5 /5 Joanie Mackowski: Absolute gem of a fabric shop. A fraction of the size of the usual craft store megamarts, it has a superb and diverse selection of apparel fabrics: linen, silk, wool, cotton, rayon, tencel, & twill, crepe, knit, chiffon, & natural as well as unnatural fibers. A fine range of colors, textures, patterns-- the selections clearly curated by individuals deeply into garment sewing. And their prices are good: often better than what one finds online.
So, I see three bad reviews here for District Fabrics, and each complains about a lack of quilting fabric. Who are these monomaniac quilters? Must every fabric store be a dedicated quilting fabric store, with bolt after bolt of dizzying colors and patterns of just a single plain weave 45" cotton textile? Theres a dedicated quilting fabric store seven miles down the road, in Kala Point, another in Kingston, more in Silverdale and Bainbridge. But stores for garment sewing are hard to find; so many went under in the 90s and 2000s with the rise of "fast fashion." Hooray for District Fabrics!
