Organic fabrics, especially knits! Also, machine washable wool knits

Living in Australia we are heading for spring/summer. I would love a floral fabric with a dark background suitable for a tailored jacket. However I have been tempted to order, but I find the high cost of postage doubles the price of the fabric… so I will just have to admire your lovely range from a distance.

I need great underlinings: silk or cotton batiste without lines or texture, silk organza, tricot for lining knits.

I'd really love to see merino jersey in several colors if possible. That stuff is hard to find! More ITY and in solid colors would also be lovely as would silk jersey

Printed knits – pontes and jerseys; rayon challis in prints and solids for soft, casual blouses

Ponte knits and wool plaids are what I plan on buying from you soon. Ready to start sewing for winter!

I'd love to see JCrew fabrics again!

Shetland wools to rug hook with. You have carried some beautiful ones in the past!

Nice ITY jerseys that aren't too thin and show every lump and bump.

Faux persian lamb and french net veiling

I would love to see silk/cotton blend fabric, organic fabrics, as well as 100% jersey knit and sweatshirt fabric. Thanks!

I don't envy your job – everyone wants something specific! Much of those can be found in local fabric stores – lining, denim etc. What you do best is offer fashion fabric. Every mailing inspires me and there are always several fabrics I want in every mailing. So keep up the great work! I do love ITY knits, knits for tops and dresses, bottom weights for pants, laces, glittery fabrics; I love them all!

Textured Wool for rug hooking. WOOL!!! PLEEEZ!!

Solid twill bottom weights in classic colors for grown up and kids' pants/skirts (the stuff at the fabric stores is mostly thin, overly shiny, or way overpriced for what you get)

Corduroy for kids clothes (including prints)

Solid matte prints in dark colors for leggins and yoga pants for the little ones and moi

Powernet and other body shaper fabrics. I can order from specialty shops but sometimes it's hit and miss. When I order from regular fabric stores, the quality varies widely and the item descriptions aren't up to snuff (and that' something I trust you guys to do and do well – describe things and, as sewists, actually understand what is/isn't feasible for a fabric).

Also, large spools of Guterman thread by the color. Not the color match but the ability to buy thread by color number. It's possible that I'm the only one (or one of the few) who have a thread card at home and can order by number based on things in my stash or what's running low. This is a convenience thing to me since it saves me the trip to a store and I'm placing an order anyway….. :)

Deep COOL-toned red stretch denim (predominately cotton, suitable for pants / skirts) is on my wish list and something that I'm having tremendous difficulty locating. Cotton or cotton-blend bottomweight fabrics with a touch of stretch will always pique my interest. As do pretty ITY and cotton knits for tops and dresses. Also love printed voiles and lawns.

I live in Tucson, AZ and it's hot here 9 months of the year. As a result, my "want list" is a little seasonally skewed. But here goes:

I bought 5 colors of this fabric last fall, and would happily buy more. It's extremely comfortable in the heat and launders well. Best I can tell, the opaque parts are cotton.
SKU35453 UYA4821 Diagonal and Burnout Stripe Knit Gunmetal Gray 52" Wide
SKU35454 UYB4822 Diagonal and Burnout Stripe Knit Heathered Brown 52" Wide

I'm looking for midweight-to-lightweight jersey knit for yoga-style pants. Fiber mostly cotton or rayon. Colors in pants-type neutrals – black, light and dark grey, khakis, muted blues.

I also watch cotton and rayon knit prints and pounce on the really special prints. ITY doesn't work as well in my climate.

oh, and maybe have another blast of free shipping if the order is over a certain amount. Try to have it once a month! Many times, when I'm to order, I compare your products (which are lovely) with fabric.com, and sometimes, I go with fabric.com just for the extra savings – I can buy a bit more and stretch my purchase longer. It is the recession and we are counting pennies!

Suri lining- 65% cotton/35% polyester

Light grey wool flannel for a blazer.

Shetland wools in lively colored plaids, tweeds and herringbones. You had a great selection I-2 years ago and I keep coming back hoping for more!
