Fabric Barn

They have most everything for crafts. Lace, thread, fabric, buttons, ribbon, and that’s just to start! The staff is friendly and the prices are worth the circling the block for parking.

I’ve purchased fabric, party and craft supplies here about a dozen times now. Employees are helpful when you have questions or need help. Prices are reasonable and selection is pretty good. It’s a great (cheaper) alternative to Michaels or JoAnn for certain things!

Went for the ribbon. Very pleased with the low prices. Limited color selection. Didn’t find one of the colors and width that I was looking for, but was pleased with the low prices, worth the trip

This place is amazing!!! They have everything you can think of at a very reasonable price. I’m coming here before I spend tons of money at Michaels or Joanns.

Disappointed. On the no exchange policy. You can’t even see the sign. I went in looking for a certain fabric. I told her exactly what i wanted and the lady helping me said. (No. No. No. Dats not what you want. You are looking for dis) she shows me some different fabric. And says this is what you want. Not that one. As if she really knew. I said no i need this one. She said trust me i do dis for a living i know. Anyway. Me like the trusting person i am i believed her and bought what she recommended. Or better said what she knew i wanted/​needed. I get home and it was not what i was supposed to buy. So anyway i go back to the store and go to the lady that helped me. I say this is the wrong one my wife said. I need to exchange it for correct fabric. She had the fucking nerve to say «««««sorry but there is no exchange allowed «««» moves a box from the counter and showes me a sign that says no exchange. So i said i don’t Need this fabric. You told me to pick this. Remember. No no no. I only show you the fabric. The fucking nerve to lie to my face like that. I said you told me to get this after i told you no i trusted your recommendation You were wrong and now i can’t exchange your mistake. She said you can buy the fabric you need if you want. WTF… Really. You guys fucking suck big time. I had to drive a little longer but found a nicer more organized store. Literally a few cents more. But major worth it. I won’t say the name don’t know if i am or not allowed to. But don’t let these people persuade you into buying a different fabric from the one you went looking for. Thats how they get double sales. They sell you crap and then what you really need. So fuck you and your no exchange policy even when you’re the one that fucked up. Let people shop and buy what they want not your recommendations.

Woah.
This is the Ali Baba’s cave of crazy craft & fabric related STUFF. However, there’s not much actual FABRIC here which is what I came for.
I guess if you are a party planner, a wedding junkie or a drag genius, this would be mecca. Alas, I lack the imagination of Priscilla Queen of the desert and this am sad that I’ll have to find another source of light weight cotton plaid flannel.

What a hidden gem! Had no idea this place existed until a friend from Brea brought me here to grab some décor for her son’s first birthday.
It’s like going to DTLA — same low prices and similar set up without the hassle (specifically, Moskatels on a smaller scale). From baby shower, to birthday, to quincenera, to wedding, to bridal shower, to Halloween, you will find quite a few options without trekking it to DTLA. Stop here first.
Some might think it’s ghetto outside but who cares? Come for the low prices and convenience; don’t expect it to look like a neat and organized craft store (the fabric store is neater). I’m guessing they buy in bulk from smaller distributors.
Don’t let the name fool you — not much of a fabric selection. Fabric Barn is composed of about 4 shops all next door to another. Browse each one and you will find:
— fabric (1 dedicated shop, selection smaller than large chain store)
— HUGE selection of inexpensive ribbon and sewing knick-​knacks
— small selection of craft supplies (brushes, stickers, fasteners, beads, jewels, feathers)
— party favors (candy bar scoops, jars, balloons, center piece materials, jeweled /​beaded curtains, blank and decorated masks, even eiffle towers of all sizes for Paris-​themed parties)
— party décor in solid colors and themes (big selection of table cloths, paper lanterns). Anything party!
— holiday theme stuff (Valentine’s Day, St. Patty’s Day, etc)
Oh, they also had really cute birthday clothing for little girls (tutu’s, embroidered «I’m 1, 2…») at reasonable prices (less than $ 20).
There’s a showroom with custom made center pieces made on-​site. I’m sure they can make anything for a price or just browse for inspiration. Some things are not super high quality but then again, not everything at an event has to be.
Patrons consist of party planners, artsy crafty people, homemakers with little ones, average people shopping for an event.
Parking is free and easy (as long as you know how to parallel park on the street) depending on when you go. I’ve only been on weekdays so I had no problem parking out front. My friend does not recommend parking in the back lot, although I can’t remember why.
My cousin had a masquerade theme Sweet 16 and I spend $ 15 on a mask from Alin Party supply, which I hardly wore. Wish I would’ve known about this place! Huge selection of masks (really cute, too), ranging from $ 2-​$ 5! Blah! No one wrote that in the reviews when I was researching.
If you have some time, it’s worth it to pop in and see what they have. It’ll come in handy down the road.

