Where do you buy fabric (economically, by the yard)?

[Sparkly]

I'm really missing JoAnne's, not to mention the days when there were various other fabric stores all within easy reach. Like most other things, I'm shopping online. Any recommendations?

At the moment, I'm looking (again for my granddaughter!) for cotton-ish gingham or calico dress material, for her one-year birthday party dress later this month! I'd like to sew a 3-pieced outfit - a puff-sleeved dress, matching bloomers (diaper cover, actually) in a pattern, then a white or solid color pinafore over that.

My daughter had something similar 30+ years ago, but I was buying hand-me-downs from a neighbor Mom in NYCity. (Her two girls were not much older, the clothes were beautiful, she had exquisite taste, and importantly, they were cheap. She said she needed the money because her husband was giving all their savings to Scientology!)

Anyway, I'd love recommendations especially for low-cost fabrics, and/or ones that can be purchased in increments (not whole yards).

Thanks in advance!!
