It’s official! Fashionable Fabrics is under new ownership!
Hello, My name is Tonia and I am the proud new owner of Fashionable Fabrics! First, I would like to thank Leslee for this incredible opportunity to take ownership of such a wonderful site. I was a previous customer that valued Leslee’s low prices and wonderful selection of beautiful and unique fabrics. Leslee always took care of her customer’s needs. She valued our comments and feedback, had fast deliveries and great customer service. I plan to expand on what Leslee created and offer the same great service and low prices.
Like most of you, I am a sewer/ quilter/ crafter. I have a passion for fabric and this opportunity is a dream come true! I’m excited to pour my creative talents into making this site an enjoyable place to find the most unique fabric and patterns at the lowest prices available. I plan on using your feedback to make this your favorite site to shop!
Thank you for the privilege of serving your sewing needs!

Bunbury Fabrics
Think of us as your friendly local quilt shop, but online. Our carefully curated collection of designer fabrics, notions, and patterns has been handpicked by a fellow sewing enthusiast who shares your passion for creating.
Our journey began as Fashionable Fabrics, and we’ve grown over the years thanks to the wonderful support of loyal customers like you. Inspired by the vibrant, creative spirit of our community, we eventually renamed our store Bunbury. The name comes from Oscar Wilde’s 1895 play The Importance of Being Earnest, where the lead character invents a friend named Bunbury to escape obligations. After all, who wouldn’t rather be sewing?
Our Story
Sewing and fabrics have always been close to my heart. As a young girl, I cherished the quilts, crocheted afghans, and dresses my grandmother and mother lovingly made for me—handmade treasures that hold immense value because of the love and care that went into them.
This connection to sewing became even more profound when our first child, Ellie, was born prematurely at just 24 weeks. Although her time with us was heartbreakingly brief, the hospital gave us a handmade dress, hat, and blanket for her—a simple but incredibly touching gesture that touched my husband and me deeply. Since then, sewing has taken on a deeper meaning for me. What started as a form of therapy has become a love language. I find joy in creating handmade gifts, especially for those who need a little extra comfort.
Building Bunbury with my husband—my high school sweetheart and partner in everything—has been a dream come true. It allows me to share my passion for sewing with a community of makers who understand the joy of creating something meaningful with their hands.
