This is truly my favorite fabric store in Phoenix. I've been shopping here regularly for the last three years ever since I started making dancewear and competitive dance costumes. Hands-down, they have the greatest selection of spandex and Lycra fabrics. They're beaded laces and special occasion. Fabrics are also stunning. If you see something you like, it's best to buy it all because it may not come back. I have never gone in and not found what I wanted or needed for my projects. Sometimes I just enjoy wandering for an hour over lunch to see what's new and say hi to the staff. I wish they stayed open later on Saturdays and maybe had limited hours on Sundays because now that Joannes has closed, it's hard to grab things in a pinch. But I'll take what I can get because I really love shopping there. The value is absolutely incredible for the quality of some of these performance fabrics that you will pay 2 to 3 times more for online and even more than that with shipping. read more

Worst customer service ever! The manager or owner was super insensitive and lacked care for her paying customers. Being 7 months pregnant and asking for a bathroom and denying cause it's " not for the public " was ridiculous to me. I'm literally waiting for my fabric to be cut in a long line and asked politely and was denied. Where do all the employees go?! It was very dismissive and disappointing that they would deny someone of my condition for a very special circumstance. Fabrics are fine staff were not nice - ruined the whole experience for me read more

I like going to this place. It reminds me of my childhood. Except this time they have some air conditioning! They have all kinds of things for crafts with a selection of loose buttons as well! The employees were all very helpful and honest with opinion, the prices are not the worst either. read more

Wow! I saw that people had issues with this shop. I don't know why. I experienced helpful staff, and great selections. So much fabric at great prices I would shop there all the time. Because it is a dead stock shop there are things they don't carry. But again they have so much that you would fine something you need if you are seriously sewing. read more

What was supposed to be a fun day of fabric shopping with my mother turned into a very unpleasant experience. The staff at this location were unbelievably rude (two in particular) When I had a simple question about a material, one employee yelled at me, telling me to "read the sign." This was particularly frustrating as it's the second time I've encountered this sad, sad man with a dismissive and rude attitude. It's truly a shame that the majority of our visit was soured by such unprofessional and unwelcoming behavior. Never coming back. read more

They're very helpful and their prices are GREAT. I've been to all 3 stores in the valley and you can find what you're looking for 98% of the time. read more

I can't recommend SAS Fabrics enough! I went in yesterday with a tall task of trying to find embellishments for a Marie Antoinette-style dress and had no less than five people help me. I was greeted the minute I walked through the door and was immediately offered help. I had multiple people take me through the isles for various things with total confidence, creative ideas, and complete knowledge of every item in the store (and there is a HUGE selection!). I found EXACTLY what I was hoping for and everyone was friendly, enthusiastic, and totally professional. They made the experience so much fun! I can't thank them all enough - especially because I don't consider myself crafty and I don't sew - but after working with this crew I felt like anything was possible! And the best part - I spent less than $60 on yards of fabric, lace, and trim - incredible! Thanks again to everyone for being awesome! read more

I like shopping here... Always a good selection. What I find -- I usually end up buying the whole piece. Customer service is good. Cutters are alwasy busy helping multiple people and tasking duties. Alwasy smiling too. No matter how crazy it gets. They have someone to consult in every department. Upholstery, garment, textile and personal shoppers to consult your projects. Quality is alwasy important no matter where you go. The bolts are always neat and rolled tight. Satin, Velvet, Brocade and Taffeta is clean and crisp. Perfect for sewing projects. Great value for you buck! read more

So much to pick from , all kinds of fabrics and the prices were GREAT! I didn't have a problem with the service. read more

SAS Fabrics is such a fun and inspiring place to shop, with a colorful and creative ambiance that makes browsing feel exciting; the service is friendly, helpful, and patient, and the huge variety plus quality of fabrics makes every visit worth it; be sure to check out the photos if available because the displays look even better in person and really show how much texture, pattern, and personality the store has. read more

SAS is a Phoenix staple! I've been going there since I was a kid. Great selection and value, you never know what you'll find there. Would recommend it to anyone. read more

This place is a fabriholics treasure hunt. Don't expect much in the way of customer service. Take your place in line for cutting and know how much you want them to cut. But the prices are the reason we keep going back! The Indian School location has had a lot of effort in sorting and neatly displaying most of the flat fold fabrics and has added a lot of bolts. Did I mention trims, ribbons, buttons, zippers and thread too? Have fun hunting! read more

I was at sas today and dealt with one of the fabric cutters. There is a spoke rule there that fabric off a bolt or roll there has to be two yards left. The bolt had 7.75 yards. I needed 6 yards. So I opted for 5.75 yards. He did not enjoy the math part of the equation. I then saw in writing on the countertop one yard must be on the bolt for cottons, minkee and upholstery. When I commented on that he sure got angry and said he doesn't make the rules. I said well these rules are conflicting. He became pretty angry. Reiterating he doesn't make the rules. I said hey not trying to upset you but someone should clearly indicate the rules. He was unreasonable with his attitude. Too bad he was a jerk about things. Won't return. Lots of options for fabric. read more

