A few years ago my sister was getting married and we would make regular visits to the Punjab Cloth…read moreHouse. We were curious to see what was being offered locally and at what prices, before we booked a full-fledged trip to India. The service at the Punjab Cloth House wasn't always great. It can get busy and no one really follows the rules of first come, first serve, so whoever gets to the staff first has free dibs. That already gets under my skin. Then, I notice that while the selection of fabric is pretty vast, the selection of suits that they offer is a bit limited, especially when you look at the price tags. The suits they do have are beautiful, but ridiculously priced, and although they do sell just the material for you to go out and have your suit made, that always ends up costing a lot as well. So what ended up happening you ask? We booked the flight to India and came back with 4 suitcases FULL of suits and wedding swag. Had we been forced to shop solely at the Punjab Cloth House, the selection wouldn't have been half as impressive, and we probably would have only been able to fill one suitcase for the same prices.

For context, this is the second time me and my partner have been to the store. The first time we…read morewent, one of the employees acted very bothered every time we asked for help, whether it was finding items, asking for lengths of fabric, or changing our minds about the items we were still considering. We decided to ignore it, and went again about a month later. We were looking for materials to make monster hunter leather armor. We had found the perfect leather, and were told to put it aside until we were finished shopping by another employee. It was left on a side table at the back, after being explicitly told that we had access to it. We came back after half an hour of shopping, and the same employee who set it aside was selling it to another person. When confronted, both employees doubled down and told us that we were wrong, and that they were going to sell it to another customer. We repeated what they had told us originally, but they kept insisting that we had not communicated at all. The other customer also became upset and left without buying any leather due to their behaviour. One of them proceeded to tell me "Ninety Six dollars" per square meter, when they had said eight dollars to the other customer. When we went to pay, we explained to the employee our concerns, and why we ended up not buying anything. He again became very argumentative, calling us liars, and then simply refusing to engage in any conversation, however helpful or constructive it may have been. Overall, I would never recommend this store, which is unfortunate due to their wide variety of fabrics.

I went to Fabric Depot a few weeks ago because their website was the only fabric store website that…read morelisted what I was looking for. I just wanted some fringe for trimming a dress but no other website offered this item. I needed to make a costume from the 1920s. This place was amazing, both wonderful and mysterious at the same time. The store is crammed from floor to ceiling with everything from fabrics to fur, trims and fringes, ribbon and lace, and it just goes on. The staff are great. I had no idea where to start but when I told them what I needed they led me through narrow corridors of stuff that branched off into different areas just waiting to be explored. Eventually we reached a room that was floor to ceiling with trims and fringes galore. I found what I needed and the staff were very helpful but not pushy or in a rush. They let me use one of their tables to sort through my selections. Long story short, I found what I needed at a good price in about 20 minutes but spent over an hour exploring all the great products they sell. I picked up a few other decorations for my dress at very reasonable prices. The best part, I didn't make it to the second floor. I am definitely going back. This place is a craft person's dream especially if you build your own Halloween costumes! And it is a fun place to explore for an afternoon.

They also have the basics like thread, sewing machine needles, etc. If you're a walk-in customer they have a small showroom where you can do cash and carry. I was making a doggy fence for my parent's condo patio. I figured this was the best place to get the supplies I needed. They have rolls of woven mesh that's used to make laundry bags (generally). This was perfect to cut into a few strips and join to create a fence. I also picked up some strapping, similar to what you see on back-packs to add some structure to the fence. All-in-all it worked out great. No more escapee dog.
