The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable when I ask about fabrics and technique. I am very new to sewing but it feels somewhat intuitive since I grew up with my mother making our clothing from templates and even from scratch. My daughter has also taken an interest in sewing and I love sharing this past time with her. In 2023 we made cosplay outfits for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean and work them to NYC Anime 2023. My son was Father "The Priest" Pucci, and my daughter was Ermes Costello. S R M helps me to bring to fruition, all of the ideas in my head and I love that I am actually able to produce what I picture. I'm getting better with every task.

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.

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 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 wore it to a comic convention last weekend and got a lot of great compliments! If you want a cheap, good selection of fabrics and an awesome staff then Bhing fabrics is the place to go!

I declared I was a novice to the field of interior decoration and fabric. I was ignored. They used jargon, (as a scientist I frequently encounter people who are nervous about tech.. the last thing you want to do is dazzle them with acronyms). The most interesting thing however was that they disparaged products I already had .. didnt we throw out that sales technique in the 80's? Not a fan .. but then again I was clearly not the customer base they are seeking

At this point I don't know if I am going to see my chair again!

This was our second stop. It's located in the garment district in an unassuming building on the 5th floor. Not really knowing what to expect, I was floored when we walked in.

Most pieces ranged from 30-50 for 6 yards. The staff may give a little discount if you get multiple pieces. I cannot wait to go back.

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.
