Love this place. My daughter wanted to get some fabric to make a shirt and she found this place and…read morewanted to go. They have a huge variety of fabrics and you can probably spend a couple of hours looking around and finding different materials. The cost is pretty fair and the employees are so kind and helpful. The lady that helped us both times we went in was so sweet and she even went looking for a specific fabric design we were looking for and eventually found the perfect one. The only downside is parking is atrocious and just be resigned to the fact that you're going to spend $20 at one of the small lots and don't be fooled by the $3 parking because in tiny small print it says the first 15 minutes is $3 with a maximum parking fee for the day is $20.

While in the area might as well check the stores. We went here specifically for fabrics. My son is into sewing right now so this place has a wide selection of different types of fabrics. They also have accessories. Are they cheaper - maybe/ maybe not but my son wanted to see fabrics so that's why we are here. He picked up some items and accessories he needs, we also got a roll of pattern paper and a yard of fabric he will use to "practice with" Service is easy - pick a fabric and bring it to the table and they'll cut it for you. Spent $80 on a bunch of stuff. Let's see if my son actually makes something out of it. He did enjoy looking and browsing over their fabrics and accessories.

I ventured into the Fashion District in LA for the first time last week, completely overwhelmed by…read morethe staggering variety and number of stores selling everything from ready to wear fashion, fashion accessories, fabric and more. I was on a mission to locate sparkly, colorful and fun fabric for my niece's upcoming school production of The Wizard of Oz. I am working my way toward winning the Uncle of the Year award, so it was important I got things right! I crisscrossed my way through the Fashion District by car several times, then parked and dove right in! Honestly, I was very lucky to park near Textiles Alma and stumble into their store first. From the moment I stepped foot in their shop, the entire family made sure I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. They have a wide variety of fabric perfect for interior decorators and designers making tablecloths, chair linings, curtains and drapes. I found satin, chiffon, organza, poplin, sequined fabric, feathered material and so much more. I ended up spending nearly $300 for a giant pile of fabric that filled the trunk of my car. Having priced this fabric elsewhere, I know I could have easily spent double at chain crafting store. The family running the store were incredibly helpful, so friendly, and went above and beyond making sure I left with everthing I needed. The fabric I purchased ranged from $5 a yard, to $20 a yard, and I didn't experience any unnecessary negotiating. Prices weren't marked, but having done my research I felt comfortable with the prices they quoted me. What I love most about this shop is that it's a family-run business. The mother, father and daughter were there to help with every aspect of customer service; locating material, moving bundles around, cutting fabric, and carrying it to my car. I received full-service from the nicest people on the planet. It was helpful I speak a little Spanish, but I noticed there were several english speaking employees available as well. I highly suggest Textiles Alma if you're in the Los Angeles area and need sparkly and fun fabric.

If you're a label whore they have designer fabrics as well...Balenciaga, Versace & lots of designer denim as well. The sales people are all very knowledgeable. Zoey helped me out today. She really knows her stuff and was so informative. She was very patient helping me to decide what textile was best for the project I was working on. She was also super friendly and seemed to like her job a lot. I hope to see her again next time I'm there. They also carry my fav, Liberty, gasp! Their selection is unmatched. You want to be dripping in "diamonds" they have that fabric in MULTIPLE colors. You want Missoni like prints but don't want to pay Missoni $, they have an abundance. If you have all the time in the world, don't mind hopping from shop to shop, paying for expensive parking, and speak multiple languages to be able to communicate, the garment district is your best option. Yes the prices are higher here than the garment district, but you're paying for extreme convenience. Everything is all in one place, parking is plentiful and free , they stay open much later than the garment district, they have a points program, they have free patterns if you sign up for their newsletter. They also have a selection of trims, notions, buttons, and they have a HUGE selection of upholstery fabrics as well. The biggest problem with this shop is that there's TOO MUCH GOOD STUFF!

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.

There are so many beautiful selections at this store, but i feel that the DTLA branch has way more selections than this one. Being that i live so far away and don't go to this area often, i had to pick as many selections as i could. The guys are super, super nice and extremely helpful and patient!! I spent 2 hours (yes, TWO hours) walking around trying to find the perfect selections for my projects and i finally found something i liked. Walked out w almost $400 of fabric, which i ain't trippin bc you can't just find these types of print just about anywhere.
