I love that the building is as dilapidated as it was when I was a kid! It no longer sells general fabrics and sewing supplies and now only sells home decor fabric, but boy do they have a lot of it and at great prices! Of course, you can buy all sorts of high price fabrics, too but for me, finding velveteen sofa fabric at $18.99 a yard was a big score for my reupholstering project. They have plenty of bolts in stock and plenty of fabrics you can order. Don't miss the 3rd floor clearance rack. If you've got the time, you can sift through and find lots of great deals!
