Already looked at simplicity.com , patternreview.com , sewingpatterns.com and prowl ebay, etsy, ecrater and artfire.
I do have a fabricland in town but they have very few pattern sales.

So far ebay and etsy are the best for cheap shipping.
Any other suggestions? |

I just joined their "Prime" service ($80/year) and now I'm getting free shipping on most of the things I buy, and they have 2-day delivery. I ended up spending more than $100 in shipping charges last year, so I think this will save me money in the long run... except that it's so easy to order and now i get things so quickly, I'm ordering stuff more! 
Fabric.com and Vogue Fabrics sell through Amazon, too.
Not sure if this is available in Canada - I'm in the U.S. |

Date: 1/7/13 11:43 AM Thanks quathy for the Amazon tip. Most of the stores on Amazon.com won't ship out of the US but I did find one that would and they had the patterns I am looking for. It's another option other than ebay and etsy. |
