My name is Electra and I want to thank all you ladies & guys for your input and in making it possible for me to open this shop. When I started collecting it was so hard to find anything. This prompted me to create a place where everyone from quilters to designer’s could find lots of interesting textiles, in good condition, in one place. Some of these textiles have brought up happy experiences during my life (hence the Burp). I hope when you come to the Burp it will evoke something in you. My Grand Opening is this coming weekend October 24th, 25th, 26th 11am to 7pm. We offer validation for the first hour in our building and 20% off over $100. Happy Sewing!! Urban Burp/Rare Vintage Fabrics, 170 Columbus Ave @ Pacific, SF 94133 - 415-399-8761

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!

A friend was in the store yesterday (July 20, 2008 for the record) and here’s her report: I was looking at a fabric and remarked to the owner, “This looks just like the curtains my mother had in the living room when I was a kid.”

Owner: “That’s a burp. When something is jogged out of your memory.”
