Sew Brooklyn

There was a time when downtown Brooklyn aka Fulton Street was over-run with fabric stores selling all types and quality of fabrics. Those days are long gone. With all the development and rent hikes most of the stores closed down. One of the last hold outs is FULTON FABRICS @ 398 Bridge Street off the Fulton Street Mall.

None too pretty on the outside, which is lined with barrels of cheap fabrics sometimes for as little as $1 a yard, it is the only one left on the strip. Once you enter the store and take the time to look around it it only then that you realize what you have stumbled upon.

In addition to finding simple cottons and linens and rayons in some amazing prints and colors this place offers mostly upholstrey fabrics at all levels of quality and price. The photo I have attached is a sample of what they carry, but more importantly shows the higher range in pricing, which runs from $1 yard to no more than $16.00. Many of the fabrics run only $3.00 a yard and they even stock cotton sheeting fabric, which is hard to find, at 105 inches wide for about $3-$3.99 yard. So worth the trek downtown!
