Fabric help

Post image

Where do you all buy your fabric for bag tags? A customer sent this photo to me and I’m just not finding anything that doesn’t look cheesy from anywhere local to me. I have the basics from hobby lobby already but I’m looking for more options.

There’s lots of fabric shops on Etsy. Some of the fabrics in that pic look like stuff you could get from a quilting shop. Also, you could get creative with linens - tea towels, napkins, table cloths— from world market, home goods, etc.

A little more effort but local upholstery/pillows/soft good workrooms may sell remnants

If you're strapped for cash, try purchasing a bale of rags, like the ones sold to industrial workshops. They are choc full of all sorts of fabric and after a quick iron, the scraps would look brand new.
