International Fabric Sources

I have no indie fabric sources to share in the entirety of Africa, the Middle East, Asia (only1), or South America -please share if you know of any.

This gap is due to my own silly ignorance/bias of a language barrier, wanting the fabric descriptions & ability to order in english, it’s american-awful {hides face in hands}.

I will update here as new sources are shared as well as send out an updated email twice a year.
So PLEASE keep sharing!
This is a community based & shared list and these folks stay in business with our support!
