Thanks for the info. I am specifically NOT looking in Manhattan. I work in the Garment District so I know their prices are generally not budget friendly.

I have a car and live in Queens so I can go anywhere in surrounding areas as well. The Long Island City Goodwill is a great tip, thanks.

Garment district isn’t just Mood and seen-on-tv stores. You need the old dusty disorganized ones, make some chit chat with the owner and and make a deal.

But anyway, There’s a fabric store on a side street in downtown Brooklyn which has bolts and bolts of $1/yd fabric displayed outside and inside everything is in chaotic heaps. Fulton Fabric.