This place is my holy grail!!! I usually skip over Micheals and JoAnns because the same items here are half the price! I’ll admit, their hours are inconsistent and limited compared to the other craft stores, but I’ve always felt something personal about this place since my mother and I were regulars.

Pretty cool craft store. When you don’t have the time to go all the way to DTLA this place is worth visiting.
They have everything from fabric, ribbon, party supplies etc… Prices however aren’t that cheap depending on what you’re looking for.
Also parking can be kind of a hassle. There’s street parking or parking in the back of the building.

I had a great experience here!
One reviewer mentioned that there is not a large selection of fabric. I don’t know where they were, but this place was big and packed to the brim with fabric.
I needed two packs of tulle and elastic for a costume I was making. The shopkeeper was nice and my total came to under $ 10. I was happy.

Fabric Barn has been open for years. It has everything you can think of for weddings, parties, crafts, etc. There is still a lot of fabric and supplies to choose from. I think the store itself, needs to reorganize or find a bigger location. It’s crampy and stuffy, and you have to be willing to spend time sifting through crates of items or squeezing past people to find what you may be looking for. The hours have always been strange as well. The place closes very early. There’s been many times I’ve driven there and it was closed without warning. There’s street parking in the front and some in the back. Be aware during the summer months that it gets really hot inside. Last summer, there was a swarm of bees in one of the aisles and I couldn’t shop for what I needed.

I know nothing of fabric or barns, but there’s a lot of stuff here, and they take good care of you. It’s a great place for women to get felt.

I have such mixed feeling about this place. I love it and hate it. They have been here forever, so many years. I’ve shopped here many times. The prices are low, usually. But you have to be careful. REALLY CAREFUL. Sometimes, you are better off with a coupon at JoAnns or Michaels. They usually have a great selection of ribbons, notions and crafting items. But, sometimes they are simply out of stock. UGH. Out of stock on regular items.
The customer service is sometimes good and sometimes not. Bring cash, as they can not always take a credit card. It’s all kind of drab and run down. Parking is tricky, unless you get lucky. Yes, I’ve made the trek there only to discover it is closed. Even after calling to verify that they are open. This is not a recipe for happiness. The inconsistency makes me hesitant to go.
Yes, I’ve gotten great bargains and have been thrilled. But too many negatives, to fully recommend it without a warning. Yes, you could find great deals but you could also be frustrated and disappointed. Good Luck.

These guys never stay open during their stores at ours. It seems like they just close whenever they feel like it. Not very reliable.

Not that friendly. Not a single smile. It was cloudy but like really? Besides that.. . they did not have 1 color I was looking for in the tulle fabric 100yd x 6in spools. I only came here because it was cheaper than 2 other places in LA that sold tulle fabric and I was too crunched for time to buy online for $ 2.25 a spool. Here it was $ 5.95

Who knows what thy have in here, it may be amazing. Don’t care anymore. I call to verify they’re open until 6:30 and that they have exactly what I need, they say yes. 6:15 the doors are locked, I call and they ask me multiple questions about what I need, tell me they have it, but hat they close at 6:30. I even told them, ‘I’m standing outside your front door…’ Her response was ‘ummmmm’ seriously? I get closing up a bit early, but when it’s 15 minutes before, I’m standing outside, and you’re wasting my time asking me questions that have already been answered, questions I asked before I drove across town! You won’t even let me in to spend $ 50 on ONE item? I tried to use a local shop, my business unfortunately now goes to Walmart.

Please update your hours on Unilocal!!! Your hours are wrong and I personally made the long drive thinking you were open till 8pm. Extremely inconvenient for your customers.

Wow love this place… has everything you can imagine… and if you park in the back… u get a discount… I will be returning… If you can imagine it… it can be found here… and the clerks are helpful and friendly.

Love coming here!
Staff is super helpful and they have a great selection of everything.

50yd of 7/​8″ satin ribbons for $ 2.39 and 3yd of 5/​8″ for 50 cents! This place is a crafter’s dream! Literally, craft Heaven!
I came upon here by accident since my lash extension appt was running extra late but I’m so glad I did. They have everything you can think of from: ribbon to fabric to strings of pearls, artificial flowers, scrapbooking supplies, school supplies, etc. If you’re planning a baby shower, quinceanera, whatever type of party, or if you make diaper cakes like me, then they have everything you need! Yes, even diapers. The business is comprised of a few storefronts so if you can’t find what you’re looking for at one location, all you have to do is walk down the sidewalk into the next door and then the door after. Not only do they have everything you could possibly be looking for craft-​related but the prices are unbeatable! Never will I go to a mainstream store again.
