to for organic/eco-friendly fabrics.
International
ETSY! – I love shopping for fabric on Etsy. There are several shops I have purchased from repeatedly in Japan, South Korea and Easter Europe. The wonderful thing about Etsy is you can narrow down your search by location. I show you how in my YouTube Video.
My Go-To Shops for Elastic and Notions
In no particular geographic order
Bra-Makers Supply – they literally have everything. Based in Ontario, Canada.
Sew Sassy – one of my old favourites for elastics, but I haven’t purchased from them in a long time!
TailorMadeShoppe – USA based shop that sells supplies, fabric and kits!
EmeraldErin – Ontario, Canada based lingerie pattern maker who also sells supplies and kits for her patterns.
Porcelynne – a fantastic source for lingerie making supplies, books and ebooks. Pretty sure I have one of her books in my collection…
Aliexpress – a great resource if you need to purchase in larger quantities.
Wawak.ca / Wawak.com – Next day delivery in the US and quick in Canada too! My #1 source for thread, general workroom supplies, and they have a good selection of elastics and some bra making supplies as well.
I hope this has been helpful! Did you discover some new shops in this list? Did I somehow skip over your favourite? I’d love it if you’d leave me a comment!
