A little while ago I was on the hunt from some Zorb fabric for a super special top secret project I’m working on. I wanted to find it within Canada to save on shipping and get it quickly as I am very impatient.
One of the first shops that popped up in my search was The Fabric Club / Club Tissus (en francais!). I’ve seen this shop many times but hadn’t ordered from them. As the name implies, you can purchase a “club” membership which gets you special pricing. This is similar to Fabricland stores (Canadian chain) sewing club card, which get you a special discount (and special sales, etc). I didn’t buy the membership at this time, but it was tempting!
I am trying to be more conscious of my consumer consumption, so I’m trying to buy just what I need for a project, as opposed to what I want. So I got a little bit of Zorb, a bit of PUL, some really nice printed modal jersey and a beautiful teal cotton lycra jersey. The modal is very much as I expected, super soft, light and airy. The cotton jersey was quite solid, similar to the Luxe Jersey I like from the Fabric Snob. It has a fairly sturdy hand, but still lots of stretch and quite soft.
I was quite happy with the turn around on this little order. I ordered it on the Thursday before Good Friday, and received it the following Friday. So, despite the holidays, I still got it in about a weeks time from Quebec to Ontario!
I just pulled everything out of the dryer and am excited to get started on my top secret special project. Comment below if you have an idea what I’ll be making!
