    My mother recommended G Street Fabrics to me after our local JoAnn closed, and she spoke highly of…read morethe store from her years of shopping here. I wanted to continue supporting it for that reason and for its sense of community, but my experiences have been consistently disappointing. Yesterday was my final straw. I am new to sewing and come in seeking guidance on fabric selection and product education, yet nearly every visit is met with dismissive or rude customer service. The older representatives in particular often do not greet me and respond reluctantly or faintly when I ask for assistance. Help is provided, but it often feels like an inconvenience unless they are in the mood. Yesterday, when I asked a representative at the fabric counter for help understanding a product, she was short-tempered and instead told me they were closing at 5:15 p.m., despite the website listing a 7:30 p.m. closing time. The interaction felt rushed, dismissive, and disrespectful. At checkout, I asked for a bag for several small tools and fabric. The cashier said they were running low, and etc and tossed the bag at me. This type of behavior has happened on multiple visits and consistently dampens the experience. I truly wanted to like this store, but the repeated lack of basic courtesy--especially toward newer customers--has made me unwilling to return. I hope management takes these ongoing customer service issues seriously.

    G Street Fabrics is truly my happy place. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, and their sewing…read moreexpertise shows in everything they do. They've been in business for over 80 years, and their deep sewing knowledge really sets them apart from other stores. Most employees have been here for years--some for decades--which truly shows their dedication and love for what they do. Even the store owners are very dedicated; you'll often see them on the floor greeting customers, which shows how much they care. Courtney is super helpful and really knows pattern making, Linda has been part of G Street for decades, and Leo is incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to help. You'll soon know everyone by name because they naturally become your sewing-expertise coaches. I even call them the fabric whisperers because they always seem to know exactly what you need. I bought my sewing machine here with Esther's help--she is so kind and genuinely wants you to succeed long after your purchase. They also offer upholstery services and sewing-machine repairs--both of which have saved me more than once. And I have to give a special shout-out to Lew, the sewing tech. He's the absolute best and always knows exactly how to fix any issue. I can't recommend G Street enough. It's a must-visit for anyone who sews, creates, or simply loves beautiful materials.

There is room out on the porch & inside at a big maker space table for people to work on projects. There is a classroom area in the rear & I understand a class schedule is coming. My Fiber Arts group went together on a "field trip" to explore. They have all kinds of fabrics, kits, & curated bundles of fat quarters for quilting. Everything is so well thought out, presented, and displayed. I know a bunch of my friends who are going to want to move in & "live" there. It is around in the rear of a shopping center, so as you turn in from Benfield Rd, go all the way back past the string if restaurants and stores and around the rear corner. There is plenty of parking. Best of all, it is women-owned and not a big box store

In addition to their selection, they also offer classes! We were greeted immediately and someone was able to lead us to what we were looking for because the layout was a little hard to navigate. They didn't have what we were looking for in stock but were quick to order it and let us know it would come in the following week. Despite being on the pricier end, the store is quaint and welcoming. Visit if you can!

I was told one of the owners, the friendly one, is having health issues and cannot work - that is why the store is going downhill. It's definitely still worth a visit ;-).

    Very disappointed with my recent visit. I've shopped here before without issue, but this experience…read morewas completely different. First, Google listed the opening time as 10 a.m., but the store did not open until 11. We had driven from Baltimore to get ahead of bad weather, tried calling multiple times, and found the voicemail full. There's no website to confirm hours, so we were left guessing whether to wait. Once inside, we spent nearly two hours selecting eight fabrics for multiple projects. Many fabrics were not priced, and the single employee cutting fabric had to repeatedly walk to the front of the store to ask the owner for pricing or answers to basic questions, which made the process extremely slow. The final issue was a large-print fabric that had deep slashes running several yards into the roll, along with visible black marks. I asked that the damaged portion be cut off or that cutting begin from the other end of the roll. The owner refused and told me that if I didn't like it, I didn't have to buy it, stating multiple times that they are a "for profit store." I have over 50 years of experience buying fabric and have never been expected to pay for clearly damaged yardage. We ultimately walked out without purchasing anything, leaving eight rolls at the cutting table--well over $1,000 in sales lost. It's disappointing to see how much this store has changed. It was once staffed by knowledgeable, helpful people who wanted to assist customers. I won't be returning.

I teach dollmaking and other crafts, and have even purchased ready-made African outfits from here for cultural celebrations. The owner and his family have always been friendly, courteous, and helpful. They are one of the few surviving stores that carries the latest African fabrics in the Prince Georges County area. Please give them your business, and regard some of the other negative reviews perhaps as coming from people whose expectations were not met with their idea of an African fabric store. This is not a fancy store, or one like the big chain fabric stores. Admittedly it is arranged in a way that is very different from traditional fabric stores. If you've ever shopped in the garment district in New York in one of its places where fabrics are piled to the ceiling, you'll almost feel like you are in one of those types of stores. This store is loaded with tons of fabrics and sewing notions, as well as jewelry and ready-made outfits. The fabric for the most part is on large heavy rolls, thus it is not easy to move them around a lot as one previous reviewer complained that the owner would not do. The store has its own charm, personality, and atmosphere. Give it a try. If you really want quality fabric, buy here, and put your high expectations to the side, and walk away with the fabric you came to buy.
