[Gatesedge] Fabric stores?

[digigirl]

Yeah, I've been spoiled too.  Coming from Caid, when we needed fabric
we'd just run over to the Garment District in LA and shop through
literally hundreds of warehouses right next to each other - every kind
of fabric you can imagine in almost any color.

Fortunately, I still have some contacts out there to shop for me and
mail it to me, if I get really desperate for something particular that
I can't find. :)

But, I am looking forward to getting out and checking out the local
resources. I'm not nearly organized enough to have my fabric mailed to
me ahead of time every time I want to sew (and let's not even talk
about mistakes and having to run out and buy more..... ;).
