I wish they had a store out here, like in the Schaumburg area. That would be super. I'd probably move in.
I've been to the Evanston location a few times, and was so relieved to find the perfect fabric for a costume.
I literally looked around the world for this stuff, and when I walked into Vogue...there it was, calling my name.
I think its time I make a trip up there again soon.

Heads up! The Evanston location is having a warehouse sale April 15 - 16 (Friday and Saturday).
The sale is only on bulk fabric by the bolt. Should be nice if you need lots for that fancy dress, or just want to stock up.
Details here: http://www.myvoguefa...ewarehouse.html
I'm gonna check it out, but I can't imagine I need a whole bolt of anything... lol. (Watch me walk away with at least one) XD

The Vogue Fabrics in Evanston, I super super commend. Never ever will go to Joann's again. The quality and quantity of their fabrics, equipment, and customer service is astounding. Any project that needs to be done could definitely be done inside that building
Jacked up 'n' good t'go

I'm deeply heartbroken to announce that their Torrence store has closed its doors.

Never knew about this store but something tells me that after Acen there is going to be a major trip to Evanston for fabric. Plus I have an idea that that bridal lace would be high enough quality for lolita outfits (much better than just having Hancock and JoAnns). Then there is the quilting I keep wanting to do.
