Aulani day trip to Dole ?s

[heybets30]

So thanks to evil Instagram, someone posted images of the gift shop at the Dole Plantation taken last week. There were about 10 adorable fabrics to buy by the yard. Questions:
1. Anyone know how much per yard? I'm thinking a souvenir I could make with fabric would be fun.
2. Anyone know if this fabric is available elsewhere? Or is it Dole- specific?
Thanks

We went yesterday - the fabrics were 8.99 per yard and they were really pretty. I did not get close enough to see the selvage printing and find out whether they are custom for Dole.

If you are going to Diamond Head, there is a great little fabric store near there that has wonderful prints, in both poly/cotton ($3.99/yd) and 100% cotton ($4.99/yd), that are made in Hawaii. Hawaiian Fabric, 3207 Martha Street (http://www.wholesalehawaiianfabric.com). They also have strip quilt kits and fat quarters, and do custom Aloha shirts (current wait is 2-3 weeks; Dave the owner said they're working on a huge order right now). Parking is by chance, as there are only four spaces in front of the store, but you can find street parking if you don't mind a bit of a walk.

Awesome info!! Thanks, SoozCruise!! I can't wait to check it out. Probably no time to go to one by Diamond Head, but it'll just mean "next trip"!!! I'm thinking of making pencil cases or glasses holders for the kids as a unique souvenir.
