Seeking names of good fabric store(s) in Chicago

[KBecks]

A friend wants some good fabric for clothing and does not like what is available locally. I know there is at least one good fabric store in the Chicago-area that has high quality fabrics for garments. She is specifically looking for natural fiber. Could anyone help me with a source? If there are multiple places, ones to the north would be most convenient.

Thank you!

Vogue Fabrics and Fishman's Fabrics -- although the latter is pretty expensive.

I second the Fishman's recommendation and would also suggest Off the Bolt.

I found web sites for vogue and off the bolt.
Does the fisherman place have a web site? Anyone know where it is located?

Thanks!

Here's an entire thread devoted to Chicage Fabric Stores, from one of the sewing sites I read.

I believe Fishman's is located at Roosevelt and Des Plaines Ave (just one block east of the Kennedy Expressway). Very close to UIC campus, just on the other side of the expressway.
