    Default Help Finding Specific Low Volume Fabrics

    Hello! I'm searching for white or cream background gray or black print low volume fabrics with just a little pop of color. Colors that would coordinate well with the solids/tonals that I've already chosen. Photos attached so you can get an idea of what I'm looking for as well as my starting fabrics. I already have lots of colored LVs as well as gray/black LVs. Having trouble finding gray/black with just a pop of color. Any and all suggestions appreciated!

    In my experience, this type of fabric is hard to find without lots of browsing. I would suggest you search for 'low volume fabric' on Etsy. The trouble with shopping Etsy is that if you find something in each of 10 different shops, you will have 10 separate shipping charges, and that can add up. But there might be low volume bundles available. Also, you could check the 'Backgrounds and Neutrals' tab at the Fat Quarter Shop, under 'shop by theme.'

    Thanks so much for the post. I too have been looking for these types of fabric. I didn't know there was a term for it. Now I should be more effective in my searches.

    Yeah...that site is dangerous!


    ***************

    Searching for neutrals-cream or neutrals-ivory can sometimes produce more results than searching for low volume.


    oh....and if you have nothing but time to kill, there are lots of online fabric shops to browse through....fabshop has lots all in one place. Window shopping there is fun, but it's also walking on the edge if you have a budget. They also have lots of free patterns to download.
