in the name of research I've done a little fabric shopping
welcome to the Sewing Report I'm Jennifer Moore helping you discover your love of
sewing it as you can see I've got this amount of fabric all from an online
fabric store called Fashion Fabrics club.com and I originally found out
about this site from my friend Emily Hallman designs she would often get
quite a few of her fabrics from fashion fabrics club and they were gorgeous so
this is gonna be a bit of a fabric haul and a review all wrapped into one so
what I've done is I've taken screenshots of all of the products I ordered from
fashion fabrics club comm and I'm gonna be comparing it to what I actually got
right here to see if what I was seeing on the website kind of matches up with
my perceptions and what I actually got so let's get started of course I waited
until there was a really good sale this particular sale was on silk fabric and I
think there was still a sale on wool fabrics this is actually a remnant and
so one thing I noticed about fashion fabrics club.com is they're always
having sales so if something's not on sale one week
just wait also another thing to keep in mind is not all of the fabrics are
reorder Abal so some of what you see once it's gone it really is gone and
there's no coming back from that other fabrics they can keep stocking so if it
says reorder a bowl on the item that means it you can actually keep on
getting it and you don't have to worry about it running out but I noticed there
was a discount section and they sold fabric remnants this is one of the
remnants I got this is a navy blue suiting and it's I believe 75% cotton
25% polyester and that was appealing to me because it wasn't wool so it still
hopefully was breathable it does have some poly in it and it's machine
washable which was very important to me I tend to mostly go for machine washable
fabrics and this is a three-yard remnant piece and I paid 13548 1350 for this
whole big piece I believe it's 60 inches wide and I would have to say this feels
like a pretty quality fabric I like it in
does look like something you would get in like a men's or a woman's suit and
the quality seems pretty decent there's a couple like little gnarly bits every
once in a while but for the most part I think for 1350 this is a pretty good
deal the color is a little bit darker than what I thought it looked like on
the website but I'm not real bummed out about that so I am pretty happy with
this piece the next item is this dark blush pink stretch poplin so it's mostly
cotton and it's got a little bit of lycra in it and this is the type of
fabric that my friend Emily orders quite often and she makes really cool stuff
with it so I thought I would give it a try and it does have a little bit of
stretch in it and this is also a remnant piece this is four and a half yards this
piece also has a wider width and I noticed pretty much all of the fabrics
on fashion fabrics club.com did have that wider width so I like that and this
piece was 1750 I am actually pretty happy with the quality of this I'm gonna
try to pre wash it and maybe I'll try to make a shirt out of it and this fun
lemony yellow piece is a four yard cut of sort of a rayon polyester I would say
it's like a boucle suiting type fabric I had my eye on it for a while I thought
the color just looked really fun I got four yards of it and it was 525 yard and
it said on the description that it was imported from Italy I think this is
super cute although the print I don't know why somehow it looks slightly
different on the website than it does in person but I would say I'm still pretty
happy with it and I'm really excited there is one thing though that I have to
mention for some of the fabrics you can have the option of adding a matching
spool of thread to it so I was like oh how cool you know I'll do it for this
fabric because I don't really have any yellow thread like this so I thought I
was going to get a spool of thread that matched the yellow print so I paid a
dollar eighty for the spool of thread only to get this fashion fabrics Club
really this is white thread I have tons of white thread at home I think if
you're gonna bill it as a matching thread it should at least match the
color of the print I don't know was a little bit disappointed by this
but it was a dollar eighty just know going in if you have fabric with white
in it you may just get white thread all right all right I may have gone a little
overboard with the pink I got this hot pink cotton lawn fabric it was on sale
for 248 so I got four yards of it I figure I can always use a cotton lawn
for something whether it be a lining or maybe like a lightweight blouse or you
know something I don't know I just figured I needed it so I got it and I
felt like the color depiction was fairly accurate for this it did say it was a
very lightweight weave and it's it is very lightweight so again I wouldn't use
this as like a standalone garment you would need to use this as a line so I
might use this as a lining fabric probably most likely this last fabric I
was really taking a chance in this I've never bought silk before this is 100%
silk hydrangea pink suiting it looked very pretty on line I will say that in
person it looks quite a bit different I'm really not disappointed in the
fabric but it just looks different than how I imagined maybe I'm just really bad
at this sort of thing I don't know I'm but again I'll keep it and this was
definitely a bit of a wild card and I think it's a really cool fabric I don't
know what I'm gonna do with it I really hope you could hand wash it because I
don't really do dry clean only fabrics it was on a week where silk was insanely
on sale so it was $5 a yard I got four yards yeah I seem to have a four yard
theme here so I just thought you know what I'll take a chance and see what
happens so this is what I got I have no idea
what to do with this we'll have to see so that's my fashion fabrics Club haul
and review and I hope it helps because I wanted to screenshot all of the items
just so you can see sometimes it's hard to buy fabric online because you don't
know exactly what you're getting so this is my impression of fashion fabrics
club.com on a scale of one to ten I'd probably rate fashion fabrics club maybe
with 7.5 to an eight I thought the prices
were great and I thought they had some really unique cool fabrics as far as the
impression on what you see on the website to what you get in person yeah
some of it was more accurate than others and I will say the websites not the most
user-friendly website so you do have to navigate quite a bit to find deals in to
find what you're really looking for but overall I'm fairly happy with this
order and I would definitely order from fashion fabrics club again there is a
fairly high minimum order amount to get free shipping
I noticed usually it was like 79 or 69 dollars to get free shipping and other
sites have a lower threshold to get that free shipping but I thought their price
is definitely more than made up for and I found a lot of really cool stuff that
I probably wouldn't have gone for so if you ordered from fashion fabric club let
me know what you think would you try out this site would you not I don't know
anyways I'll see you guys next time for another video and keep on sewing
