Well, that's an interesting question. Most fabric is of sufficient quality, so I select for style and look for bold color. Summer shirts are mostly light cotton, and there are a million places to get that. Quilters and garment sewers are the textile equivalent of Star Wars/Star Trek fandoms and don't cross paths much, but any store catering to quilters is a good place to look for summer shirt fabric. For winter shirts, I like flannel, and Joann was the best for that, particularly when they would put it on sale for $2.50/yd. I'll miss walking the aisles, scanning a hundred patterns all at once, but will figure something out. There are plenty of web stores, but it gets tiresome going through patterns one at a time instead of seeing a row of bolts in one glance, but that's where we are at now. Fabric.com used to be the best web store, but amazon bought and destroyed them a couple years ago. Having favorite designers helps narrow the search a bit. Alexander Henry Fabrics was my absolute first choice for patterns. They did magnificent work, but Marc DeLeon, who was the lead, passed away a few months back and his kids are shutting down the company. Robert Kaufman fabrics and Michael Miller fabrics are two others that have some very fun prints. One place where quality was an issue was Hobby Lobby. Stopped in to check out their selection when Joanns imploded. They had a nice selection of patterns, but the fabric felt like sandpaper. They also only sold house brand thread rather than Coats or Gutterman. Michael's seems to be expanding their fabric selection in response to recent events as well, so I'm sure the local options will eventually rebound.
