I came to the Bronx to buy some fabrics and to my dismay, the store was closed, even though it said…read moreon Google (and in the posted hours of operation) that ot was open. What to do, look for another store that sold fabric nearby. Lucky for me, there is one right across the street. Save-A-thon isn't a fabric store per se, but it's a jack of all trades stop that sells everything from craft supplies, home decor, accessories and more. They do however have a lot of fabric, FOR CHEAP!!! I don't know if this is irregular, dead stock , overstock or what, but they have some very good quality fabric way under priced. I was like a kid in a candy store here. Because I didn't have that much space in my suitcase. I didn't buy as much as I wanted to, but I bought enough where I have to mail some home lol. They sell some amazing cuts of leather that I wish I would've been able to purchase anything from small cuts for $10 to complete hide sized cuts for a little over $100 unbelievable price of leather. I didn't much look at anything else they sell other than the fabric. I am most definitely coming back the next time I'm in New York .

This store has been here for 40 years! And I cannot be happier I found it. It is located in Fordham…read morestreet in the Bronx. For those who buy fabric, this store will seem perfectly normal. I have been to many stores that look like this anywhere from New York to Paris. To others, who are used to to Big Box fabric shops such as Joann's Fabric, this place may seem chaotic. I was so blown away by their prices, that I filled a luggage with my purchases and paid the $30 bucks fee to bring it home to Florida and I still saved a ton. They have everything! No real order, or like we say in Spanish: No tiene pies, ni cabeza. But you can see a little where they tried to organize their chaos. The store is very small and they just have a lot. I also saw a basement where I could see home fabrics, didn't look into them. The sales associate who helped me was also super nice and friendly. Gave me a little extra discount too since I got quite a bit. This shop will be my first stop on my next trip to the Big Apple!

I came here to see if they carried a fabric that I could use to sew a cosplay outfit for my son. I…read morehave another fabric store that I frequent for supplies but they did not have anything that would work with the other fabric I already had. I was making pants for the first time and they were different colors, so the materials had to work well together as far as weight and appearance. This is a family-owned, Black-owned, women-owned, small business in the Bronx and they don't stop at just offering fabric, trimmings and tailoring. They also host sewing camps for kids and adults. They have various types of machines thta you cna come in to try out and see what might work for you. The prices of their fabrics are reasonable. I did purchase some shears that I was able to find for less money elsewhere, and I was able to return them in exchange for store credit. This policy did not bother me because I plan to return for more fabric, as our cosplay is quickly becoming an annual tradition, but be advised that you will get store credit in lieu of a full refund. Owners, Clarissa and Nadine, are very knowledgeable and a wealth of tips and suggestions. If you're just starting our, they are perfect to answer any questions you may have. I'm fairly new and went in not know what I could do. I basically just explained my dilemma and was directed to the best fabric for what I wanted to construct. It was the first time I ever made pants, two-toned no less, and they came out amazing. When I visited, I had my kiddo with me and she was gifted with some scrap fabric and an elastic band, and a quick tutorial to construct a simple scrunchie. She was super ecstatic and I hope she takes to sewing as I have. I will definitely be regularly visiting for my cosplay construction needs.

Even before Yelp's Blossom Holness event, my mom and I (mom mostly) would come to this fabric store…read morefrequently a block away from the 6 train in Castle Hill when it was previously owned by Dominicans and called Singer Chester Sewing Center. Here, she bought all her threads, Singer machine needles, zippers, etc. With a minimalist Pinterest inspiration for a small beige linen curtain for my new half-bathroom in mind, my mom and I searched for the fabric. Similar to Chester Sewing, Blossom Holness still remains the lone survivor in the world of family-owned fabric stores as I previously described in my Chester Sewing review. Now, with brand new owners, Nadine and her ladies are bringing a new mix to their model. She's included 6? 8? 10? portable sewing machines for sewing classes. What a wonderful idea and addition to their shop to bring the community together. You'll find the silks with silks, cotton with cotton, upholstery-type fabric with like fabric, etc. Except, out of all the colors available, beige was non-existent, so settled for a cotton (not the feel I was going for). Do know that Blossom Holness has a delightful selection of gorgeous notions, buttons and trims- so definitely check it out. Service was incredibly pleasant and as for the old, 'Chester Sewing Center' awning that still remains, Nadine is awaiting the name change that's been put in place already.

I dropped off film to be developed into prints on a Friday afternoon around noon and was told I…read morecould pick up the prints Tuesday or Wednesday. I arrived Wednesday evening to pick the prints and was told scornfully "I told you Thursday or Friday" . The man was not only wrong but very combative in his tone and language. I can understand if the prints were not made by the set pickup date but I can not understand the need to act defensively and the attempt to shift blame onto me, the paying client. The man told me I could come back Thursday and I asked if he was positive and he confirmed. He said he would text me when they were done and I left. I walked in Thursday afternoon and the man said "you're here to pick up the prints aren't you, I told you Thursday or Friday and that I would text you". He wasn't apologetic he was annoyed. I countered he confirmed they would be ready Thursday and he became even more argumentative and dismissive. Regardless of the pick up times that were argued, this is extremely poor customer service. I paid in advance for a service which was not rendered in the agreed upon timeframe and instead of being accommodating or at the least kind about it I was met with contempt and made to feel like I was an annoyance. This is inexcusable. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place.
