Fabric Mart Fabricistas

We receive a lot of phone calls at Fabric Mart and have noticed our customers have the same questions and concerns.  To help you we made a list of our most frequently asked questions:  http://www.impactlearning.com/telephone-etiquette/ 1. Why can’t I order swatches of the fabric offered on the Fabric Mart website? Because we buy relatively small yardages from designers and manufacturers, our fabric sells out very quickly. Therefore, we would not be able to ensure that the fabric you requested would still be available. We try to provide the best description possible of the fabric instead and offer a 100% guarantee if you are not satisfied with the fabric. 2. How is Fabric Mart different from other online stores?

I have something special for you on the blog today!  Meet my friend Grace from You by Grace is here to show you some of her favorite trends for this season. I met Grace through Char Photography and loved her personal style from the very first minute. I was thrilled with excitement when I saw that Grace was going to be working with Char as a stylist. I began following her blog and Pinterest immediately! I highly recommend you do too! Hi, My name is Grace. I am a stylist. I am passionate about creating, fashion, color, art, and beauty. As I tend to follow the the fashion trends, I personally feel that fashion isn’t fashion without putting your own twist to it. Owning what you wear and how you wear it. If it is adding something you love to a “trend” or minimizing the “trend” to make it your own, I feel that is what makes it YOURS. I love originality, and I believe that is what makes true style. I work for a phenomenal Photographer, Char ( http://www.charphotography. com

Pumpkin decorating has been taken to new levels in the 21st Century!
