Brought my MIL here to check out the Hawaiian print fabrics. The parking was very busy but was able to find a stall. The place was very packed with so many fabric prints, types, sizes. There was only one other customer on the store. A few fun shell leis and quilt bags. We weren't bothered even when my kids were running through the aisles. There is an upstairs to the place too! Wish the parking lot was a little bigger. read more

Fabric Mart - Upholstery - Fabric Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Staff is helpful, lots of beautiful fabric. I was looking for cotton quilting fabric! They had some beautiful Hawaiian fabric at less than half the mainland prices. I spoke to three young men shopping (locals). They all three said they shop there all the time. I showed up a little before 9 am. They didn't open until 9:10 am. But that feels like it's a pretty common practice for the islands. read more

We went to Fabric Mart this weekend to try to do some DIY project on my dining chairs. I was getting irritated at looking at how dirty they were and I kept researching how to reupholster my chairs. Well you can find just about everything on Pinterest so I found the instructions. It looked pretty simple enough. I got the tools from my dad and we had to get the right fabric to cover the chairs with. When I walked into fabric mart I was overwhelmed. Im not a crafty person at all so to walk in a store with so many types of fabric, I was lost. I quickly asked someone and they directed me to upstairs. Upstairs was equally as daunting. I was pretty much just walking around aimlessly. Luckily my husband found a worker that came upstairs. She helped us right away. Luckily for us, the color that matched well was actually on her cutting table. I told her I needed it for six chairs at 24 in by 24 in. I'm really horrible at math so I asked her to calculate how many yards I needed to buy. Thank goodness for her skill, she calculated I needed to buy two yards. I'm so glad that I came to Fabric Mart. They were helpful and the prices were very reasonable. I was looking at other online markets and it was way more per yardagOur chairs are done. Let me tell you, it's not as easy as you may think. But I'm happy of the outcome. read more

I shopped for hawaiian prints that I can't get at home. The staff was helpful and kind. Each fabric cut was carefully folded and treated with care. I asked if shipping was possible for in store purchases, and they cheerfully packaged and labeled everything for shipment to my home in VA. If you sew, you need to stop here and stock up! Did I mention that the prices cannot be beat? read more

Always find exactly the material I need. Helpful clerks. Convenient locations. Reasonable prices.

Unbelievably unfriendly staff here. No greetings when I walked in, and there was no other customer in there on the ground level. I took in fabric with me ( that I had bought there a week earlier) to look for some tassels. Didn't find anything so was heading to the door to leave. I explained to the lady behind the counter that I'd bought the fabric a week earlier ( since she was eyeing my bag with the fabric in it) and was looking for additional things-- she just looked at me like I had 2 heads. No smile, no acknowledgment, just looked at me, and went about her business. Last week , another lady helped me; she was not much better. They have a large selection, but help staff is unacceptable. Obviously, they're not the owners. read more

Went to the town Fabric Mart on a Sunday since June Fabric is closed on Sundays. Fabric Mart has 100% cotton palaka! Cost $7.65 a yard! Just .65 cents a yard more than June Fabric, and you don't have to drive all the way to Kalihi! I noticed the June Fabric palaka is a cotton blend, even though they state it as a "better quality than the others". I want 100% cotton! read more

Huge selection. I like it that they have a good selection of 60" width fabric versus just the normal 45" width. Always come here to get my Hawaiin print fabrics. read more

I was surprised they had several shelves of Japanese prints (most were either $7 and $12/yard, most looked like 100% cotton) on the main floor, in addition to their massive selection of Hawaiian prints. read more

With the high demand of masks right now, many of us are forced to hunt for materials. Fabric, elastic, thread, etc... Not many stores have what we need in stock. Fabric mart has it all, almost. Since the Aiea location had appointments scheduled 3 weeks out, I looked at other locations to see what was available. It wasn't my first choice to travel far, but it was an option so I took it. I had been in desperate need for solids, and this location didn't exactly have what I was looking for... So I kind of just picked up random things that looked nice on the fly. I was really disappointed because, before my appointment date I had called to see if I would be able to purchase a roll of elastic. I was told I could, so I asked if I could pay over the phone at that moment... They said there's enough and to wait for my appointment date. Come day of, policy changed and I was left with 10y of black and 10 y of white. Glad I got any I guess. I had a bunch of requests, but in the 20m I was in there I didn't find much. The store is small and cramped. The employees weren't the most helpful, but I went in there blind so I didn't expect much. I'm sure they are worked to the bone so that can't be helped. Parking is nearby. Looks like there's enough stalls, but I don't know if it's shared with other businesses. With the limited amount of customers and timed appointments, the parking shouldn't be a problem for now. This won't be a location I frequent, being that it's out of the way and not really meeting my needs. I don't always need material so for the time being, the closer location will do. read more

