I will continuously update this list. If you have any suggestions or additions, please let me know by commenting.
LINEN:
Linnet (PayPal) $29 per half-yard for most linen. This is a Japanese business; I've linked to the English website. I LOVE to look, but its a bit too pricey for me. They have a beautiful selection of every kind of linen fabric, trim, and notions I can think of. Fabrics in a variety of weights. I love the simplicity of this site and its fabrics.
fabrics-store.com (PayPal) $5-$9 per yard. Solids and yarn-dyed. Pure linen, linen/cotton blends in a number of thicknesses.
trimfabric.com (PayPal) $5-$20 per yard. The ~$5 per yard linen is a blend of Linen/Rayon/Polyester; $10 per yard for pure linen; Above
$10 for Italian or Import Linen. They even have cotton/linen jersey.

From England, some of the finest cotton available in beautifully stunning prints. I don't know of many places in the states that carry it, but you can get it both in the brick and mortor store and online at Purl Soho.

A Japanese zakka designer, he has the cutest line of cotton fabrics (and almost everything else from table wear to aluminum bottles) bearing his illustrations. His designs come in cotton cloth, laminated, knit, canvas, and quilted yardage. He also has a line of fabric tape. Some fabrics and a good selection of linen tape available SuperBuzzy. You can also check various sellers on Etsy by typing in Shinzi Katoh as a key word.
ORGANICS:
Near Sea Naturals (PayPal) $11-$114 per yard. This is another store I wish I could afford. They've got a wide selection of cotton, wool, and natural blends in knits and wovens and in several weights. They also have organic elastic banding, trims, lace, and yarn.

Isn't Linnet fantastic? But I agree, a bit out of my range.
http://fabrictales.com/ is wonderful for Japanese fabric. It's based in Japan, but it takes Paypal and their shipping rates are great.
If you live near a Joann Fabrics, they have expanded their linen selections. They now have about 12 different types of 100 % linen, both solid and striped, as well as 3 or 4 linen/cotton blend prints. And Joann.com offers a tissue linen that's very nice, it's 7.99 a yard but occasionally goes on sale.
