The Cloth Pocket

Fabulous selection! Nicole has the goods! She is a huge supporter of the local quilter/​sewist scene. Shop local peeps!

Swoon-​worthy and SUPER tidy selection of fabric! From double gauze, chambray, knits, to quilters cotton. Patterns and notions are edited and super interesting. I think what I love best though is the welcoming, laid back vibe of the shop. Pocket Party or Make and Take night is a must for just kickin’ it with some cool ladies who sew. They keep it pretty real. As for price points, I think they’re way reasonable. I’d much rather pay a little more for quality and killer selection than have to waste time digging aisle after aisle of mediocrity at a national chain for something sort of interesting.

This is a cute store with quality quilt fabrics. They Have notions, patterns and templates.
They’re easy parking at this store and it’s in a very trendy locations.

How do I love thee, The Cloth Pocket? Let me count the ways.
I placed an online order on a Friday night and received it on a Tuesday. I love it when that kind of thing happens! Beautiful selection, great prices.

I don’t sew, but I get all my pocket squares here.

Great selection. Helpful and well informed. Plus they’re fun.

Super awesome selection and super nice staff. Go here folks! You’ll find inspiration in all this amazing fabric!

I like this place a lot. Their inventory is bigger every time I go in. Most recently they told me they’re expanding their apparel inventory, which is needed in this town. They already have a great selection of cottons, oilcloth, stuff like that. Their focus is on fabrics, so not the place for you if you need more obscure supplies.

I have to say, this is probably one of my favorite fabric stores of all time. It’s not a terribly large shop but what it has is perfectly curated to modern sensibilities. So no, you’re not going to find granny calicos or Laura Ashley-​esque motifs, but what you will find are modern geometrics, interesting novelty prints, a wide assortment of chambrays, and some pretty awesome knits. I highly recommend!

What a rad shop! Let’s start by saying, I don’t sew, knit, quilt– nada. I was visiting this fabric store with a friend and was blown away by the selection! Think of all your artisan girlfriends, you know the ones; fashion forward, fine taste, observant, tactile like babies– they want to Feeeeeel the fabric, your hair, animals, everything! Well imagine they stocked a store with reckless abandon, tiny unicorns in jade encrusted tea cups, the color wheel in technicolor, clean crisp lines, knowledgeable shopkeepers who are passionate about textiles, THAT is this place. Check it out if you make stuff or just need cool fabric. Make me something? My fave color is yellow. Thank you!

Such a great little spot filled to the gills with pretty, funky, modern fabrics. Best selection of chambray in town. A small but really cool selection of art gallery knits too. I mainly sew casual kids and women’s clothing as well as bags and while I am not a quilter they have a great selection of fabric for so many sewing projects. Not just your granny’s quilting cottons (although lots of quilting cotton.) this shop is also kid friendly so no mean old lady’s shaming you would needing to haul your kiddos in (I obviously try to leave them with dad when I come but I am never made to feel bad or like its a big safety hazard like at some places. Sometimes they also have mimosas on Saturdays.

I want it all. A world away from the overwhelmingly large but crap selection of big box craft stores lies this little slice of curated cloth ecstasy. They don’t have every kind of fabric — nothing sheer, silky, or ruched, but what they have is fun and funky. The things you make will get a million compliments.

A friend and I stopped in here today to look at fabric for one of her projects, and honestly, I was truly charmed by the abundance of colorful patterns, and the warmth of the owner and her staff. Both of the ladies we encountered were not only helpful, but welcoming and genuinely both interested, and passionate about the shop. My friend easily found just what she was looking for.
They not only offer a lot of different fabric pattern options, but a lot of different options such as cut directly from the bolt, or pre-​cut fabric in yard lengths or quilt squares. They also apparently just started offering notions and are going to put them out on display soon. Anyways, this is a great shop, and we had a fantastic experience today — five stars!

When I walked in to The Cloth Pocket I was very impressed with all the cool looking fabric to select from. I’m new to the sewing hobby. I have one basic sewing class from Stitch Lab and two throw pillow cases under my belt. Being new to the hobby, I was not sure of everything I was looking at. With 5 minutes till close, the patient person behind the counter taught me all about jelly rolls and fat quarters. I bought one yard of the coolest fabric I’ve ever seen in return for the lesson. She gave me a 10% discount for being a student signed up for a quilting class at Stitch Lab. I thought that was very cool. Thanks again for the lesson. I’ll be back for some of that calico colored fabric for my quilting class.

Adorable place with some GREAT finds! the only reason I have this at 4 stars as opposed to 5 is because the overall inventory and selection is a bit light. I would LOVE it if they took their fabulous sense of style and doubled the inventory… that way I would make it more of a regular destination as oppose to stopping by only when I am nearby. Hope this helps you all!!! Great store!

You’ve been to those restaurants where you think, «this makes me want to learn how to make vichyssoise.» (okay, maybe not; I just wanted to use a fancy-​sounding word.)
And you’ve been the spectator at a marathon and you think, «this makes me want to try running.» (okay, maybe not; but you see where I’m going.)
And now you can go to Cloth Pocket and think, «this makes me want to sew.» (but this time it’s totally true. You will want to SEW ALL THE THINGS!)
I mean, first it’s just a cute little pocket of a place. I’ve been twice so far – once before it officially opened and for yesterday’s Grand Opening. Everyone always has a smile on their face, from customers to workers. If you’ve got little ones, there’s little chairs and toys to help occupy them, right by the beautiful big window.
But the piece de la resistance is the fabric. Holy crap, y’all, this stuff is ADORABLE! I mean, seriously, patterns with kitties on them, with bikes, birds, buses, tractors. All SORTS of varieties of things. It’s soft and lush, it’s oil cloth, it’s linen. It’s everything. I’m not kidding, every time I’ve been in there I want to sign up for sewing lessons that day.
You quilters and sewers and crafties – get your butt there yesterday. You will DIE of adorableness.

I found my new fabric destination! The Cloth Pocket is exactly what I’ve been looking for in selection of AMAZING geometric prints and so on. As soon as i walked in, all of my «projects» I’ve been waiting to work on due to lack of inspiration smacked me in the face. So now I’ve got work to do… So glad I stumbled into greatness.

This place is ADORABLE! So many tempting cottons to sew anything with! I’m not much of a quilter but this store may flip me that way. In spite of my snobbish fashion fabric sensibilities, I’ve fallen in love with so many of these great novelty prints. Ah heck, I’ll make a sickeningly cutesy dress and I know everyone will compliment it. The owner has quite the eye! She just nails it. I’m won over.
Hot tip: linen-​woven cotton solids from India are just so haute and come in colors that are so right now.

Oh, dang. Another fabric shop in Austin intent on making me spend all my hard earned (new word: harned) cash on the most gorgeous, adorable, and unique fabrics. From Echino to cotton prints to knits, I’m in big trouble. Walking through the front door, the build out immediately causes one to forget that you’re in, frankly, a sad little strip under 183. Gorgeous wood, steel, and FABRIC sent me into quilters heaven.
The very lovely sales girl offered me tea or water upon my arrival and then I dove in. I’m looking forward to seeing the new inventory as it comes in and if I may suggest keeping a Bota box on hand? After a glass of wine, the average customer spends 30% more. Ok, I made that up. That might just be me.