They are now by appointment only and you can schedule online. Hawaiifabricmart.com Town location was the earliest I could find so I scheduled it. Unfortunately this location is VERY unorganized. Poor thing. They are understaffed and undertrained. The phone was obnoxiously annoying. Everyone is trying to call in phone orders and the poor old nana's were doing their best to assist them. Once the 2 customers inside are done, they let in the next appt. When I arrived, they were running over time. I got in and immediately knew what I wanted. You're on your own once you enter. No assistance or customer service. Once you've found all your fabric go to the counter on the first floor to your left and check out. At the register is where they will give you elastic and interfacing. Limit on interfacing. There are two floors to pick fabric. First floor has hawaiian and solid prints in cotton, rayon, polyester, etc. the sign says what it is in its section. Upstairs are the character, NBA, and miscellaneous prints. read more

My first time walking into a fabric store on the island! We were in need of 2.5 yards of Hawaiian printed fabric and this store carried such a nice variety, it actually made it a difficult choice! So, we ended up with two prints at a price of $3.99/yard. Upon entering the store off of Kalākaua Ave, the entire front section was strictly Hawaiian prints in either 100% cotton or 65/35 Poly Cotton blend. I also saw a few rolls of UH logo'd prints and cute Japanese prints off to the side. I didn't venture to the back, but there were definitely plenty more options. The 5ft bolts can be really heavy and the way they were on display made it difficult to grab, but easy to view the prints. Luckily, my +1 was there to assist and grab rolls on the upper tiers. You really need to have some upper body strength! Sadly, service was non-existent. Thought it would be nice if there was someone floating around the floor to assist with pulling fabric or simply to be available for questions. We were there for quite a while and then brought our selections to the cashier's counter to get measured and cut. Service was once again inattentive, which was a bit disappointing. The ladies were chatty amongst themselves. Nevertheless, we found what we were looking for. Parking is available in the lot next door for free. read more

I usually love going to Fabric Mart. They have a great selection and the aunties who work there are usually very nice, helpful, and give you space to find what you need. Unfortunately, I had a really bad experience with one aunty who was working there on Tuesday. She kept following me around and hovering over me as I looked through fabric. It might've been because I'm on crutches, but it felt like she was rushing me so she could go somewhere. After I found the fabric I needed, I asked her how many yards I'd need to make Filipiniana sleeves. She told me "a lot because you're fat". I was really shocked and hurt. I tried to politely tell her that that wasn't nice to say to someone. She just pointed at my shoulders to emphasize her point. I told her that was hurtful and that I'm an average weight. Instead of genuinely apologizing, she pointed to the customer behind me and said "Sorry, the person over THERE is fat". I told her that wasn't nice either and she shouldn't be commenting on anyone's body. She just didn't get it. I don't understand why she felt so comfortable insulting complete strangers who were just trying to shop. The funny thing is we were both similar sizes too..? Lol. I don't want this aunty to get in a lot of trouble, but I do hope that she can learn how to be more kind to others. read more

It's centrally located and has a lot of variety. The prices can be a little high and only some of the sales women are helpful, but I don't buy a lot of fabric so it's a good option and I'll continue to shop here. read more

Visited here while on vacation. Fantastic selection and the prices were great. Half the cost of the mainland.

Had to make a last min Halloween costume so came in after work. Thankfully they were still open. Very large, tons of selection with an upstairs and downstairs. The workers were friendly but since they were so busy because of the Halloween, most of their help was "you can find it upstairs." So it took me some time to figure out where/what I needed. Not sure if the AC is broken but it was kind of hot in there, esp after having to walk up and down stairs trying to find stuff on my own. When I was checking out, the lady told me of a way I could save a few bucks by getting a different similar fabric. I always appreciate when a place helps me to save money! Overall a good experience- nothing fancy but they had what I needed. read more

Great fabric store but they need a Husband Bench so we have somewhere to sit for a long time!

