Hi Theresa,
DiviDivi is on Company St. That's the one way going east to west as you are going through C'sted. There is a craft/art supply store in Sion Farm. It is called The Frame Up. It's not in the United Plaza, where Plaza Extra is, but it's in the strip center just west of United Pl. The dollar store in Sunny Isle has some fabric, too. For nice, higher end fabrics, Stitches in Gallows Bay is good.
Have fun!

No way! Our litte DiviDivi doesn't hold a candle to the fabric store on Goat St.

I'm so glad to see this--I was so afraid that I wouldn't have access to a decent fabric store. Do these run more to hobby-type fabrics, or would I be able to make the majority of my clothes, the way I always have?

I need a craft store on STT. I mean, where do the kids get their supplies to do projects? I looked in the phone book and found Rose's. Is that the only one? Slim pickings in Chelsea Drug Store and KMart in Tutu.

Some of the people who come on the quitting cruises love Fabric in Motion in town on "the Greenhouse St." on STT. Both Rose's and The Fabric Store have some craft/notion supplies. I think Office Max satisfies many projects, because the teachers know the limitations. Cash and Carry sometimes has something interesting. Red glitter sells out quickly at all the stores, so plan ahead!

Thanks! I didn't even think about Office Max. They may have the kind of hobby supplies I am looking for. But I am definitely not looking for fabric.
