Re: Finding Fabric Shops in Paris

There are many more shops in Paris .
What about Sevilla 38 rue de L'annonciation Paris 16
De Gilles 156 rue de la roquette Paris 11
Dam Boutons 46 rue d'Orsel huge range of buttons

And many more .....

Not to be missed in the Flea Market:
Chez Sarah in Le Passage for haberdashery and stunning vintage gowns
La trouvaille nearby for trims and leather

Also why not have coffee in a sewing cafe ?
Brin de Coussette 2 rue Richard Lenoir Paris 11
Petits points Parisiens 24 rue Veron Paris 18
