    I only come here to buy fabrics that I would have no regret scrapping in the case that my project goes south and for that, this place serves its purpose well. They don't have high-quality or elaborate materials that you'd have to go to the Garment District for, but all of the stuff here should suffice to experiment with and make prototypes. Most of their fabrics are not labeled with what materials they are made of which makes shopping a bit more difficult and time-consuming. You will have to go to each bolt and get a feel of the fabric. Prices start from literally $1 and most fabrics seem to be under $10/yard. They also have a selection of trimmings and ribbons. On the ground floor, they have a section for knitting, painting, as well as other random house decor items (fake flowers, wedding favors, dollies, wooden letters, blank t-shirts, etc). On the basement floor is where the baking and cake decorating items are at as well as more miscellaneous house furnishings. Customer service here could be better, but for the affordable prices, I'll suck it up.

    I think I got lucky and actually had a nice experience. My mom wanted to go check out their fabrics so I didn't even Yelp the store, I just went along with her. I'm glad I didn't have a horrific experience like the other reviews here... We went on a Sunday, right when it opened at 11 am. The store was quiet and not so crowded. The ground floor has a lot of crafts, foam letters, things to do with your kids. The bottom floor has a whole bunch of yarn. I'd say 80% of the yarn is acrylic, 10% is cotton and 10% is entirely wool. I found two skeins for a reasonable price of $3.99 each. The bottom floor also has baking supplies, even a tin shaped like a Barbie which I thought was super cool. The top floor had the fabric. Because the store is in this area of Brooklyn, there's a bigger selection than a store I saw in downtown Brooklyn but we didn't find any fabric we wanted to buy. The selection wasn't amazing or various but I feel like if you found something you liked, the prices are reasonable. I ended up buying these fun socks too on impulse.

    First off this place is very spacious and well put together. Their selections are vast and prices are reasonable. Staff was nonexistent for help but I didnt exactly need any. There are free sewing classes, free cake decorating classes and more. Check then out and see what they got fot you. Not sure on their cash/credit policy because I paid cash.

    The shop on flatbush

    Went there on 12.26. Very rude staff members. From the manager eating soup on the side and not addressing the needs of the store. And the brother who just said no when my sister asked him to cut fabric. No explanation. Just no. Finally after being asked why like 3 times, he explained that the store only cuts fabric if they can ensure that is a certain amount left after the cut. But then he sends us to the useless manager who states that it can't be done. So my sister picks out another fabric with even less on the roll AND THEY CUT IT..... what the hell? Totally against the policy they just stated. By that point we just said forget it and got the hell out.

    Classes they offer

    Stumbled upon this place on the way home from kings plaza. When I went downstairs there were shelves of yarn organized by brand in the middle was a counter and next to it was a couple of tables for classes. At the counter there is a sign that showed the classes that they offered. And they offered crochet classes so I went to the crochet class, mind you I know some basics by watching youtube videos but i never really knew how to crochet. So when i went to the class, the teacher was kind, patient and walked me through a stitch that i was having a hard time with. I definitely recommend this place

    The expanded yarn department in the basement is full of inspiration. Staff is somewhat inefficient.

    This place is beyond TERRIBLE. They messed up our order and when we wanted to discuss it with…read morethem, they refused, getting all defensive, yelling at us, telling us to mind our own business and to know our place. They hung up on us, their customers, and failed to stand by their merchandise and even acknowledge the fact that they may have made a mistake. Will have to pay someone else to fix their incompetence. NEVER EVER EVER do business with them

    ATTENTION: stay away from this place!!! The owners of this business are the biggest LIARS, they're…read moreonly after your money. When I walked into their store, the owner and his wife acted extremely friendly, and said that they have been in business for 20 years and their priority is to provide the best service and make sure that I am happy with all the curtains they will custom make for me. DON'T BE FOOLED!!! After choosing out the fabrics, the owner, Joseph and his wife came to my house to make measurements of my walls/windows. After making me wait over 1 month for curtains, and paying $3,000, all the curtains that came were the wrong measurements- off by 13 inches to be exact. From what I understand about "custom" curtains, they are custom because they are made to be the specific size you need. If I needed shorter curtains, I would have went to any local retailer. and paid 1/4 of the price. When I brought the curtains back to the store and showed them that he had taken down the wrong measurement, he argued saying that its not his fault. Finally, Joseph said he realizes that he was wrong and he will redo everything as soon as possible. Two days later, he calls us back saying he changed his mind and he doesn't want to redo them. He also refuses to give us our money back. Now i have to pay more money to have all the curtains redone. We are currently filing a lawsuit against them, and submitting complaints to the BBB. I honestly don't know how these people managed to stay in business for so long. STAY AWAY !! TERRIBLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL.

    Such a cute spot! If you are ever looking for a custom gift to give to someone (or for yourself!)…read morethis is the place to stop at. Handmade jewelry, candles galore & specialized small batch food items, like tea & hot sauce. Some of the items are a little over priced but over all the place seemed affordable! Walked away with a chai tea concentrate that I'm excited to try!

    This was the first Brooklyn gift shop I went to when I first intentionally looked for a gift shop…read more I was already along cortelyou when I remembered this place existed. I needed some small trinkets for a friend's daughter and they delivered. I appreciate that it delves into different topics despite its small space such as food and related accessories, drink accessories (ex: corkscrews/drinking glasses), clothes and home design. Nine times out of ten I can get a gift for a friend from here that is unique. There are items there that are made by Brooklyn/nyc artists. But depending on when you visit, there are not too many things that are NYC/Brooklyn themed (there was an ash tray, a puzzle sets, magnets, & keychains when I visited off the top of my head). To my knowledge, there is not a website that shows all they have available without visiting but I would recommend looking at their Instagram to see what new things they have plus to see what events they are holding. It is relatively cramped even when you are one of two people perusing the store. Every time I visit, there are new items to look at. This of course means that some items you may have seen previously are gone. But they do have items that you are sure to see when you visit such as Breukelen Rub spices, Mike's hot honey and the street sign magnets that I love (I have multiple). If I am looking for a gift for a friend and I wanted a twist, I would come looking here. Is there a guarantee that I will find what I want? Not necessarily but I will have fun trying
