A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

-Proverbs 31:10-11,30

Where to Buy Fabric-Busan

So far, I only know of one place in Busan where you can find pretty much anything you want. It is the Busan Jin Market. The market is a huge indoor sewer's paradise. 4 floors of fabric, buttons, notions, and a little bit of random. You can find anything your heart desires.

 I've noticed that directions to the place are quite hard to come by on the internet, so here is how I get there.

Take Busan subway line 1 SOUTH towards Hadan.
Get off of the subway at BEOMIL-DONG.
When you arrive, go out exit 1. It will say "Busan Jin Market" in English. Leave through the indicated exit and walk straight. Keep walking until you see a large over-the-street cross walk. The market attaches to the crosswalk. On the outside it will say 부산 진 시장.


Just be careful you don't get lost inside ; )



Edit-
Look! I finally remembered to take a picture when I went. Here is what it will look like after you have walked straight down the street for about 5 minutes.


The first floor has most of the fabric. The upper  level has some craft and jewelry stuff. There is also an embroidery/crosstitch shop on the top level. 
Here are a couple of shots from the inside. 



Be prepared. Nothing is organized. It took me 3 hours to find knits one time after passing the same stalls over and over. 

Have fun!!!
