Unique Fabric Source

Rats! I have just spent a precious HOUR exploring that site and some of the links... And I DON'T HAVE TIME! Got 2 pairs of shorts to finish, and a dozen or so labels to sew on before James goes to camp in FRANCE at 4:15 today!

I haven't ordered from them but they send samples, which I have ordered and the material is beautiful. The samples come very quickly. There is also a sewing guide on the site which is excellent if your not sure of how to sew an unfamiliar fabric. They have very pretty fabrics. Juno

I've been shopping there since she was selling on eBay yeara ago, and have never had a problem.

Sorry! ;-}

Betcha got 'em done, too.

Beverly

That's very good to know, thanks!

Beverly

Over an hour to spare... AND I'd packed all his kit too!

I have noticed quite a few people that have ordered from emmaonesock.com on the patternreview.com website. It seems like everyone has been very happy with them. I personally haven't ordered, but that is only because I have enough fabric already on hand to last several lifetimes!

And you were worried........ Oh ye of little faith... ;) I knew you'd get it done. Good job on using stashed stuff to get him dressed too.

I had to smile at this post of yours. I had only just posted my response about the international flavour of this list and here is your post about a supplier in your own country that you hadn't known about till now.

Somehow or other (perhaps from reading 'Threads'????) sitting here on the other side of the world, I had come across that name and was so intrigued by it that I knew about it ages ago. I wondered if it could be a Native American name so did a bit of a hunt. We have a few Aboriginal fabric designers but not many so I wondered..........

Ain't the Internet a wondrous thing?

I think I can say, without fear of contradiction, that there are probably *dozens* (hundreds?) of fabric suppliers in my country I have never yet heard of. Of course, I'll keep seeking them all out. ;-)

Indeed!

Your question made me curious, too:

Why EmmaOneSock.com? Emma One Sock was founded in 1994 as a boutique line of children's clothing designed and manufactured by yours truly, Linda Podietz. When I decided to 'retire' this business in the beginning of 2001, I began to sell off some of the very beautiful fabrics that I had accumulated over the years. It became apparent that there was a market for the types of fabrics to which I had access, and suddenly I found myself in the fabric-selling business! Since the company was originally named for my two children, EmmaOneSock.com has remained as the name for my new incarnation as a fabric seller.

I wonder, does that mean she has one child named "Emma" and another named "One Sock"? :-O

Beverly

GMTA!! That's exactly what I wondered.

I have sent an e-mail enquiry, I'll let you know what she says. ;-)

Beverly

Cool!

She e-mailed me back:

The other is Aaron, his nickname as a baby was "one sock" (for always pulling off one sock).... Now he's almost 16 and my daughter is 18 and off to college soon.... it was a long time ago!

This email was stuck in my spam, so I apologize for the delay... just retrieved it! Regards, Linda

So now you all know how the website name came about. ;-)

Beverly

I love it! She *did* name her site after her two children!

Reminds me of an old joke about how a tribe of Indians named their children after the first thing the father saw when he exited the birthing tent after greeting the new child........

ROTFLOL! My son-in-law told that during our trip to the desert SW last spring. As I recall the old chief saw "Two-Dogs-A-......"

I almost wet myself laughing.
