Blank's is a large store with a selection to match. Pennsylvania Fabrics has unusual leftover-type fabrics at good prices. Stitching Post has stitchery and notions supplies.

As Lisa Ashton mentioned in her article, the magazine No Quarter Given is an excellent source of costuming information for Bucconeer members wishing to create their own pirate garb. Their home page at www.discover.net/~nqgiven/ has many links to pirate information and paraphernalia. – Ed.
