    The link on this page takes you to a Washington D.C. gay sex thing. I can't figure out how to tell Yelp.

    Did a search for a fabric store and this popped up. I knew that I didn't want to go to a chain…read morefabric store. So this worked out great for me. I cannot remember his name. But the owner was very knowledgeable and helpful. The fabric is not cheap. They had quality fabrics here. He mentioned most were imported and it showed. I picked out some fabric and was on my way.

The young lady matched the fabric to almost perfection. She saved my event!!!! Not wearing the purchased dress was not an option! Not to mention how friendly she and the other staff were. I then went to the back room to get the thread I needed and..this room gave me an immediate flashback to my childhood when my Mom took me to Morten Schenk in downtown Baltimore. I loved it because the store was a wall of buttons!!! It looked like jewels all over the walls. It was a fond memory that I shared with one off the staff who remembered the store. All in all, the store itself had the most incredible fabric I've seen in a very long time. It it now on my list of favorites. Please visit if you are in need of a showstopper garment. Fabric beyond your wildest dreams! You wont be disappointed.

    I've been to a similar shop like this back home in Los Angeles (Remainders in Pasadena for those…read moreinterested) and now that I live in Baltimore and remain a frequent crafter (sewist, knitter, and general hobbyist), I was delighted to find out this shop existed. I've been on the hunt for some cheap supplies, specifically a pinback button machine as this is around $50-60 new online and since I'm using funds from the school club I'm in to buy it; this felt excessive. Unfortunately they didn't have this machine and apparently only have ones in stock like this once in a while as they tend to go fast. Not deterred, I kept exploring the rest of the shop. Price wise, this place is THE best craft store you can and should stop into before going elsewhere to see if they have supplies you could use. You name it; they have it or have had it in the past. Supply varies as they depend on donations but with some supplies I bought costing just a quarter, I truly cannot be mad. They had yarn, paper supplies, knitting supplies, beadwork items, sewing supplies including patterns and zippers and sewing feet, stationary and scrapbook/journaling supplies. I absolutely recommend any crafters on a budget to come out here.

    I absolutely love this place! It's such a gem and a unique experience. Everyone who works there is…read moreso nice, welcoming and helpful if you have any questions on anything. The last time I was there, they had just received a bunch of new items and it was so refreshing to see how excited, passionate and enthusiastic everyone was to go through the supplies. I say this because this is the kind of place that you can go to fairly frequently and never know what you're going to find! My only piece of advice is to go in generallllly knowing what you're looking for, or give yourself a realistic budget because it's so easy to get caught up and buy an overwhelming amount! I say this from personal experience!

The store offers an…read moreimpressive variety of fabrics, from trendy fashion prints to classic quilting and home décor options, along with a huge selection of sewing notions and tools. The atmosphere is creative and welcoming, and the staff truly go above and beyond. They're patient, knowledgeable, and always happy to share advice or help you find exactly what you need. The sewing machine area is especially helpful, with expert support that makes even big purchases feel comfortable and confident. My wife bought a Bernina machine from Esther, and she is a gem. The heart of G Street is the very knowledgeable staff that sets them apart from any box store. Whether you're working on a small craft or a major project, G Street Fabrics consistently delivers quality, expertise, and inspiration. Highly recommend!

    My mother recommended G Street Fabrics to me after our local JoAnn closed, and she spoke highly of…read morethe store from her years of shopping here. I wanted to continue supporting it for that reason and for its sense of community, but my experiences have been consistently disappointing. Yesterday was my final straw. I am new to sewing and come in seeking guidance on fabric selection and product education, yet nearly every visit is met with dismissive or rude customer service. The older representatives in particular often do not greet me and respond reluctantly or faintly when I ask for assistance. Help is provided, but it often feels like an inconvenience unless they are in the mood. Yesterday, when I asked a representative at the fabric counter for help understanding a product, she was short-tempered and instead told me they were closing at 5:15 p.m., despite the website listing a 7:30 p.m. closing time. The interaction felt rushed, dismissive, and disrespectful. At checkout, I asked for a bag for several small tools and fabric. The cashier said they were running low, and etc and tossed the bag at me. This type of behavior has happened on multiple visits and consistently dampens the experience. I truly wanted to like this store, but the repeated lack of basic courtesy--especially toward newer customers--has made me unwilling to return. I hope management takes these ongoing customer service issues seriously.

    I never knew this place existed until I went around Hamilton over small business Saturday…read more It's so nice to see a local craft store that's not big chain and they sell a lot of different types of fabrics and needles and have a classroom upstairs for courses. The staff was really friendly. It's a wife and husband that operate the store. I did not buy anything nor really look at the prices, but I'm sure it's probably really comparable. It's so cute and the retails space is nice, it brought me joy to walk in and I would for sure some shop if I needed materials!

Yes, totally out of the way but worth it as I wanted to visit some new-to-me states along the way. Anyway, I found Domesticity through an internet search as I was researching potential stops on my roadtrip. It turns out there is also an epic, multi-state, shop hop going on as well and Domesticity is part of it! Of course I bought the corresponding magazine and my original road trip plans quickly pivoted to visiting many more quilt shops than I originally intended. Anyway, enough about me - more about Domesticity: It is such a lovely shop in a nice neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland. I would have checked out additional shops in the area but golly was it HOT! Domesticity offers a variety of fabrics including Ruby Star Society (my favorite), many many many others, and of course notions as well. The upstairs is also beautiful and I believe that is where some classes take place? I wish I took more pictures! Regardless, I will forever be indebted to the wonderful ladies at Domesticity for very, very patiently helping me pick out fabric for an upcoming quilt retreat I will be attending. I genuinely like the fabrics they helped me select and cannot wait to see how the quilt turns out! The prices were reasonable/comparable to other quilt shops I have visited. If you're in the area, or even if you are not, Domesticity is worth the trip!

I was told one of the owners, the friendly one, is having health issues and cannot work - that is why the store is going downhill. It's definitely still worth a visit ;-).

First, Google listed the opening time as 10 a.m., but the store did not open until 11. We had driven from Baltimore to get ahead of bad weather, tried calling multiple times, and found the voicemail full. There's no website to confirm hours, so we were left guessing whether to wait. Once inside, we spent nearly two hours selecting eight fabrics for multiple projects. Many fabrics were not priced, and the single employee cutting fabric had to repeatedly walk to the front of the store to ask the owner for pricing or answers to basic questions, which made the process extremely slow. The final issue was a large-print fabric that had deep slashes running several yards into the roll, along with visible black marks. I asked that the damaged portion be cut off or that cutting begin from the other end of the roll. The owner refused and told me that if I didn't like it, I didn't have to buy it, stating multiple times that they are a "for profit store." I have over 50 years of experience buying fabric and have never been expected to pay for clearly damaged yardage. We ultimately walked out without purchasing anything, leaving eight rolls at the cutting table--well over $1,000 in sales lost. It's disappointing to see how much this store has changed. It was once staffed by knowledgeable, helpful people who wanted to assist customers. I won't be returning.
