If you sew I suggest visting Hancock Fabrics in Bloomington in the Southtown shopping center. They carry an extensive supply of notions and supplies as well as fabric, home decorating essentials and quilting stuff. It is not as large as a Joann superstore but I have found that if a certain item is not available at the large, popular chain stores I am likely to find it at this smaller craft store. Recently I was on the hunt for a magnetic snap used in making purses and tote bags and I could not find it anywhere. On a whim I drove over to Hancock's and they had plenty and in several finishes! They are known to have some great deals on patterns. I have purchased many different brands during their $1 promotions. They also send out coupons if you sign up for their circular. This is a great store for those who sew!
