United States

Georgia

Fine Fabrics Commerce, Georgia

Fine Fabrics is a garment maker’s dream, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. You could spend hours here imagining future projects, so I recommend arriving with a clear list of what you need. Otherwise, it’s very easy to get swept away by all the inspiration.

North Carolina

The Scrap Exchange Durham, North Carolina

Similar to other creative reuse centers, such as Seattle Recreative, The Scrap Exchange is much more than a fabric store. This large warehouse is filled with donated materials for all kinds of creative projects. During my visit, I found a sizable upholstery section along with bins of fabric remnants. There are worthwhile fabric finds here if you love the hunt, but I wouldn’t make it your only stop if you’re looking for something specific.

Washington

Pacific Fabrics Washington

A large fabric destination with apparel fabrics, quilting cottons, notions, and plenty to explore for different kinds of sewing projects.

Stitches Seattle, Washington

A thoughtfully curated local fabric shop filled with fabrics, sewing supplies, and creative inspiration in an approachable, neighborhood setting.

Seattle Recreative Seattle, Washington

Seattle Recreative is a creative reuse center rather than a traditional fabric shop, so its fabric selection can be unpredictable. If you enjoy discovering whatever happens to be available, it can be a fun bonus stop. If you’re shopping for a specific fabric project, I wouldn’t make it your only destination.

Japan

Tokyo

Tomato Fabrics Nippori, Tokyo

Located in Nippori, Tokyo’s fabric district, this multi-level store is a destination all on its own. Each floor caters to different sewing and garment-making needs, from playful quilting cottons to faux fur, specialty apparel fabrics, and notions. You may want to set aside a few hours to explore—just remember that purchases must be paid for on their designated floor before moving on.
