Date: 4/12/12 6:34 AM Does anyone know of fabric stores in Pittsburgh, PA that sell home dec fabric? A friend wants to make drapes and I am not very familiar with the fabric stores there. Thanks. |

I haven't been there in years but the biggest home dec store in Pgh used to be Gene Sanes in the Strip District. Gene Sanes Upholstery
A review on google says they don't answer email, though. Perhaps a phone call would be more productive.
Don't miss the rest of the Strip District shopping if you go! Fun place--its the one thing I really miss about living in "the 'burgh."

Date: 4/15/12 9:33 AM It is almost the ONLY one that sells home dec besides JoAnn.
Calico Corners closed its doors about a year ago, as did Textile Studio.
You may wish to try http://www.decoratorsupplyinc.com/
and see if you have any luck with that.
Always looking for PR members to hook up with for gabbing and fitting... Private Message me if you're interested.

Date: 6/5/12 0:50 AM There's a store in PA, although not Pittsburg, called Barn Fabric Center and they specialize in home dec with incredible prices. I've mail ordered from them before. barnfabriccenter.com ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since. |
