To subsidise my fabric bills, I opened up a small fabric retail page on facebook The FabricBUG - this allowed me to buy in fabrics by the bolt, use what I need for my handmade page and then sell the rest at a reasonable* price.
Before you start screaming at your computer..... fabric prices for Michael Miller, Amy Butler, Alexander Henry, Riley Blake etc can all range between $18-$25 from ONLINE Australian Retailers (and then you have to add post on top). This pricing guide is what allows me to label my price "reasonable"
BUT.... It gets better.... I have a tagline "The FabricBUG - Your friend... with BENEFITS" where I offer $15 per yard on orders of 2yds+... and not just on that order... for the entire month including buy in fabrics. If you haven't heard about this, you can read more here
Finally, since opening my page, I've networked quite a bit and have formed a great relationship with a buyer in the USA. This not only gives me access to bolts of yet to be released fabric but it also means I can (at times) offer CRAZY PRICES like this...
