I’ve been in this establishment 3 times. It is owned by a Haitian Gentleman who knows his fabrics better than any Joann fabric employee I know.It is a small space but it’s packed with hidden surprises and gems.They have a very small selection of sewing patterns, and the ones they carry are outdated, so this isn’t the place to come for inspiration.They have the necessary ribbons, and fancy accessories. Their button collection is not extensive however they carry the necessities. I find their gems and imitation crystals a little pricey so I shop elsewhere for those.The charm of this delightful shop is hidden in the selection of this mans chosen fabrics he has selected to sell. The prices are below cost and he just doesn’t seem to realize that he is selling above quality lace, suede, leather, and cotton at prices that are shockingly cheaper than any other store I have ever been to.The other charming characteristic, is this mans extensive knowledge, of what fabric to use, for what kind of style of clothing you’re trying to make without a pattern.This lovely man also doesn’t hold back in telling you about, which fabrics are on sale; which also just blows me away.Since I have been in this store more than once, I believe my review is an accurate reflection, of what this store represents, as well as offers the local public!

I sew with mostly natural fabrics (cotton, linen, wool) and I prefer this store to all the downtown fabric stores and Joanns. They have a beautiful selection at extremely fair prices and the Haitian man who runs the store is so knowledgeable. He will direct you to any items on sale which is rare! He gave us expert advice on which linen to buy for my husbands tailor-made wedding suit. Its not hard to support local businesses when theyre cheaper than the box stores and you get better service.

I am not a Florida resident so I’ve had to order my fabric via telephone. On two occasions, I felt that the bulk order I’ve placed were not abundant based on the ordered quantity. So, I decided to order in person while coming back from my honeymoon.I asked the owner for 40 yards, he presented what he claimed to be 30 years of rolled fabric and wanted to cut an additional 10 yds from another roll. I asked him to unroll the “30” yards so I can ensure that I’m getting what I pay for. He refused to unroll it. His assistant then told him to place the roll on the machine that can measure and count the yardage, he then refused her request. I proceeded to tell him although I am a firm believer in keeping money within my Haitian community, I don’t think I should be a victim for it. Any reputable fabric store knows the standard procedures for the sale of fabric and maintaining customer satisfaction and the store’s integrity. This was foreign to Mr. Appollon.

Beautiful fabrics at unbeatable prices. Mr. Apollon is a quiet, but super helpful, and friendly person. Been shopping there since I was a teenager in art school. ❤️ this place! The neighborhood, Little Haiti, is not upscale, but it is full of vibrant culture and history if you get to know the people.

Despiste covid restrictions the one showed the fabrics I was looking for. He even gave free swatches. There is a walgreens near where you can park and walk less than a block until there.

I love this place to get basic fabrics and trimmings. The neighborhood is not the best, but the owner is super sweet and worth going there.
