Sew What Fabrics was opened by Carol Britt in 1982 in Wytheville, Virginia. Through the 80s and 90s, Sew What Fabrics was known for unusual fabrics, lots of batiks, and excellence in customer service.
Batiks Etcetera was started by Jan Smiley in 1994 out of pure passion for these wonderful, hand-batiked, hand-dyed, and hand-woven fabrics. Although a dedicated and well-traveled shopper could find a few batiks at many different locations, Jan was frustrated that no one source stocked all the designs in all of the available colors.
Batiks Etcetera outgrew Jan's home and was sold to Carol Britt of Sew What Fabrics in 1999. Carol added Batiks Etcetera to her already thriving store.
Many people are surprised to find such a broad selection of quilting supplies and fabric when they visit Batiks Etcetera & Sew What Fabrics.
