Puyallup, WA  -  February 1 - March 3  --  Sewing & Stitchery Expo

Vogue Fabrics is loading up the Semi-truck and bringing a fantastic array of exciting items to cities across the United States!  Click onto a city near you to jump to the registration page for that sewing expo. Make sure you have registered your email address to receive email blasts with updates and coupons to use in our booth!


*At each venue our booths will offer a slightly different selection based on the size of our booth, the season for the show, and the new novelty items we have to offer you. Smaller venues will not have the same fabric bolts and pattern selection of larger venues.  Military History Fest is a living history/reenactment festival, not a sewing show, so fabrics and notions are chosen for costuming.

No Minneapolis?

What! No place in rural (Upstate) New York!! We are a HUGE area, and Canadians come to shop here as well. NYC is the best in the world, but no where near the rest of us New Yorkers!

Choosing an Illinois city seems a bit cheap, since Chicago is in Illinois anyway!

You must be saving Savannah, GA for your winter visits!

Hi Everyone. Thanks for your comments. We go where the shows take us. We do not run them, we take a HUGE booth (400-1000 square feet!!!).

Cleveland -- you are in the spring -- this is just the FALL schedule. :-)

Minneapolis, we would love to come back, but the logistics are preventing it from happening. We hope to return in the future.

Seattle: Visit us in Puyallup in February at the Sewing & Stitchery Expo (Spring shows will be posted in January)

For all the other requests, please go to the sites for the show sponsors to check other cities and dates, and make your requests to them for additional cities:
www.Sewingexpo.com
www.Sewexpo.com
www.Quilts.com
www.americansewingexpo.com

And, yes, we do go to the shows in Illinois, because they are in our back yard and our staff likes to have fun at the expos as well. :-)

And how about Hawaii?? We always get left out :(
I've been going to Vogue on Main for 58 years and I miss it!! Don't you guys need A Hawaiian vacation?

Glad to see you are coming to Houston in November. I hope you will be able to squeeze some coutil and other corset making supplies onto the truck even though we are a "quilt show". I promise I will come to your booth and ask- "Do you have any corset supplies?"

Phikladelphia? We haven't had a eal fabric expo in years, but we need one. The major fabric stores here (Goldberg's, Staplers, Myerson's) have been closing, and we would seem to be a good place for a fabric store or a fabric expo to open. King of Prussia ( a subeurb about 15 miles west), not center city, would be my suggestion. Helen P

Why not Toronto? we also love vogue fabrics!

Hello again :-)

@Houston - You can always call to request exactly what you would like us to bring to the show so you can pick it up in the booth. Call 800-433-4313 to place an order by phone and have them waive the shipping charge so you can pick it up in the booth. Just order 2-3 weeks before the show so your order makes it onto the truck before it leaves Chicago.

@Toronto - we can get our truck up to Toronto, but we can't get it back into the states. The taxes and customs are crazy. Canada would love for us to come up to the CreativFestival in Toronto, but the US is not as good to us. We have tried for years to get across the northern border.

Everyone else, remember we do not host the consumer sewing shows, we go where there is demand and an existing show. If you would like us to come to a show near you, please tell us the name of the show so we can look into it. Thanks!

Are you considering hiring a bus and taking people down from Evanston to the expo - I'm sure you'd fill a bus or 3, I would be interestered

As a first-time buyer from Multiwood, I'm impressed by the exceptional service and quality of their furniture. I recently purchased a Cofee table for my living room, and it has quickly become a conversation piece among my guests. The design is unique, and the woodwork is exquisite. I'm thrilled with my purchase and will definitely be shopping at Multiwood again in the future.

The Skinny on Thinsulate

Dana Marie 1032 What if we told you there was one fabric that could keep you warm outside, indoors, in your bed - and it would totally go with everything? What is it?  It's 3M™ Thinsulate™ . This is an "interlining" which gets sewn between two fabrics to form a protective barrier from the elements. The next time you sew a winter coat, sandwich Thinsulate between the fashion fabric and the lining to get that extra layer of protection from wind and biting cold.  Thinsulate™ Insulation Type C offers about one and a half times the warmth of down and nearly twice the warmth of high loft fiberfill insulations when equal thicknesses are compared.  It is designed for use where a thin compressible insulation is important. It is breathable, moisture-resistant and can be washed or dry cleaned depending on individual manufacturers' recommendations. Here's what 3M has to say about their Thinsulate: "3M™ Thinsulate™ Insulation is used in your jack

Medical Scrub Fabric for Nurses, Doctors, Orderlies and Lab Techs

Nurses, doctors and health care professionals who are required to wear scrubs have a good idea of what works and does not work for them in the regulation attire.  The " one-size-fits-all " approach to hospital issued scrubs just does not cut it sometimes, you know? Do you relate to any of these statements? You need a larger pocket for your stethoscope. You won’t wear scrubs with less than two shirt pockets. You like lots of pockets on the pants like cargo pants. You can’t stand pockets on the pants because they pull the pants down. You want a longer scrub top to cover your hips & "thangs" better. You work so hard your side seams are starting to burst. You need something shorter/longer because of your height. You need a fuller cut in the bust, but you don’t want to look like you are wearing a tent at the waist. OK, OK, OK….. You get the idea.  We all have our preferences.  So, what to do?

Becoming a Fashion Designer. Tips on Starting a Fashion Design Business.

We get hundreds of visits from Fashion designers at Vogue Fabrics Warehouse. Over the years, I’ve gotten to know a few dozen of them personally and I have come to learn a few things about what they do well and what mistakes they make. I have especially learned that fashion design and having an apparel line is not an easy business. But once you learn the tricks it can bring a lot of satisfaction, purpose, esteem, fame, and hopefully- profit. Recently, we were visited by a young designer who was just starting her business.  After working with her for many hours we were able to fill her inventory needs. At the end of her visit, we both agreed she had made the right choice in visiting us instead of making dozens of appointments with vendors in other cities' garment districts. Our access to several dozen fabric types, constructions, and styles, some with continuity and some novelty, ended up being our strongest advantage as a source for fabrics.  Undoubtedly, she could have saved a li
