Visited June Fabrics for the first time on my recent trip back home. Want to try getting into…read moresewing baby blankets and using them to add to my diaper cakes. Born and raised in Honolulu and now living in the bay, I want to create diaper cakes using Hawaiian print materials to give them an aloha vibe. I created a list of fabric stores to visit, but ended up just checking this place out since it was in Kalihi, not far from where my mom lives, and I didn't feel like being in the crazy Oahu traffic to get to the other shops. Located in a warehouse off N. King Street in Kalihi, it wasn't very hard to find, and parking can be limited in front of the warehouse or street parking. When my mom and I walked in, we were amazed at the vast amount of material this place carries. A lot of Hawaiian print, Palaka, Japanese, Tahitian, and those cute Kawaii patterns (see my pics) to name a few. We received great customer service considering how busy they were. Daniel was pleasant and very helpful. Prices were reasonable, the prints I got were from $5/yd. They mainly carry rolls of material, some ribbon, and a few sewing accessories at the checkout counter. Daniel recommended I check out their Instagram for any new print drops, and they ship! Off 1 star for organization. There are some beautiful prints hiding under several rolls of fabric.

They have a great assortment of fabric. The customer service was fantastic and quick and we were able to get in and out of there quickly. They have a minimum of one yard of fabric now which isn't bad at all. Highly recommend to come if you need a special fabric print or color that you need for your projects.

Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Looking for a purple dress, I didn't expect to find one at Aloha Fabrics, but I did! Strolling around Dole Cannery, I saw clothing in the window. I thought that this was a hula supply store? Since I'm here, I should just take a look, right? Browsing the aisles that were filled with all kinds of merchandise like pareo, hair accessories, musical instruments, tube tops, lanyards, check book covers, hula skirts, etc., I found a rack of long mu'umu'u! I was excited to find a pretty lei print on lavender material with purple trim! Perfect! The nice man apologized that there was no dressing room. I estimated the length and width to figure what size to get. He said there's no refund and maybe I can come back for alteration? I think I'll fit! I also saw some coin purses that will make great party favors! I got a bunch and he gave me a discount for bulk purchase! Thank you! Wow... I wasn't expecting anything and this store is really terrific... they even have 100% cotton palaka fabric on bolts! I need to return when I'm ready to sew my next project! Thank you so much!!!

Lots of parking, and easy to find. Across Costco, so it can get super busy. They all the colors of Palaka, with other Hawaiian prints. They didn't have a lot of selection for Palaka clothing due to holidays, but it's ok they had the Palaka fabrics I wanted! Sooooo happy I found this place! Staff were so helpful, friendly, and attentive. They offer an array of Hawaiian wear, adults, and children. They supply hula dancers as well. Definitely coming back, as this store is very stocked. Quality fabrics and not imitation fabric. I was so excited i forgot to buy elastic buttons, OH MY! See you there!

I happened to park right across the street from Calico Cat... in a metered street parking stall. Carol is the cheerful owner. She saw that I was confused because Every Day Better by Green Meadows is next door to Calico Cat. Carol explained the sign above that shows the name of the shop closest to each shop - depending on which way you face the sign. Ahhh... Calico Cat was described by their neighbor (Every Day Better by Green Meadows) as having fabric "eye candy". LOL! Yes - if you sew, you know that these bolts of material are very beautiful, whimsical, and unique! They are very inspirational and made me want to sew! Of course, I purchased a lot of material... thinking that Christmas is coming... I need to get a head start! Remember to get a Loyalty Card. Carol can hold it in the shop... among the 1000 cards she already has... filed by last name! Thank you for the free pen! I'll be back soon!

I stumbled upon Fabric Mart near Pearlridge Center last week when we cleaned up for the New Year and dropped off donations nearby. So, I decided to check it out today. First of all, it's a HUGE space with fabrics galore!!! Lots of local, Hawaiian print material. Wall full of fancy, frilly ones. And even, solid choices of fabric for curtains and furniture! Also, they sell gorgeous 100% silk options! This place definitely could be an inspo to stir up creativity we need from time to time. Also, they sell accessories that usually come with sewing projects including patterns and zippers. Unfortunately, I did not see any sewing machines. Nor, do they offer sewing classes. This shop is not visible from the main road. Mosey on towards the back line-up of businesses including a gymnastic's school and an Asian home furnishings store. There is ample, free parking. I thought the staff working was not very friendly. Probably due to not in work mode because it's right after the long holidays. I recommend here if you are wanting a wide selection of fabric for your next craft project.

FREE PARKING. That literally made my day knowing I didn't have to find street parking and walking forever! The shop is on the first floor and it appears they moved into a bigger area adjacent to the old (making it a much bigger space. Once you enter you are greeting by the nicest lady (owner). I told her that I was new to her shop and was looking for a mu'umu'u for an upcoming event. She made several suggestions (all so very good)! I was happy since I was clueless other than knowing that I wanted a vintage piece and perhaps a "newer" version as well. I came away with a beautiful Bette in a pink floral as well as another in red and yellow print. I was very pleased with my purchases as well as the help and hospitality from DeStash.

I checked out their website and they had many different patterns and colors available. I placed my order by phone and their customer service was outstanding! They were fast and reliable and I was able to pick up my order the next day. I purchased four fabric face masks from Casual Hawaii that were very well-made. I was told that the thread count was 186 to 205 when doctors are recommending 180 or more. I found that in addition to face masks, they also make aloha shirts, ladies dresses, and much more. Just check out their website and call if you have any questions. They take as much time as you need to help you make your final decision.
