    Phone # 415 221-4111

    Outrageous Bargains, yeah but don't go here looking for anything specific because you won't find it. However if your just want to look and feel this is the place, small and cramped but fun. Fabric in the window is usually $1 to $2 a yard, again beware its weird stuff, stretchy polyesters sheer, right off the back of the truck, stuff you may or may not want to know the fiber content. They don't use yard stick to measure so you get a good "yard" for the price.
