This place moved from down the street, and I always try here for fabrics before going to dressew…read more It's normally the husband I see at the shop, and he's been pretty expert at cutting the fabrics, though I've asked him a question time to time about how to sew the fabric I'm buying and been met with a friendly shrug. But when he cuts I always get straight, confident lines done with extremely sharp shears, compared to the jagged cuts I sometimes end up with at dressew. They devote their entire attention to the customer in front of them, which I wholeheartedly respect and I'm willing to wait my turn for their service. Granted they seem more expensive than dressew, they really aren't, in that they sell mainly higher quality fabrics, that which would be available at dressew is of comparable prices, but they sell more wools, silks and higher quality fabrics than dressew even with a much smaller store. I had the opportunity to take advantage of a few of the last days of their moving sale, and walked away with an entire garbage bag full of fabric for about 60.00, some of which I still have, is still in style and will still make great pieces. They may not have the prints that you'll find at dressew made out of polyester, that whatever you make will be good for one season only, due to wear AND design, but if you want to make yourself a high quality winter coat, or a weightless silk dress mirroring the runways, this is where you want to go. A designer store indeed!

Staff provided the most basic service - one pointing with her foot to bins of the yarn I requested and walking away. Cramped basic shelving, narrow aisles and drapery concealing the back room. Couldn't get out of there fast enough! It is such a far cry from the previous ownership with their cute window displays, lots of knits ups for inspiration and a large, warm inviting atmospheric, together with friendly and knowledgable staff. So dismayed that it's gone so far down hill. I won't be back.

Most of their selection is wool (unfortunately for me who is allergic). But they have some greater speciality yarns, and even some alpaca. It is a very small shop with many hand dyed yarns. They have some cheaper yarns but much of it is a bit pricey for a poor student like me. However, if you happen to be on Granville Island this is defenitely a stop for a knitter!

Here is where I have issues ... how they cut the fabric. They have a system where they cut exactly the amount you ask for. It an millimetre more. Some staff cut crooked which is what happened to me. I pointed out that her cut was crooked. She apologized and re-measured. Sure enough she was off by a few inches on one side because she cut crooked. So I said that I'll still take the piece but can I have a discount? She asked her manager and basically the answer was no. I still took the fabric, I suppose I could have asked for another piece to be cut (unfortunately I'm a people pleaser) but I bought the fabric piece as is. I felt bad to ask for another piece to be cut. There were people in line etc. On my drive home I became distraught about it thinking they could have given me a small discount and I regretted not asking for a new piece to be cut.

There happened to be a sewing class going on that Saturday morning, and I was a little jealous I wasn't enrolled haha. I was impressed with the assortment of garment fabrics in a wide variety of tasteful colors, and most of them were in natural fibers. I'm not a quilter, but they had a really cute patterned cotton selection, too. A few mannequins displayed clothing pieces that were labeled with the sewing pattern and type of fabric used, which really helped me get a sense of what to pick for my own project. Staff were friendly and helpful, but also let me browse in silence for a long time until I was ready to ask questions. Pricing was on-par with most independent fabric shops, and I appreciated that the prices were given in both per meters and yards!

She's been here many times in the past, but it was all new to me. This is definitely the kind of place to go to get fabrics or patterns in any color, pattern, material or aesthetic. I really liked how so many of thier clothing patterns came in large sizes for larger people. And along with all the bolts of fabrics, they also had all sorts of sewing tools and accessories and embellishments, too. This would be a fabulous place to go to for inspiration, or to get advice from the super knowledgeable ladies who work here. I noticed, too, that they have an area with sewing machines, and they offer classes, to make various projects. How cool is that!
