Fabric Row?
Has anyone ever shopped for fabric on fabric row in Philly? I didn't even know this was a place/section. MIL offered to make curtains for the boys room since I hate everything I see. My sister suggested going down there. Just curious if its worth the trip. I dont want to pay more than $10-14 a yard and everything online is $18+. I thought maybe before I went to the city, I'd see if anyone knew if this was even a realistic price range for material that isn't so thin you can see through it.

Re: Fabric Row?
I honestly don't know if you'll pay cheaper then the Internet. But it's worth a shot.
Most of the stores are on 4th.

They have really great prices but the only one I've been to was in a really bad neighborhood. Don't go alone, don't go at night and maybe wash any purchases twice...

Jump on their website and check for printable coupons. They also accept competitors coupons. Michaels has some good ones you can print off.
Thanks, everyone! I'm looking for something with grey and white stripes. Maybe chevron or just simple thick horizontal stripes. Nothing too crazy. I was going to go to JoAnns first just in case but figured if I couldn't find anything, would a trip to Philly be worth it? Sounds like thats a ... maybe?

You can make it worth it if you also go to 4th Street Deli for lunch...
Duly noted!

Oh dude I bought this exact thing for curtains in my house 8 per yard. For a nursery I would do black out fabric lining the back.

Wow. Thats a great deal! Thanks
My sister said the same thing about the black out fabric behind it. MIL could easily sew that and attach it.

It is a nice weight fabric too! I see people double the price of this exact fabric on etsy all the time.
everywhere I look its at least $18 a yard if not more. I'm assuming I can buy black out fabric? Is that a thing? haha

Perfect. Thanks! I'm going to scope both of those places out before I order anything though just to look but the fabric you sent is definitely my front runner. It'll go well with the crazy orange rug I bought!
