There are two fabric stores on Clement Street in the Richmond district of San Francisco that are worth the trip. The most notable one is Satin Moon Fabrics which has been around for years and is well loved by local couture designers. The two sisters who run the store are very gracious and are always happy to assist customers with every detail. While their inventory is limited, all the fabrics are hand-picked for quality and uniqueness. Some really gorgeous stuff, but pricey.
Across the street (on the corner of 2nd Avenue/Clement) you'll find Fabrix. This shop is the exact opposite of Satin Moon in terms of quality, but every now and then if you look hard enough you'll find something nice. I was there the other day and picked up a wonderful wool/poly gabardine in a seafoam green for $3.99 a yard. It passed the crush test with flying colors and looks quite expensive. I am now going through my pattern collection in search of the perfect pattern for this fabric. I'm thinking a suit at this point.
