Stoffe Markt Kaiserslautern

Fabric is very expensive here in Germany so whenever I hear about a Stoffe Markt (Fabric Market) I do my best to go and buy some fabric at cheaper prices. Here is a link to the one I went to this week so you can keep an eye out for the next one coming up. 

Tips for the Stoffe Markt

-Be sure to do a lap before buying. Many vendors had the same prints but prices varied. One print I bought was 12€ a meter. A few vendors down, I saw the same print for 9€

-Bring cash

-Go early! I got there right when they opened and no one was there. About 15 minutes later it started to get busy and 30 minutes later it was crazy packed!

-Bring a bag to carry your new fabric

-Know some German
