If you're familiar with Etsy, you know it's a great place to find handmade items. It's also a fabulous place to find fabric for your own handmade creations.
I love to browse fabrics on Etsy and find the selection much more inspiring than what is typically on offer in large retail stores.
On Etsy you can browse by designer, colour, or by keyword. For example, try typing 'fabric bundle', or 'fabric owl'!
Here are some of my favourite fabric shops on Etsy:
First, the original handprints......
The Cotton Press - Hand-printed using a variety of eco-friendly, organic, natural and water-based materials.

greenolive textiles - Original designs, hand-printed using environmentally-friendly, solvent-free inks.
I love that this design is based on a drawing that the designeer made at the age of 5!

Fabricworm has a great selection of designer fabric and a good sale section as well. I love browsing the half yard, yard, and baby quilt sets.

BE WARNED: If you love fabric, shopping for it on Etsy is seriously addictive!

Customers provide feedback on shops and purchases and that means that you are very likely to receive exceptional customer service. It's like word of mouth on a global scale.
