Finding The Common Thread: Austin's New Fabric Heaven
Jeanie Brown really loves fabric. When she needed a print jersey for a project and couldn't find it, it struck her how difficult it has become for home sewers to find apparel fabric. So she opened a fabric store. Make that "fabric gallery", because the pieces on the walls are bolts of fabric, simply displayed and eloquently curated.
