Repro Depot has some good upholstery fabrics at what I think are reasonable prices.

Try googling around for Amy Butler's "Nigella" upholstery fabric. It can be had for around $15 a yard.

check out ikeas selection...doesn't seem super (debatable) discovered yet, modern, sturdy and definatly on the cheap...just finished a pair of thonet chairs and they look sharp sharp!

Take a look at Tonic Living. http://www.tonicliving.com/index.asp

oh wow, thanks for that tonic living link.

Last month I got 2 pillows from Tonic Living and got excellent service. I just ordered some fabric to frame and turn into art.

I agree with hegiranyc - check out the fabric department at IKEA. often has bolts of patterns you won't see on the furniture but are fantastic.
