Fabric Planet

I’ve been going to fabric planet in downtown for probably 5 – 6 years now. Although the person in charge seems to always change, each new person is just as pleasant as the last. The person who I currently speak with there is Jacob. He’s a very nice young man who tries to work with you on prices although the fabric prices are already affordable. I usually buy stretchy knit, lace and chiffon at this location. I also always check out their zipper and appliqué boxes. They are the first stop I make in downtown before any other fabric stores!

Great to work with, and lots to choose from. Both stores have lots to look at as far as fabric goes. The Venice store or the downtown location. Which has moved and is getting a new number you can ask for at the Venice location

I was walking by and something caught my eye.
A bolt of beautiful fabric with a raised flocked print.
«How much per yard?»
Friendly guy– «$ 2″
“Sold! I’ll take a yard and a half!»
I know for certain that this would normally go for 4 or 5 times that much at JoAnn’s or some other fabric store.
Fabric Planet’s a small store. The same size as most of the open-​storefront fabric places in that immediate area. I’m not sure if some of the other reviews are really for this place.
A hand-​written sign advertised 99cents a yard, but that turned out to be only for some of their solid color cotton bolts. Which is a great deal.
Nice folks and their prices will definitely make me stop by again to check their inventory.
Not sure what I’ll be making so for now, it’ll go in my stash box until inspiration hits.

Call ahead to make sure they’re open. I was told «something came up» and that’s why the guy hadn’t opened the store yet. Very unprofessional!

Best place to go for fabrics if you’re in downtown. They have a great selection! Lots to choose from and amazing customer service. Very helpful and friendly people. Prices are fair.

The staff goes above and beyond to make you happy. They also have a really wide selection and things are organized so nicely that it’s easy to find what you want. I highly recommend this place!

It was ok. Prices comparable. The fellas were really nice and accommodating. I was overwhelmed a bit, it is worth a shot to visit if you cannot find what you need anywhere else DTLA.

My FAVORITE DTLA fabric store. They always have what I need, and if they don’t, they go out of their way to help me find it. Prices are great, products great, people great!!!

Love this place. Great quality fabrics great selection and amazing customer service. I’ve been shopping here for several years and they have helped me carry the fabric back to my studio on more than one occasion. They’ve brought fabric from their other store in Venice to downtown the same day for me. And they always offer a fair price. What more could you ask for in a local store. They are well organized and very nice. I rarely go elsewhere.

Owner is rude and abrasive.

We had a great experience with Jacob and his staff. they were friendly and accommodating without being pushy. Jacob went out of his way to find the fabric we wanted even donning his helmet and jumping on his bicycle to pick up the fabric and bring it back, carrying the bolt over his shoulder! Good prices nice people!

In a sudden burst of crafty madness, I stopped in at fabric planet after seeing that their polar fleece was on sale. Hah.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get any names, but everyone that assisted was very helpful. The fabric selection seemed pretty good, and they had a small section devoted to notions and such. They do accept credit card, but as is most places in the fabric district, you can avoid the sales tax if you pay cash – totally worth the additional ATM surcharge if you’re buying a lot, which is conveniently located in the next shop down.
Prices overall seemed very reasonable here, and I’d definitely stop by before going to JoAnn’s or Michael’s.

Great place, but it moved from 9^th street months ago. It is now (as of 7÷31÷2012) at the corner of 8^th and Santee. We learned this after hiking to the old and scarier location!

Best fabric selection in the WORLD. And Im really note exaggerating.
I havent been to the one downtown but I live close to the one in Santa Monica and the selection, staff, everything about it makes me so happy inside. I am super A.D.D so picking out fabric and making a decision usually gives me anxiety but this place is ridic easy and amazing.
6 stars if I could.

This review is for Jordan and Cecilia at the Venice location. These ladies are life savers!!! I cannot thank them enough for saving my bridesmaid’s dress. I had a wardrobe disaster on the day of my sister’s wedding. My dad accidently burned a hole in my dress while ironing it :(
Jordan was very quick to pull fabric options and she knew exactly what was needed and the pair pulled through in a very short timeframe (30 mins!). I was truly amazed. They were so confident in what needed to be done it completely put my mind at ease and when we got the dress back I was stunned. It was beautiful and everyone thought the sash that was added was intentional! We are so lucky to have spotted the store driving past as we are not locals and just happened upon the place. THANK YOU so much!

This review is actually for the Venice Fabric Planet. It’s an awesome fabric store local alternative! They have some amazing one-​of-​a-​kind trims and bolts there.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have quite *exactly* what I needed in terms of hard tulle, and don’t expect to get it in. Despite this lack, I will definitely be returning there soon for all their other amazing stuff!
Very friendly and helpful staff who seemed genuinely interested in what I’m working on. They’re also selling little fabric pieces and earrings by local artisans. There’s a tailor on premises as well.
A very cute dog was also in there (one of the employees’). A bonus for me.

Jordan and his crew at FP are awesome! The prices are really off planet. If you have a project stop here first always as they might have what your looking for a super good deal. Things go fast tho, so do not wait on a roll or buying, made that mistake and was very sorry I went shopping more.
I am so happy they opened in Venice Beach now as well, bring down the prices of the super expensive places that have the same stuff.
Also his dad has a trip place that rocks as well and its near by. Ask him how to get to it.
Happy sewing!