04/24/2020 I love your store and love the selections. But lately there have been no return calls, voicemail box is always full and your email info@hawaiiffabricmart.com is not working (I later discovered it was incorrect). I had three emails set back in error. May I suggest the possibility of sending a USPS tracking number for online orders to help assure that online orders have been processed and being mailed out? Please? Despite the inconvenience I will continue to do business but in person. Peace Out. Keep sewing everyone! Please continue to support our local businesses! read more

Holy mother load! I planned on coming here. I'm a quilter and figured what a better place to shop for fabric for a quilt. This is the best selection I've seen outside of NYC. Best selection and tons of fabric. The ladies were kind and helpful that I dealt with. I also for 2 additional fabrics that inspired a new project and the prices were way cheaper then home even with a coupon! So glad I found this place!!!! read more

Sometimes you have an idea in your head, but you can't find it in the store or online. At other times, you see it, but the price is crazy or unreasonable. If you can make it yourself (or learn), this could be the store for you! There's such a wide variety of fabric here! From velvet to brocade - cotton and knits - Hawaiian, Japanese, and novelty/cartoon themes - almost everything! The selection of accessories is great also - buttons, thread, needles, patterns at a discounted price, zippers, etc. It's overwhelming! LOCATION: There are three Fabric Marts on Oahu. This one is on the right side of Kalakaua Avenue - at the "beginning" of "The Strip of Waikiki", before the Convention Center, Home Bar, and the Kapiolani intersection. There's a free parking lot before the building. Drive slowly and turn right into the lot. Enter the air conditioned warehouse-type shop and remember to look upstairs for MORE stuff! There are remnants at lower prices - they're in rolls on the measuring counter... SERVICE: In my opinion, the staff are quite cheerful and helpful even though it's busy! Because their location is close to Waikiki, customers seem to be from out of state and need guidance. The workers show the Aloha Spirit and give their best advice! My current project involves vinyl - first time! I'm so happy to help my Little Buddy with a home improvement project! Just hoping that the cushions for the bench turn out okay... Cross your fingers for us please! Mahalo! read more

Fabric to the left, fabric to the right. The walls are lined with a ton of fabric! Fabric Mart is a fabric wonderland! Backstory: I had a spontaneous idea one day and bought a tiny sewing machine from Amazon..It's pretty cool, you should get one...The next thing I needed was fabric. Since I was in the area one day, I decided to stop by. To be honest, I felt so clueless and a million questions were running through my head. How did they charge? How do I get it down? What do I do? My million and one questions were answered by their friendly and helpful employees! It made the shopping experience less overwhelming. The prices are also pretty reasonable. Assuming I don't sew my dress shut or screw it up...my dress would be way cheaper than buying it at the store! Fabric Mart is definitely the place to go to if you need stuff for your next sewing project. read more

I've searched the island over for a decorative lace/floral sash and headband to accent a bridesmaid dress only to find extremely overpriced and over-rated accessories. Each time thinking, "I can make that!" Fabric Mart has everything you need to create those overpriced items for a fraction of that over-inflated price. I found rolls of lace in every style, color and size as well as matching satin ribbons or varying widths and colors. I've never been good at math but seeing is believing: - Overpriced sash at a bridal boutique (online or in store): starting at $150.00 & upward. - Overpriced lace headband (online or in store): starting at $75.00 & upward. My price for a yard of lace: $16.00 Satin ribbon: I already had a supply at home. For the price $16.00 I was able to create a sash and headband with left over lace. All it took was a glue gun and a few minutes. I browsed the store over looking for rolls of lace only to find them behind the cutting station in a glass cabinet (I had asked a salesperson and they cheerfully pointed me in the right direction). There's tons of lace, ric-rac, rhinestones, rolls of beads - just about anything you can think of to accessorize and bedazzle an outfit or craft. Customer service was excellent!! There's a private parking on the right side of the store reserved just for Fabric Mart customers too. read more

I stood in line to get inside today (4/3/20), but ended up leaving the line early. Their hours are 9 AM - 4 PM (based on the posted sign and their website), and they allow 6 shoppers inside at a time. The front door was conveniently propped open so you wouldn't have to touch the door handle. Parking lot was full, so I recommend going with one person to stay in the car and one person to wait in line. The line to get inside had about 15-20 people (with about 6 feet between each party), and about 8 people were allowed inside over the course of 30 minutes. They have limits on the amount you can buy of certain items--see their website for the most up-to-date information. Good luck, and stay safe! read more
