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

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. :-)
I've been going to Vogue on Main for 58 years and I miss it!! Don't you guys need A Hawaiian vacation?
North Carolina???????
We DO sew here as well.
Maybe when you get to Atlanta you can come on down. I'm from Michigan originally.
Thanks.

@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!
