Where do you find 60” wide fabric that’s not quilt backs?
There are several places that have great fabrics very reasonably priced if you’re in the US. I use this one regularly https://zelouffabrics.com/. They have beautiful brocades, damask meshes. Pretty much anything you need. Most of the synthetic fabrics are 58”-60” wide. Also https://fabricmartfabrics.com/they’re having a 50% off sale today! Also this one has fabrics in the appropriate fabrics & https://fabricwholesaledirect.com. I use all 3 of these suppliers
Beautiful!! I can see this being made for holiday gatherings!
So pretty!!!
