Best of Boston

1997 Best Fabric Store

The Fabric Place

The ad reads, “New England’s Largest Selection of Fabrics,” and they are not kidding. Started by twin sisters in 1946, this store has grown to include way more than fabric. Lampshades, pillow fillers, knitting supplies, curtain hardware, craft supplies, and an endless array of remnants and bolts fill the sprawling space.
