Saw this on the news last night....logged on today to find that the fire had re-ignited overnight and there is literally nothing but a portion of a shell left.
I've been to Sir's irregularly...it is a 45-minute to an hour drive away...and the stock varied greatly; one visit would yield very little worth bringing home while a visit in 2007 saw me hauling home nearly 50 yards of deals; a good bit of which is still in the bins. It was THE place to go to find costuming fabric; especially after the deterioration of the fabric department at Wal-Mart.
It was a place that still SMELLED like I remember fabric stores smelling as a kid. The good ones. With real fabric.
It was a family business; who knows if they'll try to rebuild/restock.
I can hope, but given the current status of the retail fabric business...I fear they're gone for good.
Glad I have a stash....
Sorry to hear about this, missed it on the news.
