Esther's Fabric
3 reviews for Esther's Fabric
Played hookey from work recently and ran away to Bainbridge Island with everyone who works for me. While walking towards the pub I noticed a little fabric store. Since the food and beer was calling, I made note of the location, but did not go in.
Many hours later, I stumbled out of the pub dragging two of the women with me down to that little fabric store. In the middle of a self imposed fabric buying ban and on vacation (okay hookey) so I was just popping in and see what was there. It was just a little store on an island. Probably full of quilting supplies.
But alas I was so very wrong. Silks, cashmere, the most amazing little buttons. It was tough, but I just admired and pet the luscious material. I was strong.
Or at least I meant to be strong. Really I did. I blame it on the price of the green pleated silk chiffon. Less than $10.00 a yard. How could I really pass that up? I had a twenty in my purse. That does not really count as a fabric purchase. It's pocket change really.
$96 dollars later I left the store with an amazing silk brocade, perfectly co-ordinate to match the chiffon, incredible little buttons with a bamboo motif for the chiffon (also matching to brocade) thread, and a zipper.
I felt overjoyed and oh so very weak and ashamed. I have a problem. A fabric problem. And Esther's Fabric on Bainbridge Island is my new pusher.
My Grandmothers name was Esther and she taught me to sew when I was a kid so when I saw this shop I had to go in. This is the BEST fabric store I have ever seen. The selection is amazing and the staff are very nice and helpful. Lots of odds and ends and surprises! Get on the ferries and check it out! This ferry gives Esther's fabric 5 stars!
My favorite Northwest fabric shop....like I've been in SOO many. Love the funky selection of prints. Haven't seen too many fabric shops with mussels, crabs, and cowboys to select from. I bought the mussels and crabs to make scrub tops for a co-worker. Now he tell his patient's he has "crabs" or "muscles (mussels)."
