Fabric Bazaar and Consignment

The First Samples Fabric Bazaar plays matchmaker between local Austin designers who have fabrics to sell and seamsters on the prowl for unique and high quality apparel fabrics. There are so few places in Austin to buy fabric aside from the usual big box craft and sewing stores, and even fewer places that offer unique and fine apparel fabrics.

How does it operate?
• The foot control is easy to operate.