THis is the place for overstock and remnanants + seconds. The fabric prices are amazing. The staff not always so attentive so it's manily self-serve. We just founf Sunbrella outdoor fabric @ $7 )$40-50) anywhere else. It's just some "defects" but tough to see what those might be. So worth it! read more

Best value for miles around! I have been sewing & purchasing fabric & notions here for over 10 years. You may not be able to consistently find super high end fabric, but the selection of knits, upholstery fabric, buttons & trims ... insane. I love to dig thru the many discount boxes to find great retro patterned gems! I would say that the customer service has always been good. Some of the older employees ( I'm older myself) can appear gruff, but they answer your questions. You get what you need. The young men that work their are always offering to help me carry large fabric bolts to the cutting table. I have witnessed, on more than one occasion, some "Karen," go nuts & complain when they come to the cutting counter, but frankly, my observation has been that the complaining "Karen" has been rude & demanding, and talks "down" to the staff. They are very clear about minimum purchase requirements, but over, and over " Karen" gets mad when she has to spring for the additional quarter of a yard for $1.50. The store can be a bit hot inside, but you will not beat their bargains. If you want to make new pillows to revamp your living/bedroom, a new bathing suit & cover up, staple t-shirts, or a ball gown... they have the fabric & trims! Just be aware that though they have a massive selection, it appears to be deadstock. What is there is what they have, and when it's gone... that's it. Also if you have to get a particular texture or specific color, they may not have it. The Phoenix location seems to have a much broader selection than Tempe. It's a good place to go when you need to restock your stash for future makes. Another thing to consider, there will not be instructuions for care & type of fabric, when it is not on an actual bolt. Newer sewists may find this frustrating, but for me, all my handmades are prewashed prior to sewing, then handled gently. It will not be a " big box store" experience, but they have a great selection & good prices! read more

I really like this place, because you can mostly find anything you need. This is always the first stop. I was looking for upholstery thread and there was only one option which didn't work out. I'm hoping to go into the store addition next door soon. read more

SAS Fabrics - There are 2 stores side by side! - Fabric Stores Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Good service, fabulous prices, great selection! A community gem! Drive from Sun City.. it's worth it!

They have mostly new staff here now and just a couple of regulars. The cashier assured me that it is self-service there mostly (so my complaint about not having customer service is useless, lol.) She did point me in the right direction when I asked so that was refreshing. This is still the only reliable place to find the widest selection of fabric unless you know where to shop online. I am also glad to see JoAnnes tried to make a comeback by opening a new location on 32nd street and IndianSchool however, they are only good for findings, sewing machines, craft supplies, etc. They have a smaller selection of fabric and it's full-price with a few discounts here and there. both locations are pretty random but nobody beats SAS for keeping a large selection. I'm proud of them for staying open through the hassle of COVID when so many small businesses did not. read more

The selection is good but the staff is awful. They are so rude. As someone who designs clothing and works with in fashion their knowledge base is nothing to write home about. After multiple bad experiences and then another one on Saturday I am done. The store on 19th Ave. is bigger. It is cleaner the people are nicer and they have a much better selection. The store in Tempe he could use a good cleaning, but the staff is wonderful. The store on Indian school not worth the time not worth the hassle and the people definitely are not worth the BS. read more

If you're ever in the Phoenix AZ area and want fabric or notions, I highly recommend this store. It's like a warehouse. There are 2 locations. The prices are fantastic. If you're a quilter,check out their cotton aisle. I sew garments and picked up some stretch lycra and some Hacci sweater knits. I can't wait to work with these fabrics. read more

I'm decided to teach myself to sew. And also I want to recover a bench cushion I have. I went everywhere looking for fabric this place has a lot of fabric and extremely cheap prices compared to other places. Which is important because I'm learning and I don't wanna throw away money on projects that are going to be very good to start with for me. The staff was super friendly and helpful and it was fun just looking at everything read more

My coworker and I came here for fabric for her daughters regalia as they dance at Pow Wows. They had the fabric she wanted and according to her for much less than in Washington State. I picked up some native print fleece to make my daughter a blanket which she loved and very reasonably priced. The people who worked there were very polite and helpful and their selection was very large to choose with all different types of textiles. read more

If you go in with the right expectations, SAS Fabrics and SAS Fabrics Superstore are treasure troves of excellent fabrics, embellishments, and notions at rock bottom prices. Today I purchased 12 yards of high-quality, contemporary upholstery fabric for $5.99/yd...a design that would retail for at least $50/yd elsewhere. For what they are, they do it well. HOWEVER, your expectations MUST be: * Hit-or-miss selection of designs, quality, and quantity available. * No customer service to speak of...they will cut your fabric, but they will not help you search or know much of anything about their products. * No swatches provided, so bring swatches/pics of anything you are trying to coordinate or match. * Selection goes fast, so you must be decisive. * No refunds or returns...but at these prices, who really cares? read more

