Where do you get your fabric ? I have hard time finding a decent quality cotton that is not translucent 😔

[@lifewithbess]

Heya! I like to use devonstone cotton and I am able to source it from its direct supplier in Australia for my shop. But if you love the colour of a particular cotton but hate it’s too thin and translucent - just layer up with 2 layers of the cotton or with calico like I did. A heap of embroidery artists who use kona cotton and other homespun cottons do this already 😊
