This is a small shop chock full of stuff for crafters. The owner has been there for 35 years and I don't think a lot has changed. It's a small, family-run, local business, so it's much more deserving of our business than Amazon or Michaels. Prices are good, too. I will say this, though. The owner's son is there full-time, so we see him enough. He's always been professional and helpful, just a bit cold. But I just noticed today that he's so warm to virtually everyone else who walks in the door, and has conversations with them! When we walk in, he does not greet us and will not speak to us unless we directly ask him something. We're not loud or demanding, I just get the sense that he does not like us. I still highly recommend this local business. I'm just saying, if you feel a difference in treatment from your fellow shoppers from the son, just know that you are not alone. read more

Lots of fabric, great service and very organized inside. They have a pretty good supply of fabrics, zippers, and whatnot. I parked nearby. There was a free 2 hour public parking lot nearby if you are unable to find street parking right in front. Just keep in mind they will charge .75 for card charges. read more

Went today to get some items I couldn't find at another store. I'm very impressed at the store and the knowledge the owner has about sewing. The service is top notch. The items I needed are hard to find items but he had. Plus he was able to help explain other options to complete my project. Can't want to go back and start another project. read more

They have a huge variety of style, colors, designs, themes, etc. Parking is a little hard because it's on a fast street but there is front of the store parking available. read more

This is a awesome family own fabric store! I'v been to Joann in Whittier. Nothing to compare! Let me tell you this place has everything, I believe I like it even more because they are very organized and clean. That's a major plus for me. You can see clearly what your looking for and ask any questions with with great customer service. Which is amazing, the owner is a sweet lady along with her helping son and daughter. Prices are very reasonable unlike other fabric stores. Thank you for making my experience very well worth! It makes me come back every time instead of making a trip to downtown LA! read more

I just realized this store is in my neighborhood. They have a good selection of fabrics, trims, elastics. The lady is very helpful and friendly. They also have a $2 bin where they have odds and ends of fabrics. read more

They had such beautiful fabrics and of many different styles. It's VERY organized and the people are nice.

I have never been to a fabric store in my life and I came here in desperation needing to find a fabric to match my bridesmaid dress that needs to be altered. It is a scary experience for me because I've never had a dress altered in my life.. anyways, the lady working at the store was so kind and so helpful, I was amazed at her patience and gentleness with me. There are soo many different fabrics in there-wow! I will definitely return to and recommend this store and remember her kindness. read more

Didn't realized this place was here until pandemic. Looking for elastic for mask making, the ladies were very nice and willing to help. read more

Big selection, clean and organized. Competitive prices. Very helpful and knowledgeable owners.

This place doesn't have an insanely large selection of cotton fabrics to choose from, but they've got a decent size. And they're great fabrics. Nothing too tacky, and you'd find something to use on any of their projects. They've got a selection of silk/satin/fleece fabrics, however, I didn't look at those. They sell their thread at an incredibly affordable price. And the prices on fabric are amazing as well. I think I may have found a favorite store. read more

Amazing. Staff very helpful... been coming here since i was in elementary for projects, now i come her for fabrics for sewing projects. Pretty good selection of fabrics, well priced. Staff is willing to answer any questions with a smile and are very helpful. Love coming here :) read more

Great little gem in my neighborhood! This store was literally in my back door and I didn't know it. It's like a mini Michael's for sewing, crochet, and arts and crafts. A lady teaches ribbon embroidery on Fridays from 11 - 1. We pay $5. Other classes such as knitting and crochet are also offered during the week. Great place to relax atleast once a week. The only thing is that class are in Spanish but it's ok anyone can understand demonstrations. read more

This a a great fabric store. Super well organized. Amazing collection of Alexander Henry fabric! The owner is very friendly and helpful. I'll be coming back again soon. read more

This place is a go-to! There's so much to look at from fabric to ribbon to tools you might need for crafting and creating. I recommend! Prices are reasonable as well read more

Interfacing Rick rack notions. Lower quality fabrics. Helpful and very sweet Service. Kind of a hidden in plain site place. The fabrics are lower quality and wrapped in plastic so it looks like they don't sell much. The Rick rack is priced from the 90s $1.50 a pack. Great selection of notions like I haven't seen in years. Weird vibe. Like there is something else going on there. read more

This is my childhood fabric store. My mom's a teacher so she always came here for her glue sticks, felt, fabrics, and whatnot. This place isn't any Jo Ann's size, just the basics in a small store. The ladies here are nice and helpful. If you need a seamstress they can recommend some to you. They have a discount bin in the back that I love to look through. I think they're $2.00/yd fabrics. read more

I enjoy patronizing small / main street businesses because 1) it keeps the town alive; 2) the owners & staff usually know their stuff; 3) you usually get a level of customer service you don't get in big box or chain stores. That being said, I extremely disappointed in a recent purchase made in this store. I went in asking for strap material to replace a handstrap on a backpack. They pulled what they stated was replacement strapping, so I requested a yard. I finally got around to replacing the strap on the backpack & used the viable ends of the original strap to anchor the replacement to. I was in shock that by the end of the same day the replacement strapping was already shredded and ready to break! read more

Cute fabric and yarn store that's got an amazing selection and supply despite its relatively small size. Well organized so you can find what you need relatively quickly yet so many cute things to browse through and get creative. Lots of people there buying stuff for Halloween costumes. We popped in just before closing but the store stayed opened to help the many customers that were still there. There was only one salesperson and she was very patient and helpful despite the number of customers. I imagine if I were in a rush, I might've had a different perspective. I'd definitely go again and given the convenient location and prefer this to something like Joanne's Fabrics or Michael's. read more

My little go to fabric store ... this store has a little bit of everything I stop here whenever I don't feel like driving to Joan's or Hobby Lobby ... I've found a few fabric bolts that are out of circulation and hard to find .. it's the mom and pop store for fabric and notions read more

So first off: The owner man is the sweetest ever! Very courteous and was able to help me find any print I was interested in. The prices are about the same you would find at Joann's ($12/yard for cotton) which is pricy compared to the surrounding shops, but the prints they have are beautiful, prints you wouldn't find at chain stores. You definitely can't beat the customer service and selection. read more

These guys are amazing ! So helpful and nice! The store includes a wide variety of different fabrics to choose from as well as basic sewing supplies and trims. I highly recommend. Better than most fabric stores in downtown LA read more

Small neighborhood store. Good selection for the size of the store. Prices are good! I actually a nicer and better selection of fabrics and at a better price than at the "big name" fabric store. read more

They have a lot of variety of fabric prints & it's very inexpensive & customer service is great (:

I love this place. I've been coming here for years. They are always so nice and have everything I need. If they don't have something they will call there other location and offer to bring it to this one. I've made so many things for both my kids and for myself and my husband. This is my first stop for all things fabric. read more
