[Gatesedge] Fabric stores?

[Young, Carolyn]

I think the upholstery store Ihon was talking about is Calico Corner.  There
is one on FM 1960 W not too far from Willowbrook Mall area.  And, yes, their
fabrics do *overlap*.  It's been a while since I was in there, but they used
to have some really neat woven tapestry-like material and other neat stuff
for later period garb.

Happy shopping,
Caitlin

aaaack!  I was soo spoiled, living near Dallas. I made
friends with the cutters and Sylvia, the manager, and
it was lots of fun to go over there.  Sigh...
Upholstery isn't necessarily great for costumes, but
it's worth a try!  Sometimes things overlap.

Thank you very much for the information.  I had no
idea where to even start!  

My area is primarily more historical costume than
modern, but it appears that where I am working now
(PVAM) we will be doing more modern than period stuff.
 Quelle bummer.  But maybe I can get them talked
around now that they have a costume person on the
faculty!
