%26#39;..Ground Zero%26#39; for fabric shops in Paris will probably be up in the 18eme-Montmartre, below Sacre Coeur. There are a concentration of fabric and sweing %26amp; needlecraft shos up in this neighborhood...the largest will be--

DREYFUS-MARCHÉ SAINT PIERRE--

Thank you very much for your help. I%26#39;ve been to the fabric shops below Sacre Coeur before and we will definately go to the shops that you have suggested!

Do you know of any place that would have any Toile?

Thanks again!

My knowledge of fabrics is largely limited to my wife occasionally holding up a sample of some cloth or another and asking, %26quot;...what I think of this for mumble...mumble...mumble...in the mumble..mumble...mumble..room ?...%26quot; (which is seldom very much one way or another) but if you mean something like a light ,cotton, printed fabric (it%26#39;s pretty much all %26#39;..chintz..%26#39; to me) then I know that Marché Saint Pierre has an e x t e n s i v e (and time consuming) selection.

If you use the %26#39;..SEARCH IN:..%26quot; feature of this TA forum, using %26#39;..Fabric..%26#39;, %26#39;..Fabric Stores..%26#39;, %26#39;..Sewing..%26#39; as your general Search criteria, you will come across several threads with a lot more information and insights on these topics that may better direct you to what you%26#39;re looking for.

KD is absolutely right about Marche St. Pierre. And, I think you can find the best selection on the very first street you come to, after you exit metro Anvers so you don%26#39;t have to go too far. Walk up rue Steinkerque, pass the couple of %26quot;Sympa%26quot; clothing bin stores, and the 1st and 2nd fabric shops you come to on the left hand side have what I%26#39;ve found to be some of the best toile selection of all. reyfuss and Moline (up Steinkurque and right a couple of blocks) are very good, too, but if you aren%26#39;t in the mood to fight the crowds, you don%26#39;t have to.

Look at this web site. Also Tissue Reine is a 4 story fabric selling place right there in Montmarte. I love the Montmarte area for wonderful fabrics. I am sure you will find what you want there! There are those two multistory fabric stores and many small places that are on the surrounding streets.

Bouchar is a good place to go look for fabric and pre-made linen.

The big department stores also have small %26quot;tissue%26quot; departments too ( BHV, Galleries, Bon Marche, etc).

If you ask your hotel desk clerk he can also give you a computer list of addresses for small fabric stores .... some dealing with just quilting fabrics and needlepoint and crossstitch products.

I usally go to all the above places.

Thank you all so very much!! All your information it very apperciated.

I just came back and had a blast looking through all the fabric stores by the Sacre Couer! I ended up with a gorgeous linen/cotton toile for 15E a meter; great price! I%26#39;m going to upholster an old wingback chair, which will then be my Paris chair! I found it on one of the side streets to the right of the street everyone walks up to go to the church.

Have fun!

Sorry I didn%26#39;t see this post sooner. The screen name on your post today caught my eye. I visited a cute little quilt shop last December that you might like. It%26#39;s called Le Rouvray Patchworks, at 3 rue de la Bucherie in the 5th. They have lovely French fabrics and toile. Their website is www.lerouvray.com. I bought a few sets of gorgeous fat quarters that I%26#39;m hanging on to till I find just the right project. If you ask Diane she will guide you to the fabrics that can%26#39;t be found in the US.
