Great store. I went for fabric, of which it has a limited selection compared to big stores in the garment district, but still I found something I could use. The fabric takes up one floor, the yarn takes up another, and then there are the art supplies, the party supplies, and all the great 99-​cent-​type knickknacks that make this a very fun shopping experience. I left with a lot more than I expected (a scarf, a coloring book) and will definitely come back when planning my next children’s party. It had the best selection of cake toppers and cupcake wrappers and fake flowers and little stuff like that that I’ve seen!

Went there on 12.26. Very rude staff members. From the manager eating soup on the side and not addressing the needs of the store. And the brother who just said no when my sister asked him to cut fabric. No explanation. Just no.
Finally after being asked why like 3 times, he explained that the store only cuts fabric if they can ensure that is a certain amount left after the cut. But then he sends us to the useless manager who states that it can’t be done.
So my sister picks out another fabric with even less on the roll AND THEY CUT IT… what the hell? Totally against the policy they just stated. By that point we just said forget it and got the hell out.

The expanded yarn department in the basement is full of inspiration. Staff is somewhat inefficient.

I recently purchased a sewing machine for my daughter there. The service was excellent! I am also going to take advantage of their free sewing class and perhaps sign my daughter up for classes!

I was impressed by the selection of everything arts and crafts. Michaels has better prices for the yarns but this place also has a big selectionof facbric at reasonable prices. I just wish they had parking…

The new Michael’s at Gateway Mall may be some competition in the crafts department, but I think Save A Thon’s selection and prices in the sewing and knitting areas will keep a lot of neighborhood people from bothering to make the drive over there. I love the renovated downstairs yarn area – so much more than before! FYI, show your Brooklyn Public Library card and get 10% off non-​sale items (

Thank goodness this store exists because there is no other place to get yarn in the Bay Ridge or Sheepshead Bay area. Truly astounding. I’m grateful to the posters who informed me that yarn is sold here. The staff were friendly, but the store is in need of better organization. A good selection of yarn may be found downstairs. I think the layout might work best if the yarn and sewing items were nicely organized downstairs, while the other miscellaneous household items be displayed nicely upstairs. The store looks cheap and disorganized and it doesn’t have to. It just needs someone with a good sales & marketing eye to set things right, and more appealing to customers. And it’s terrific that they offer crochet classes because no one else around is offering that. This store is a wonderful find for we locals.

This store is just about the only one of its kind in this end of Brooklyn and it’s vastly improved over the last few months. Seems that that old management is out and a new, more forward thinking, manager is in. Upstairs, the fabric department has always been good for wearable fabrics and great for home décor fabrics. The prices are unbeatable — I covered 6 dining room chair cushions for under $ 5! The selection of buttons and trims is adequate. The cheesy housewares seem to be gone in the basement, replaced by a vastly improved and well-​stocked yarn department, cake decorating supplies, and a teaching area. Good selection of Red Heart, Bernat, Caron, and Premier/​Deborah Norville yarns at reasonable prices. Main floor has a good stock of craft supplies, storage pieces, floral pieces, and interesting odds and ends. Staff is very polite and helpful. The manager needs an office where he can yell at suppliers privately instead of doing that on the sales floor.

Great store especially for home décor. I got so many vases and art work to design my apt and everyone loves it and think I paid much more than what I did. Staff is friendly and helpful. There is upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs has thread and sewing materials as well as fake flowers so if you are the artsy type or the do it your self kind of person you will enjoy this shop. Check it out!

I really enjoyed this store, if you like creating things, improving your home, fabrics, and baking they have it all. The experience was fun and having a Unilocal deal for the store made it all the more interesting to shop. I found exactly what I want and a few other stuff I thought were cute. I would absolutely shop there again.

The nastiest and WORST customer service EVER. I purchased a groupon to take a sewing class at the store. I thought it was going to be a nice experience because I am on winter break. Take into consideration that there is no website, and no way of knowing when the sewing classes take place.
I called to see when the classes take place. Stephanie, the person who spoke on the phone told me that the classes take place on Tuesdays. Since it was a monday, I tried to sign up for the class on the next day. She told me I could not. Upon asking her why, she said, «Well, I can’t just put you in the next day.» Then I said, is there any indication on the groupon saying such? She said, I don’t work for groupon, do you want the class, yes or no?
I asked to speak with the manager after she told me that I started talking nasty.
I finally signed up for the class after calling back a little later. Follow-​up review coming soon.

If you’re looking for different materials and colors of fabric, and for a good price then you should definitely visit here. The cost is around $ 3 – 10 for a yard for different materials. I got a burgundy and mint (?) fabric for like $ 3 a yard each. However I don’t think they have floral (well I wasn’t able to find it).
They also carry other stuff, like baking supplies, fake flowers, yarns, etc.

not a bad place. decent selection of fabrics although I wish they had more. decent prices! the employees aren’t exactly as approachable as I were hoping (they dont really seem willing to come help you and I’ve been to this store twice. my first trip wasn’t exactly the best) I can suggest it to others who live in the area but I’m sure there’s better places with a bigger selection and variety

I am new to sewing and was having a hard time finding a store that sold fabric near my apt. I didn’t really feel like going all the way to the garment district. I found save a thon after buying a sewing machine on creigslist and asking the buyer if they had any suggestions. The one in Brooklyn seems to have a better selection of fabrics. If I lived in Brooklyn I would go there all the time! I went to the one on 3rd ave yesterday and wasn’t impressed. However, what they did have was in my price range. The front of the store has $ 1 fabric racks, then inside the majority of their selection is about $ 2.99– 5.99/yard. Upstairs they have more craft supplies. Also, I was hoping to get information on their sewing classes, but apparently the ONE person who taught it quit. Overall, I will return.

What surprised me most about Save A Thon was how its name says it all. The prices range from fair to outstanding, and that’s not the only one the reasons to go there. There’s also this great balance between the store feeling cozy and one-​of-​a-​kind, and also being chalk full of an amazing array of product. AND, from what the extremely nice sales lady told me, they have six-​week sewing classes for $ 150! I would totally recommend that to any of the many friends I have who are needle and thread challenged. All in all=amazing!!!

Good selection of fabrics and fair prices.
Very very slow customer service — be prepared for your check out to take twice as long as your shopping!

First off this place is very spacious and well put together. Their selections are vast and prices are reasonable.
Staff was nonexistent for help but I didnt exactly need any.
There are free sewing classes, free cake decorating classes and more. Check then out and see what they got fot you.
Not sure on their cash/​credit policy because I paid cash.

I like save a thon for the the large sized store, filled with all sorts of fun goodies.
They have some sewing classes and cake decorating classes and such.
A good selection of cheap yarn, and a GREAT selection of fabric, indeed. I could get lost just browsing their fabric. They also sell knitting machines.
Very cool store.

I just woke up one morning and decided that I needed to learn how to sew. After enduring a couple of overpriced lessons I found Save a Thon. $ 150 for 6 classes once a week. Cant beat that!
Megan rocks! She’s very patient with the slower learners and gives them their due time. She manages this w/​o holding back those of us with a touch more know how. I haven’t had class with any of the other instructors so I can’t tell ya bout them.
With only about 8 people in each class so you get plenty of attention. 3 weeks in and I’m nearly finished my project. Sign up and you wont be sorry.
I cant speak to the actual store. I’m not into the craft crap but it looks like an abundance of yarn and bows and ribbons if that’s your thing.

I have NOT been here yet but just called asking for the sewing classes…
$ 150 for 6 classes, one a day a week, each classes is 90 minutes. NICE best deal I’ve seen in NYC so far for sewing classes.
