Retro styled awning fabric

Postby TNpreacher » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:33 am

Does anyone know a good, not-to-expensive supplier for retro style canvas awning fabric. I can either sew it or get it sewn to my needs but, I am having trouble finding the fabric. Any ideas? :thinking: Post to this thread or you can even email me [email protected]

your best bet is ebay....I just bought 20 yards for $100...that's way cheaper than I could find it anywhere....there's plenty of choice for quantity and colors.

They are not common, but with some searching you may find an upholstery shop.

My nearby city had one tucked away. Mostly, they work on sofa's and drapes, but they may have (or be able to get) outdoor canvas.

As a bonus, since teardrops are small.... you may get remnants. I got great fabric for about $6 a yard in the clearance. The chain fabric store was selling at $20 a yard.
