Absolutely love this store. Plan on spending a good hour just looking through all the material,…read morelace, and trims they have. When I first arrived there was a super long line just to get fabric cut. I decided to shop for a while until there were only two people in line. They are really good at getting everyone through as quick as possible and had over 6 people just cutting yardage. After you get your fabric cut, you go to a second line to pay, but I only waited about 2 minutes. I guess just timed it right. HINT: they have the full price fabric up by the front door. Skip that and head to the piles of fabric towards the side and back of the store. The only thing I couldn't find there was on brand fabrics like Hello Kitty and the Nightmare Before Christmas. As if their prices weren't low enough, they have a bargain area in the back of the store with even lower prices and other specialty materials like vinyl. Plenty of parking as well.

The store has a wide selection of fabrics and it can be a bit overwhelming, but with patience you will surprise yourself with your findings. And if you're looking for something in particular do ask the store staff - everyone I talked to was very friendly and helpful. Though no place will replace Joann's this place comes close.

This is a small shop chock full of stuff for crafters. The owner has been there for 35 years and I…read moredon'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.

One of the best go to location for wholesale fabric, spools of ribbon, party /special occasion…read moresupplies store. I have been coming to FB since the 90s. Everything here is reasonably priced & affordable. Pretty much all of my special occasions always had something from Fabric Barn. I have purchased 100s of spools of ribbons, personalized ribbons, baby shower favors supplies, party supplies, bags, round mirrors for centerpieces, wedding accessories including my veil and (believe it or not) my wedding dress. Service is hit & miss. Depending on the clientele & how busy it is, you may get helped quickly or you have to wait until the ladies finish chatting with coworkers or clienteles. Parking is tight on weekends but the flow of customers coming and going out of FB has never made me drive around the block more than once or twice. Because FB has always had what I needed. I have never been to go downtown to the Garment District. I have been living in SoCal for 33 years! Check them out!

Missing Joan Fabrics? This is your place!…read more My partner wanted to pick up some fabric and thread. Almost all of the stores have faded away in favor of Amazon/ online. To me this was a memory of being out with my mom in the old days before Bezos. All sorts of little party favors and decorations. We walked out with thread, cloth and Mardi Gras decorations. Great service and I don't think the prices were too bad. All that was missing was mothball smells. Long Beach parking on the street, maybe a quick park by the bank across the street. ****There's a few spaces off the alley in back.

Influenced by LA Finch Fabrics to make sewing my entire personality…read more I've had a strong desire to learn how to sew this year, mainly to thrift flip and craft one-of-a-kind pieces. This led to me spending way too much time and money at LA Finch Fabrics on a random Saturday. This sewing based brick and mortar is 50/50 LA Finch and Sewing Lab. LA Finch specializes in all things sewing, selling all the necessities, quirky accessories, and a huge variety of fabrics for any project. I grabbed a new pair of sewing scissors, a rolling blade, and a grid cutting mat. Sewing Lab offers weekly classes for beginners and specialty classes for those looking to further their craft. They even host a monthly sewing club?! Such a fun idea for building community within the creative space. The perfect spot for all your sewing needs. LA Finch Fabrics over Amazon. All day, every day.

My wife was upset with the closing of JoAnne Fabric stores and was looking for new places to find…read morefabrics. I saw a review by Yelp CM Hayley H. about this place and told my wife about it. The next thing I knew I was forced into the car and found myself driving her to Los Alamitos. The store is actually a combination of two businesses; the LA Finch Fabrics store and also a sewing school called Sewing Lab, which has a separate Yelp listing (at https://www.yelp.com/biz/sewing-lab-los-alamitos-los-alamitos-2?osq=Sewing+Lab+Los+Alamitos). This quick review is just for the fabric portion of the store. They are a small shop, not nearly as large as JoAnne Fabrics was, but they have a surprisingly large selection of fabrics to choose from, as well as a vast array of remnants. My wife found several fabrics that she loved and purchased multiple yards of. The women who work here were extremely helpful and congenial, providing exceptional customer service. They also sell sewing machines and a plethora of sewing accessories. I think the non-fabric items are sold by the Sewing Lab side of the business but honestly I was a bit confused about the division, but it really doesn't matter as it's all available for purchase.
