1. Fabricana Imports
Richmond, BC V6X 2K4
(604) 273-5316
Category:
Fabric Stores
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
As far as quality goes, there is a slight improvement over dressew but not by much. What fabricana does have is a huge selection and well-developed specialty sections. If you're looking for fabric for dance wear, quilting, interior decorating, or…More »
2. Dressew Supply
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H6
(604) 682-6196
Category:
Arts & Crafts
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Literally the best discount fabric store ever. My latest amazing finds include drapey light icy purple jersey for $1/metre and a universal invisible zipper foot for $3.69. You won't find too much high end fabric, but you will find a good selection,…More »
3. Atex Fabrics
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G8
(604) 669-3455
Category:
Fabric Stores
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Downtown Eastside
Atex Fabrics (aka Designer Fabric Liquidators) is a fantastic little store huddled among the dirty, run down, mostly abandoned, storefronts of Hastings St. I know it looks sketchy, but it's just on the edge of the sketchy area. The bus will drop you…More »
4. Rokko Sarees & Fabrics
Vancouver, BC V5W 3A2
(604) 327-3033
Categories:
Fabric Stores,
Fashion
Neighbourhood: Sunset
Contrary to popular opinion, I think that this store is well organized - it just isn't very well displayed, due to the lack of space to accommodate the massive amount of fabric for sale. There is a great selection of silks: raw, brocade, charmuse,…More »
5. Outdoor Innovations
Vancouver, BC V3C 6R8
(604) 873-6992
Category:
Fabric Stores
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
This place is an amazing specialty fabric store. From canvas to netting, they've got it all. And the nylon - oh, the nylon! Waterproof ripstop, ballistic, and everything in between, if they don't have it, nobody does. There was even something called…More »
6. Guru Bazaar Sarees & Fabrics
Vancouver, BC V5X 3H1
(604) 327-4422
Category:
Fabric Stores
Neighbourhoods: Sunset, Punjabi Market
If you want something special with glitz, try this store. Make sure you set some time aside so you can explore the entire selection, it's worth it!
7. Chintz & Company
Vancouver, BC V6B 2W7
(604) 689-2022
Categories:
Home Decor,
Interior Design,
Furniture Reupholstery
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
It may be an interior decorating store, but I go there for the fabric downstairs. It's not cheap, but there is some fantastic quality and unique patterns. I go here when I'm looking for something special, but not ready to take the next step up to…More »
8. Gala Fabrics
Vancouver, BC V6H 3K1
(604) 731-7815
Category:
Fabric Stores
Neighbourhoods: Shaughnessy, South Granville
Yes it's expensive, but there is also a good general selection of high-end retail fabrics. This is where you go when you can't find it anywhere else, and only the best will do for your sewing project.
9. Elegance Fabrics
Vancouver, BC V6J 1H4
(604) 733-9261
Category:
Fabric Stores
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
High end designer fabric, on bolts and in small sections. Also very high quality, and a high price tag. You can buy a $200 catalog, but I'd recommend just going to the store. I'm pretty sure the small sections of fabric are fashion house remnants,…More »
10. The Cloth Shop
Vancouver, BC V6R 2H8
(604) 224-1325
Category:
Fabric Stores
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
Mainly a quilting store, they offer classes in sewing and quilting (I haven't tried them myself). There is an extensive selection of patterns, batiks, and brocades, plus notions. They have some fun pre-cut packs of different fabrics. This place is…More »
11. Fabricland
The only thing I like about fabricland is their ribbons. From decorative to grosgrain, I always end up finding the ribbon that I was looking for here. Other than that, it's a little bit of a quilting store, a little bit of a bridal section, a bit of…More »
12. Textile Clearance House - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5W 2Z4
(604) 321-7188
Category:
Fabric Stores
Neighbourhoods: Riley Park, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
This place is the bargain basement dollar store of fabric stores. There's plenty of super cheap (as in cheaply made) fabric, as well as some affordable stuffing. Since the quality of much of their general selection fabric is pretty low, I don't…More »
13. Neto French Laundry
Vancouver, BC V5T 3B8
(604) 875-8474
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Leather Goods,
Accessories
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant, Strathcona
So it may be a women's clothing store, but at this address it's also a factory outlet where they make the clothes on site... and once in a blue moon, they have a fabric sale (I think it may be an annual thing). You can get some unique fabrics for…More »
14. Maiwa Supply
Vancouver, BC V6H
(604) 669-3939
Category:
Art Supplies
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Maiwa Supply is the offshoot store of Maiwa Handprints on granville island, now in its relatively new location that's not right next door to its parent store of finished products. The store has an extensive array of fabric paints and some reasonably…More »
