Alice Essinger couldn’t find out-of-print fabric she needed for several quilting projects, so she started her own business.

The story of her Bluffton-based business, Fresh Modern Fabric, is more complicated than that, but it’s close.

Essinger operates an Etsy-based fabric business above the Bluffton Karate Center. The shop’s address is 103 ½ Vine St.

Like S'mores? Then you'll love Shirley's Gourmet Popcorn flavor of the month.
