Wawak Sewing Supplies Co. Catalog
The Wawak Catalog was the brainchild of Frank Wawak early in the 20th century. A professional tailor, Frank, wanted to offer supplies to other tailors. He opened his first store in 1907, serving his neighborhood in Chicago, and later, via a mail-order catalog, to the world.
Since Joann Fabrics closed its doors more than a year ago, I’ve had many requests to share alternative sources.
Many designers are searching for places to pick up all the materials and supplies costumers need to build beautiful handcrafted dancewear.
Wawak carries many of my favorite brands, from cutting tools and pattern-making equipment to small supplies like thimbles, needles, and pins.
Perhaps I’m a little “Old School” and really love having a printed catalog to thumb through. So I recently requested an updated catalog. But you can find all of their tools and supplies on their website.
Follow this link, check out their website. This is not a sponsored advert, just me sharing the source.
Happy Costuming,
