Date: 5/23/06 12:01 PM Hi, Folks:
I am looking for a good website/mailorder source for swimwear fabrics, specifically print fabrics. What is the bets way to post such a request for information?
As a new patternreview member, I am not sure where my question belongs.
Thanks! |

Date: 5/23/06 3:52 PM I just received my order on ebay from Lycra Prints and was very favorably impressed with the 3 pieces of swimwear fabric I ordered. They have a huge selection and though there had been a few negative reviews for slow shipping my order arrived FAST!
