    Try the local "Joann Fabrics" store near you. Most towns have a fabric store, for all the ladies that have to sew their little girls prom dress, etc. Most of these stores will also have materials that work well for marine upholstery. Then there's the shops that do awnings and other heavy commercial sewing work. They will have more choices in fabrics, possibility better prices too. There are also several places on line you can get mail order service from.

    Plus many others I'm sure.
