Ever since I started coming to Gettysburg with a group called The Ladies of Living History, I have known about this wonderful fabric shop. For re-enactors this shop is a real find. There are hundreds of bolts of reproduction period fabrics to make clothing from the early 1800's through the Civil War period.
These fabrics also make wonderful quilts, and they have the extra wide fabric for the backing on quilts. And, if you have a hard time matching or selecting fabrics for a quilt, they have bundeled fabrics to make a quilt top. They even ship if you find that you did not buy enough of something while in the shop.
They also carry a lot of other things needed for recreating period attire, like the proper buttons, hook tape, stays, corset fabric, trims and wool edging for the bottom of dresses.
Unlike most modern fabric shops, this one has an extensive selection of light weight and heavy weight wools for making capes, great coats, etc.
If you're in this area, you can find this shop just a few miles outside of Gettysburg on Route 16 going toward Fairfield.
