It was my first time going after I left that one fabric store in pilsen. I was very surprised. It smells good in the store and everything appears to be clean. Their prices are a bit pricey but they did have some fabrics on sale. I got the chiffon I ended up getting 4 yards and it came out to $26 total. The staff does not speak English and the man that was cutting my chiffon cut a tiny slit then ripped it all the way down. Making the fabric lopsided. That was disturbing. My experience was ok. If Joanns was still open I'd be there but since they're closed this is the next best.

He let me watch and taught me how to fix it on my own if the problem happens again. Prices aren't bad, about the same as any other craft store sometimes even cheaper! I'm hoping that they get some new fabrics in because it's been the same the past couple months but there is a pretty large selection (can be overwhelming but which fabric store isn't).

There is TONS of fabric here, as well as findings, tools, trim, etc. As a person with mobility issues, I won't lie, it's not the most accessible shopping experience ever as some things are down low or up high. But staff were available and willing to help. Prices were reasonable and it's nice to be able to see material in person rather than online.

The most affordable and still charming place where I could find so many things I've found walking on Lawrence, when I just moved in, and visiting this store by accident.... A year ago I bought so many things for my place, not be able to afford much, but could find such great things, the effect was amazing and all of the things I bought are still in use. Recently I was in a search for a mattress, like queen or full size, and walked in waiting for my glasses to be fixed nearby. I got beautiful full size mattress, with brocade finish, very comfortable, breathable, and such good quality, for a beautiful price as well. Not just that, but also a free delivery, and help to get rid of my old, and very heavy mattress. ON SUNDAY, so flexible because I couldn't find time on any other day. It's very rare to ran into such polite and helpful people, as Samuel, guy who works there. He 's helpful as can be, funny and will make your day, on 5 languages as well :-D I will for sure come back very soon for my spring update :-)

Place is cluttered because his shop is small but in the heart of the city, where you can't find a Michael's or a JoAnn's. I was visiting from Florida and needed a zipper, thread & needle for my new grandson's sleeper I just finished crocheting. Chicago Fabric & Yarn had exactly what I needed. His selection of fabrics and yarns are amazing, especially the beautiful fabrics that I noticed that were from Africa. I also noticed many laces and fancy fabrics. I wish I lived close by as I believe I would use this place to build up & replace the fabric stash I gave away to a design school while downsizing last month! Shame that sewing is a dying art, but for those of us diehards, keep this place on your list. Especially if you live in the center of Chicago or close by! Certainly beats out the chains like Joann's, Michael's and Hobby Lobby or online companies that begin with an "A." Nice to have a shopkeeper who knows what you are talking about when you request a specific sewing item. Am I dating myself! Gees, real customer service! Sure beats going online to buy- you mean I get to see what I'm purchasing? What a novel idea!!!! Thank you Chicago Fabric and Yarns!

I shopped and shipped everything directly from their website and never had to pick up the phone once! Oh, make that a 7th love for carrying Heather Ross fabrics. I'm obsessed with #HeatherRoss. I love to sew. I am crafty, and I have a huge love (can you tell?) with fabrics! Thanks to Evanston Stitchworks, you'll find really fun and unique designs at their shop (currently available online). This isn't your typical fabric store. They support really cool independent designers and quirky fabrics for quilting and making clothes...well for sewing anything really. They also offer knitting supplies and all the books you might need to learn how to sew or knit. Evanston Stitchworks also offers many crafty classes (currently virtual). A few years ago I took their beginning knitting class. For some reason my brain gets all discombobulated when I try to knit, but the class was really fun. The owner was patient and kind and did everything she could to help me fix my mistakes along the way. Everyone else knocked it out of the park, so it's just not something I'm good at. I'm so glad this small local business exists, and I'll continue to purchase fabric from them. Speaking of fabric, don't you just love the designs I picked out for my two little nieces? They are Heather Ross designs, and my SIL is planning to make dresses for them. Can't wait to see how they turn out!
