Help Us Create a Big Map of Local Fabric Shops

Posted by: In: Good Ideas| fabric

One of the things I have started to do when I travel is to seek out local craft and fabric shops. So I decided it was time to put these places on the map. So I present the big bad map of local fabric and sewing shops. I need your help to fill it in. I have listed a few places that I have been. Thanks to Yelp I learned about Craft O Rama and made a stop there last week when I was in Austin. I am thinking we might need to add Yarn and Knitting stores too - I am not sure if that should be a separate map or not.

I want this map to be dedicated to local and independent fabric shops across the US! Please leave a comment below with any fabric shops that we should add to the map. Or you can visit the map and add a shop - I think I have it set up so that anyone can add a shop.

I’m originally from Ohio and am so overwhelmed by all of the little fabric stores in NYC that I haven’t stepped foot inside a single one of them since moving here 3+ years ago. So I was veeeeery excited to find out about this map. But as I started zooming in, I thought, “If the one fabric store pinned in Midtown is Mood, I’m going to kill myself.” And of course it was. Argh!