I'm visiting from out of town and I was so impressed by this little wholesale fabric vendor. I definitely got carried away and it was only my first day in Phoenix. A few notes: this is a wholesale experience. This means there's really no right to come in with an expectation of cleanliness or staff availability. That being said, the staff was pretty welcoming, curious about projects, transparent on the yardage, and willing to stash my suitcase while I looked around. Prices were fannnnntastic. I would rate this 5 stars but the slightly chaotic organization was just a little distracting. read more

Shopping local is what most of us choose as crafters & especially seamstresses so coming here is a no brainer. You won't be disappointed. The variety of options is large, quality is good, the staff is nice & extremely helpful. They have the fabric displayed in a way that's easy for anyone and everyone to grab and put in their cart. I made a large purchase & was happy with the price I paid for the amount I got. I live in Nevada & travel often for fabric, this is always a store I want to go to & not everyone does it this way. Apparel, upholstery, outdoor, swimwear, mesh, lace, ribbons, elastic, needles, thread cones, everything you need. read more

Lots of good deals but really disorganized, I'm a new sewer though so maybe I just don't understand how it's supposed to be. I did find the prices to be lower but couldn't find anything I liked, also I have no idea who was a worker or who was a customer so I can't attest to rudeness or friendliness. read more

Unbelievable selection of fabrics, trims, notions, etc. If you can't find it here you don't need it. Prices from dirt cheap to high depending on selection. Staff can be hit or miss. They definitely don't go out of their way to be helpful but do an ok. If not exceptionally friendly job. read more

Great service. Good selection, good prices. Infinitely better experience than the SAS on Indian School. Give this location your business for sure. read more

What an amazing selection of all types of fabric. The store is very organized and it's easy to see all of the selections. The check out involves a long line waiting for a few employees to cut the fabric. Once the fabric is cut you must pay for it before you can retrieve it. That is one area that should be streamlined. Would definitely return. read more

The three pieces of fabric that I have purchased from SAS, to sew tops from, has never softened up and is more like craft paper than fabric. I would rather pay more somewhere else and get something wearable from the hours I put into sewing. read more

Customer service is the pits! They have a lot of fabric but customer service not very welcoming. No smiles. If you ask a question you get either "yes" or "no". read more

Wow, shopping in there was an experience, to say the least. On a Thursday mid day, it took 30 minutes to get fabric cut and the whole time, the atmosphere in the store was uncomfortable. ALL the employees were snippy with customers and quite unfriendly. Their cutting skills left a lot to be desired. read more

Dave at SAS was helpful, jumped right in to help and had some options he found to help find a match for our RV interior ideas. Even at just before close he was cheerful and willing to assist-that kind of customer service is appreciated but doesn't happen as often as it should. Motorcycle Dave, you helped us just right. read more

This place is fantastic. Great prices and huge selection of fabrics and accessories. The staff that helped us was friendly abd knowledgeable. We were looking for drapery blackout material and had a nice selection of choices. Thank you. read more

This place is awesome. You can not beat the prices and I love a good deal! The upholstery fabric section is limited but I'm pretty sure inventory changes a lot so they could be adding more soon, but not sure. read more

Folks were friendly & attentive from the moment I stepped inside. The cashier literally walked me to the flannel section when I asked about flannel. I was patient while waiting for my turn at the cutting counter because the cutters take time to assist individuals when they're cutting. Sharlet helped me. She was amazing! I'd factored all of my fabric needs based on a specific width of fabric. Sharlet did all of the math to re-calculate my purchase because their fabric was a different width. She went above-and-beyond to make certain my yardage was correct. I really appreciate the top-notch service. I will be back! read more

Associates are rude and manager does not take action on rude associates. I called to complain md manager said well there is nothing I can do about it. read more

The staff is rude and store is chaotic. They yell at customers, yell at each other and are not discrete about it at all when frustrated. One staff member literally threw herself onto the counter and groaned. I can't believe the owner of this store hasn't done anything about this terrible customer service. I will not be returning. There is a Joann's hat just opened down the street so I'll be going there instead. I'm very disappointed because this store has a nice selection of sewing items/fabric. read more

Great fabric choices. Do not have anything to carry multiple fabric choices and most things are on a bolt so hard to move things around. Friendly staff. Some fabrics priced really well, some you can get elsewhere for cheaper. Go for the chance to see great and interesting fabrics. read more

Love this place. It is a bit of a distance for me to travel here, which means I have a tendency to stockpile for projects I anticipate doing in the future. The prices really can not be beat. I can literally spend hours in this store. read more
