If there is a fabric store anywhere outside of the big-city fashion centers that has more beautiful fabrics than Les Fabriques, I haven't seen it. From lovely bridal silks in all textures, to embroidered Asian-inspired satins to traditionally sturdy tweeds in fun colors, Les Fabriques is a rarity in the sewing world - a store that loves fine fabric and cares about the tradition of sewing.
The staff are knowledgeable sewers and are always willing to give advice or guide a novice through a challenge. The store offers classes for every skill-level and carries a fantastic selection of Burda and Vogue patterns as well as other lines less well-known but no less charming. Buttons, trims and other notions fill out the inventory.
For a sewer who wants more than the typical fabric-chain selection at fair pricing, and some expert input on projects to boot, Les Fabriques is a great choice.
