Fabric Stores

These are the NYC garment district fabric stores reviewed on Meg's personal blog (Lindsay T Sews) over the past few years and the ones she most often recommends. She did some updating to each of the reviews when she imported them here. Now, I am continuing, updating, and expanding that list. Email me at mimi [at] mimijackson dot com if there's a particular garment center store you think I should visit and review. There are many more, but a merchant listing here would be endless and ever-changing, so I just listed the "anchor" stores here. —Mimi
