I too am an artist and have been sewing for 40 years and have become so disappointed in the recent poor quality of the fabrics at the fabric stores. I am so frustrated. I remember when I was a child we has Shirt Factories and quilt making factories….and now it is all gone. I remember having shirts that had passed down from several cousins and they were still high quality and in perfect shape after years of use….now I am luck if a shirt I buy at Walmart last me one year before it starts falling apart…..It is so sad…..we need a revolution to bring the jobs back to America again…the main reason we have so many unemployed is because all of the workers for our goods are in CHINA and INDIA….it is so depressing when knowing it can be fixed so easily….WE need to start making stuff here in AMERICA again…..and we need to stop IMPORTING ……this is crazy…..

Thanks Phyllis! Actually Lion Brand also has a cotton yarn that is made in the US. I appreciate you sharing the information with all of us that are interested in finding “made in america” textiles. Thanks for visiting our blog. Have a great day.

Bonnie, I wish I had found your site before I spent the last 3 days trying to find fabric “Made in USA”. I would settle for North America. The good news is that I found cotton yarn that is made from cotton grown in the USA and spun in Canada. It is Sugar ‘n Cream, and here is a link to the website with the info. It’s available here in Ben Franklin and WalMart.

Wish the news were as good about fabric.

I have been searching, too, for American made fabric and many other products that are made in America. For those of us who want to buy American, it has been a futile and frustrating search.

I’ve bookmarked your site in the hopes that you or someone else will be able to find more American made products, especially fabric. Thanks.

Thank you for your comment. I continue to search for fabric made, and, or printed in America.
Hopefully we will eventually have more options, but for now the choices are somewhat limited.
Good luck! Please come back and share if you find any other resources in your journey.
