Fabric stores- the brick and mortar kind- for me have really lost their luster. Even places like Jo-Anne Fabrics, which is a huge store, has very little in terms of variation. It's almost entirely quilter's calico cotton or chiffons.
And of course, buying fabric online is a bit tough, b/c 1) color issues, and 2) you have to pay more to ship it.
I actually tried doing the Alibaba thing too, but I was completely lost when it came to answering how I wanted the textiles sent to me- FOB? What Port? Do I have a courier? Umm,...Don't you just mail it to me? I felt really stupid for not knowing what that stuff meant, and couldn't for the life of me understand why i couldn't have it mailed, since i've bought things overseas before and never needed that stuff. I know there are sellers who do retail and wholesale on their, but I don't think retail is their forte. The language barrier is always a huge problem, and then I worry asking about what something means will make them think i'm an easy mark and they'll try to up sell me.

Sorry, I'm rambling ;P I have bought some cotton/spandex blends for yoga pants from a place online called Designer Alley fabrics, and had a really good experience with them. They've got a pretty broad selection, and there's a lot of different blends, and I thought their prices were really fair. Etsy is kind of outrageous when it comes to fabric.

I'm not sure how much fabric you're looking for, but I know they do wholesale prices too, and they will custom-design fabric if you can't find what you need. I'm sure there's a minimum order requirement for that service, so if you're just looking for personal use, that might not apply- but really, they had a pretty wide selection, so I can't see you having trouble finding what you need.

Okay, I just did a search for you there with "tube cotton spandex" and it brought a HUGE list, so yes, definitely available. Most of the fabrics were between 10-12 oz, weight wise. Pricing was around $10.50 a yard, not too bad. They have swatches for $1.00, or you can buy a booklet with all the colors-I bought one for their cotton jersey so I didn't have to sweat the colors being vastly different from how they looked on screen. Also, they had a banner for free shipping, but I don't know how long that lasts, so make sure to look for it if you do order.

Hope that helps, and happy stitching! I love sewing projects :)

Companies do not ship jobs overseas. They ship orders overseas. They buy goods made in China rather than produce them here because American consumers will buy a $10.00 garment made in China but will not buy an identical garment made in America for $25.00. When we allowed China to join the WTO and opened our markets to its cheap products, Americans bought those goods. American companies imported those goods from China. They could not produce them here and sell them at anything close to a competitive price. So, many of our companies became importers and distributors and ceased to be domestic manufacturers. The alternative was bankruptcy. It was “free” trade agreements entered into by our government that eliminated so many American manufacturing jobs, not our “greedy” corporations, that “shipped” those jobs overseas. Obama really doesn’t get it. If it costs an American manufacturer $20.00 to make a garment that its competitor can import from China for$5.00, there is NO tax incentive that will enable the American manufacturer to offer its product at a competitive price. Even if its taxes are reduced to $zero, it cannot compete. It will go bankrupt. Patriotism may inspire, but it does not sell, at least not for two or three times the prices of a foreign-made product. Chinese companies pay their workers about $1.00 an hour. How do we compete with that?

Unfortunately, a large portion of the populace is woefully ignorant of even basic economics. They'll figure it out in two years -- long enough to roust the bums from Congress during the midterm elections -- then forget again in time to relect Obama after a Republican Congress has repaired the damage Obama and his party have caused.
