New York is full of places to stay, and there is something for every budget, so that question is about impossible to answer without some indication of what you want to spend. I can certainly provide you with maps to guide you throughout the district, or a tour, if you feel that would serve you better. All of these are hard questions to answer without some details! You can email me directly with more specifics, if you like.mimi jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046101113822427313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-61678168884857907402016-05-09T10:53:16.552-04:002016-05-09T10:53:16.552-04:00Mimi, I have been watching your blog for a while n...Mimi, I have been watching your blog for a while now a finally worked up the courage to ask lots of questions!!<br />I and maybe some friends would like to take advantage of your knowledge of the garment district and do some touring as well as a 'little' buying there. Our problem is we are newbys to the area and have no idea where to stay when we get there.<br />Should we drive (from Ohio) or fly in? What is the best way to use your talents to our best advantage?Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526541657590924919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-81349510726627154342016-04-23T16:13:21.290-04:002016-04-23T16:13:21.290-04:00The prices for quality are better in the NY garmen...The prices for quality are better in the NY garment district (although this likely applies to other fabric districts in big, metropolitan areas around the world. because home sewing fabric stores located elsewhere rarely have the best quality or variety of goods.

I have two questions if I might - (1) Are the prices any better in the Garment District or is it really a matter of volume and availability. (2) What is the best way to locate a specific designer's fabric? Thank you in advance for your help!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600149073322078895noreply@blogger.com
