I went in looking for a specific fabric. They were extremely helpful and found me what I needed. Love this place and the staff.

My first and last time at this place! I spent $105 on three pair of pants at this place. Two of the pants are completely ruined. The first time I picked up the pants (it took 12 business days), they did not fit correctly. They told me to bring in a pair of jeans that fit perfect, so they could have a guide. I did that. The 2nd time I went in to pick up the pants are shown in the pictures. I called & let them know the pants still don't fit. They said the "guide" jeans I brought in were a completely different fit and didn't help. I said, "Well why didn't you call and tell me that? I could have brought different jeans for you." I asked multiple times if I could bring in the jeans to show them the poor alternations or send in pictures, so they could see. The guy said, "I don't see how that's going to help because we altered the jeans based on how you said you wanted them." I would never ask for my jeans to be altered in the way they are shown in the picture! They don't even fit! The seams don't line up. After some back and forth, he offered me a partial refund. I can't even take these jeans to another tailor because they are so tight due to so many alterations! I have to throw them away! The guy only offered me a FULL refund after I said I would post the pictures in a review! Then he tried to guilt trip me into not posting a review. Insane! Absolutely, terrible customer service. I'll never return! Do not bring your garments here! read more

I was in a time crunch this week to have a dress altered for a wedding this weekend, and desperately needed to match a tricky green/gold/ochre tone to make straps. All three employees there (two guys and a girl, sorry I didn't get your names!) stopped to help me find the exact perfect fabric with just a photo of the dress fabric on my phone, and were so sweet about it. I was in and out in under ten minutes with exactly what I needed. My new favorite place :) read more

I love this place. Every time I go in, the staff is so helpful and friendly. They are also very knowledgable. It reminds me of a small town local business. I also always find exactly what I'm looking for. read more

I've been wanting to check out this place since I moved back to LA since it would be awesome to have a good fabric store near by. I was not disappointed. This place has a decent amount of fabric, friendly staff, and the prices seemed alright too. There are a lot of cool add-ons and trimmings you can get for your garments that have sequins and flowers and leather. The selection might not be as good as Mood over on La Cienega but for a store nearby with decent prices, this place can't be beat - and it feels like a *real* fabric store, not some hobby shop with a fabric section. I'll definitely be back here. Also, they advertise outside that they offer sewing classes (but I haven't looked into it, myself). read more

Fabric Planet - the outside of the shop - Fabric Stores Near Me - Venice, California

Fabric planet is my go to place for fabric. Everyone there is so nice, they have so many options, and they also have a HUGE array of fabrics. It's really cool! read more

Great shop! Good variety of fabrics But One person working there wears a mask, one does not. That made me uncomfortable. For that reason, I won't be going back until the pandemic is over :/ read more

Fabric Planet fits it's name and image precisely as the store contains a wide variety of fabrics which includes a striking array of organic fabrics. In addition to that there is a delightful eco-friendly feeling to the place as there's flood of natural lighting, enough space in the store to navigate a stroller, and they use recycled fabric for a bag. This is a pleasantly striking contrast to the dreary run of the mill fabric store *cough*joannes*cough* and to the post apocalyptic disaster area they call a fabric store up the street. I am actually impressed by how highly organized and how easy it is to navigate the store and with how attentive and helpful staff are. This is the fabric store I've been looking for! read more

This is the place to go if you need something tailored correctly and perfectly. It's not the dry cleaners. It's for your high end stuff and your imagination. They even sewed fairy lights onto a ball gown for my daughter. And the best part is the people are friendly and professional. read more

Excellent selection and super friendly service. They also do wonderful custom sewing jobs. I had a cushion and slip cover made and they came out great. More importantly, I'm a bit of a pain in the A and they were nothing but polite and professional every step of the way. Highly recommend and looking forward to going back. Thanks! read more

Love this place.... & Jacob, he's always a good vibe, & ready to help! Stop by when you can!

