Advice, please, about not-too-high-end, more than Joann's fabric stores.
I'll be in the area of the Astrodome for a couple of weeks, but I will have a car, and have time for exploring.
thanks - and wish me luck - that I come home with my retirement account still intact!

Go to High Fashion Fabric Center which I think is on Milam, downtown, probably 15 mins from the dome. Lots of beautiful couture fabrics, silks, laces, trims. Fun place.
Also try Universal Fabrics in Rice Village (5 mins from the dome).
If you go to Universal, you are also 5 mins away from Glick Textiles which is on the I-59 freeway. Tons of *buy the bolt* fabrics.
Have fun,

When I went there last October I bought about 5 pieces of printed Silks for shirts beautiful fabric the cose was about 7 -9 dollars a yard normal price was 21 -25 dollars a yard.

Ditto on Mary's recommendations. DO NOT MISS High Fashion.
There are also some really fantastic sari shops around Westpark and Harwin @ Hillcroft (just off SW Fwy)--better than a candy shop!!

Mary, Linda, and Leslie - Many thanks for the recommendations - and Leslie, your reference to Hillcroft reminded me that was the street I lived on when I last lived in Houston- my home town.
Now, on to some serious stash shopping!
