Let me preface this post with my awful experience with Broomcorn Fabrics on Perkins. I had set out this past March to find the perfect Hounds Tooth fabric to recover my dining room chairs (progression pictures to come after completion). They have a great selection (almost overwhelming) of expensive fabrics (i.e. Duralee). I had ordered a (what I have come to find waaaayyyy overpriced) Micro-suede Duralee Hounds Tooth fabric. It was very lovely and very stain resistant. Little did I know that it would be on back order for 3.5 months when I had been told it would come in 4-6 weeks. That is way overdue people!!! I made several calls ~ hopefully polite, but I was fed up after spending almost $200 on 3 yards!! When the fabric finally came in we had come to find the die-cast was off...yeah, that meant it looked dark brown and gold rather than stark black and beige. I had already painted a few of the dining room chairs black and I was not going to half-a$$ this project after so much time and money had gone into it. Needless to say, I got my money back ;) Shew, okay, now on to the good and delightful news.
I just happened to see this Discount Fabric store on Summer Rd. when I was in the passenger seat. It took some courage to go there (it's next to Pancake 24-7 House & a Latino nail place) hoping it wasn't a dump. It wasn't! This delightful and shall I say dainty guy, assisted me and was very sweet. I told him what I was looking for and he took me to this spool section:

Perfect! The hounds tooth fabric matches just right and we can just put another coat of Scotchguard to make it more stain resistant. Heck, for this cheap ($12.99/yd.) I can replace it when needed. I should come out $160 lighter b/c of this find. Yay!
Here are some more pictures around the shop:




They even have an even deeper discount section. The first sage/brown damask fabric is a remnant and is $6.99/yd. The black/cream damask bedskirt (double size) is $75! It's adorable, but not affordable for me at the moment. The other fabrics are $5.99/yd:




Thanks for posting! I'll have to give it a try - I'm needing to make some curtains!