Worst service! Was told that I was "rude" because I was demanding they stop putting me on hold after the 8th time on hold. The couldn't locate my order that I PAID for, by my invoice number nor my telephone number nor my name!!!! They told me they are "doing a favor" by looking for my paid order!!!! And that I "wasn't being nice,". Of course I wouldn't be nice if you told me there's no record of my PAID order by name or by invoice ? Horrible rude entitled staff with poor customer service! you're better going to other competitors. These stores are a dime of dozen don't waste your time driving on heavy traffic on Lincoln. You will walk out unsatisfied and left with a bad taste in your mouth from the experience. read more

Venice locals love Fabric Planet. They are friendly. I also use them for sewing and upholstery projects. They deliver on time and with the project how asked for it. read more

This place seemed like a higher end fabric store, so I went here for wedding material. They have a really nice selection of unique material. It's a little more expensive than the store I normally go to in Hawthorne, but its worth it because everything is organized and easy to find. The service is great. Other stores, I find myself wondering looking for help for like an hour, they make it easy to get in and out. You leave happy. They put my material in a huge piece of fabric they made into a tote. I could be wrong, but I thought I heard them mentioned on RuPauls Drag Race, so thats exciting. The only reason I don't come here more often is because the traffic on Venice is bad in the evenings. read more

Thank Fabric Planet for helping make my son's Halloween costume this year! Your staff and team are so lovely and helpful. My son's costume, which was some obscure anime character came out so GREAT! Everyone loved it as did he! Thank you for the excellent service and great prices! read more

Fabric Planet - Thanks Fabric Planet for making Yugo for my son's Halloween costume!! Amazing! - Fabric Stores Near Me - Venice, California

We were out-of-town customers & so happy to find this place! The staff was friendly & helpful. The fabric was good quality, at reasonable (not cheap) prices. Lots of beautiful silk, knits & home decor fabrics, in addition to trims & elastic. I will definitely stop by again when in town. read more

Jacob and the team are always amazing. I designed many costumes for Ballet and when working on the Nutcracker I had to go in at least 10 times to get needed items. Every time the service was amazing. I would recommend anyone to shop here (and the dog is a cutie too!) read more

Great selection of fabric and outstanding service! I shop here for unique fabric when i dont have time to go downtown. Very helpful and fast service. It was sorta like being in an old bookstore but it was fabric in so many colors, textures and prints. Fun time on a rainy day! Oh, they had a cute little puppy as a mascot & he tried to help too! "Woof-Woof", said the little dog!!! read more

I have worked with Fabric Planet on several projects for my business and I've never had anything but a great experience. They have gone through each step of the pattern making process with me, taking my feedback along the way and creating a final product that is valuable and beautiful. The pieces they have made for my business, consistently sell out and I get only good feedback from my customers. The quality of the fabric they use is excellent and so is there work process. Of course in Los Angeles there are thousands of pattern makers and sewers, but I have found that working with Fabric Planet is the most efficient and effective while being consistently great quality. read more

I love Fabric Planet! Carlos and team are the best. They gave me a very competitive price for my patio cushions and produced in 1 week. They have many fabric selections and if they don't have it they can tell where to find it. I'm all ready for my party! Thanks all read more

I walked out of the store exclaiming, "I LOVE this place!" On a bridesmaid mission to track down some tulle and burlap trim to decorate for my bestie's wedding I originally planned on just hitting up Joan's but my Yelp App showed me this treasure was right down the street from my gym. I walked into a maze of fabric bolts. I felt a bit dazed but an employee immediately saw my look of distress and came to my rescue. She directed me to the bolts of tulle at the front of the store ($1/yard, what a steal!) and then to the massive wall of trim. No burlap ribbon but I did find several good options in the color I needed and settled on a trim that was also super inexpensive at only 50cents/yard. Everything was bundled up for me to go in a handmade green jersey fabric tote bag. She made it right there in front of me! It's not anything fancy but I was incredibly excited about this and will be reusing the bag for things like laundry or the beach. Private parking lot and nearby free street parking. You will not have a problem finding parking here. There's also a very cool wall mural on the side of their building that would be a great photo shoot spot. read more

