Where do you guys like to buy your fabrics for making your own gear? My wife and I are starting to make some of our own stuff.
I'm interested in nylon like the kind Montbell uses in their windproof garments, sil-nylon or fabric for making packs, nice stretchy poly/spandex blends for base layers.

http://www.questoutfitters.com/ is similar but I've never used it, just looked at their site
http://thru-hiker.com/materials/index.php has some state of the art materials at a little high prices, never used them though
http://www.seattlefabrics.com/ a little more expensive but they have some stuff that others don't, like polyester spinnaker fabric
just noticed you're in Western Washington, Seattle Fabric has a nice store in Seattle.
