Resources
Here’s is a listing of my favorite tools, suppliers, fabric stores, online resources, Youtube channels and blogs.
You don’t need a trade account to purchase from these sights. I try to search out resources that are diyer friendly, meaning you don’t have to purchase large quantities of supplies, but still get decent pricing.
Many of the links are Amazon links where you can purchase items directly. I do make a small commission on items purchased thru these Amazon links. But rest assured I only suggest or recommend items that I have used or have had trusted associates use. Please see my full disclosure policy here.
If you are looking to purchase upholstery supplies in smaller quantities at decent prices and good quality please check out my new favorite resource. My friend, Alice Ann has offered a special discount code for 15% off orders of $15 or more and free shipping on orders over $35 or more. Many items already have free shipping! It’s always fabulous to support small businesses!
