Alma’s Fabric

Located on 5 Zabriskie street, awesome selection for a neighborhood fabric store. Friendly service, great prices and they also provide tailoring services here. The down side is that there is only street parking which sometimes makes it difficult.

I’ve been a usual here since Alma was located on Summit Ave. I had a small marriage ceremony in June and days before the big day I realized I needed some adjustments done. Bam! Done perfectly in two days. I’m always coming here too for when the school year begins. The kids are always needing the school insignia patches stitched on their shirts.

I just took two sundresses in to get altered, and although I haven’t gotten them back yet I’m going to go ahead and give five stars for the caring service and also for the fabric store portion of the business. There’s SO MUCH stuff here! sparkly trim, sequins, tulle, animal print spandex, cute fabric for kids’ curtains, five colors of disco dot fabric, zippers galore, gingham, lame’, so many different materials. I’m so happy to know this is in my neighborhood!

Went in here for the first time on a budget to fix my high school prom dress. She altered my prom dress for $ 10 FIVE years ago. The lady could not speak English well but I’m glad that did not scare me away. Still can’t forget how sweet, precise and quick she was with my dress fitting. It came out beautifully! Can’t believe I was going to take my dress to get it altered in NYC and spend a fortune.

I really had to fix my jeans before they ripped off but I did not want to drive more than 5 min. Where to go? Well I drove down central av and stopped by the bank of america branch, right around the corner you will find alma fabric, a really cozy, organized and spacious store. I think only locals know about because there was no Unilocal link and even elsewhere on the internet.
Well I took my pair of jeans here and they quickly took care of me and told me that they would be ready in 2 days. Only $ 8 for a hem, not a bad deal. This place does everything ranging from hemming to stitching to waist alterations. They also sell fabrics and thread.
Really enjoy being a customer here, my clothes are definitely looking better. I really hope this place can keep striving and getting more recognized after more people visit this place.