I purchased blackout fabric from Fabric Planet. The fabric did not perform as advertised: It let light through. I had to go to Pavilion Fabric (on Pico), who sold me some stellar blackout fabric that did the trick. I returned the faulty fabric to Fabric Planet, and was not refunded (i had spent $170). I was referred to the owner to discuss the matter further. He did not reply to my emails. When I finally managed to get hold of him (by phone), he refused to refund me, called me "entitled", and ultimately hung up the phone on me. Would never go back. read more

I love this place, the people are very helpful and get to you quickly to help you and that's now during COVID 19. They rock.. The store is very convenient to where I live. So close, no lines. read more

Went in there on Friday. Surprised they were even open during this pandemic. Are they an 'essential' store? Anyhow, I looked around for awhile. No one offered me any help, so I got in line at the counter behind a woman who was being helped. The man helping her stopped and gave me a dirty look. He said 'Can I help you?, very rudely. I said 'yes, I want to buy some material' I was shocked by how rude and abrupt he was. He got my material, rang it up and walked away. I didn't even know he was finished with me until I saw he helping someone else. No receipt, no 'thank you'. When I got home I unfolded my material. One of the piece was supposed to be 1/2 a yard. Instead of a rectangle piece of material, it was a triangle, 20" at one end and 12" at the other. Over priced, poor customer service, rip off. Never again. read more

This is the coolest little shop! It has sort of a Greenwich Village feel to it. I've passed by it so many times and never even noticed it until I found it on Yelp. I was in a pinch on a Sunday. Jo-Ann's and Michael's didn't have what I needed but Fabric Planet did, and at a very reasonable price. This has happened more than once. They always have what I want. I usually go in and out in a rush. But one day I'm going to take the time to linger and look at the cool accessories and embellishments they have at the counter. I must mention that the salespeople are really nice and helpful and were actually excited when I told them I read good reviews about them on Yelp. read more

Great for odds and ends. Zippers for $1. But 5 bucks a yard for plain, solid cotton--Fabric Planet gives me pause. I get it, you people love Fabric Planet. I'm not in love with it. That's fine. I don't get the popular fascination with Nutella and bacon. That's cool. Keep what you love. But the prices people seem willing to pay for both is bewildering. That's Fabric Planet. 11 miles east of this very location is Los Angeles's vibrant--and I will note--affordable fabric district. I found the same 100% cotton, light blue for $2.50 a yard. No haggling. I did buy a zipper and some pretty buttons though. On the cheap. Important note, they don't carry patterns. Not a big deal: the name on the building says "Fabric Planet," not Joann's Fabrics & Crafts". Just look through the McCall's books and order the pattern online for 1/3rd the price. If you do that sort of thing. read more

It was a little bit tricky to initially navigate the store, but the employees were all pretty helpful. I let them know early that I'll be attempting to make a Halloween costume for my son for the first time and they helped me find what I needed. I can't say I've been to other shops before so I can't compare prices/inventory etc, but we got what we needed. Wish me luck! Hopefully we'll be able to make a Luke Skywalker costume reasonably well by Halloween! read more

Unfortunately this is not covid related. I wish it were just a slow time to get things done with a superior product but that was not the case. We worked with both Jacob and Renata to construct a sample for our brand. I am writing this to warn people who are starting out with their brand or someone looking to have a special piece made, do not waste your time or money. They outsource their pattern making and are terrible at communication. They also are condescending and hand you a product that looks like a person that just started constructing patterns. Paying over 1500 for a pattern and two constructed samples is absurd especially when you are a startup fashion company. In the time they made our product I had four other protos made patterned with amazing communication for about 1/8 of the cost. Do yourself a favor and go down to the fashion district and ask around for referrals. Luckily I can just write this off as a loss. read more

