The online fabric store, Fabritopia, is run by Jona G., who also writes the delightful blog, “Stop Staring and Start Sewing!”

Fabritopia offers a multitude of sewing patterns, and Jona G. is designing patterns herself now, which you can download from the store site.  She also offers free pattern downloads, sewing kits and, best of all PRE-CUTS! 

Her inventory is carefully curated, and she has fabric from several of today’s most popular designers.  She doesn’t always carry an entire collection, but her selection of a collection is nicely managed.  For instance, you can’t get the entire Anna Maria Voile collection, but you can get a few choice pieces that complement one another.