They don't know how to hem a curtain. Just sewed up where I pinned it 6 inches from the bottom and this stitches were coming out already as I was taking it out of the shop And I had a set made and you could see the backing sticking out 2 inches from the bottom read more

It's a hot mess in there. Nice people, but I need the stuff organized. I can't be digging through rolls and rolls. Probably good prices, but I couldn't stand it in there. Had to get out read more

A bit on the expensive side and a little discombobulated store but strangely warm and enjoyable to be in. (Shrug) Bought leather and some string. Helpful peeps. Parking is what you would expect from a store in Venice. read more

The ladies who work here are very nice as well as helpful. Now that Lincoln Fabrics has closed, its the most convenient fabric store in the area. The selection isn't bad. However, they are a bit pricier than I would like. But if you're in a rush and don't have time to head downtown or out of the area, you will probably be able to find what you're looking for. read more

I can't really comment on the thoroughness of this review, but I really enjoyed this place. I stop in fabric stores a lot and look forward to those that are trying something different. I think I liked the bit of chaos about the place (will try to post a photo for reference), but the woman at the counter was super mellow, and very helpful. The upholstery material is what I had my eye on, they had some outdoor options as well. All the upholstery I was pulling out seemed to be in the $20/yard range but of course there were some more, or less. They had one section of silks (I don't mean upholstery here). Looked like they had some interesting buttons, and a whole wall of ribbon-y sundry things, some foam for cushions, etc. read more

Fabric Planet - More chaotic than JoAnn's but interesting variety and just a compact space. Nice people. - Fabric Stores Near Me - Venice, California

I would give them no stars if I could. Stopped in yesterday for the first time. A women was trying to buy fabric to make a ring barriers pillow. The bride screwed up and forgot to get one. This family member was trying to solve a problem the day of the wedding. This shop had a seamstress on site and she wouldn't help. They have sewing machines they rent by the hour. I asked what it would cost for 10 mins. $25.00!!!! Unwilling to help, I got fabric a small handful of stuffing lace a button needle and thread in less than 10 minutes I hand sewed her a sweet little ring barrier pillow. I will NEVER go into this store ever again!!!! Neighborhood shop that is not very neighborly. I'm just glad I could help make her wedding day a little more perfect. read more

Helpful and friendly. Nice selection. They will pull anything you'd like to see. Prices are reasonable and they're knowledgeable of their products. read more

Amazing store - so glad I gave it a chance! They have fabulous notions, grouped by color and style, as well as professional-level appliques and unusual trims. Prices were fair and competitive, and the staff knew their merchandise very well. I will definitely be back here and am glad I gave it a chance. Go when you have time to browse and take in the variety of items. It's a bit like a trip to Pier One or World Market - things are nicely merchandised and attractively displayed. You won't be disappointed. This is my new go-to source for everything related to textiles. One caveat - this is not a craft store, nor a Michaels/Joanne Fabrics kind of fabric and notions store. No puffy glue. No bead looms or plastic storage bins. Just lots of high-quality (industrial/professional) fabrics and trimmings (and related supplies) at very fair prices for the area. read more

I like this place and have used it many times. I walked in today and was immediately greeted by an employee not wearing a mask and not practicing social distancing. As a healthcare worker I take masking and distancing very seriously. This was both disappointing and disrespectful. I won't be back. read more

Such a delightful surprise! Found them on Google they were the 3rd fabric store I called, they had what I need and even offered alteration service which was amazing. Carlos was so kind and professional, he found the best match of fabric to my dress, then gave me a very good price for the alterations I needed and for the fabric as well. The Taylor named Isidro was so professional and accommodating and really cared about his work. He offered different solutions so my dress won't look like it was alerted and it came out great, I'm so happy I found them. Thanks guys you're awesome read more
