FabriclandFabricland has been selling its fabrics and sewing materials in Toronto since 1968. Although the company has diversified over the years in offering craft materials, sewing-free home decor kits, and drapery, it remains a solid-go to for fabrics in a variety of materials, including silk, wool, and cotton. There are two locations in Toronto, and many more in the GTA.

Recently Simplicity patterns were on sale for $2.20. There used to be a different brand of patterns on sale each new week. Lately I have not seen any other patterns except for 50% off which is not such a good sale. For example, Vogue used to be under $6.00 when on sale. Why are there no great pattern sales any more?

Thanks,
Dorothy

I am broken hearted as Fabricland has been closing all over the city ie North York (the one near Finch I think? I forget the street) which was huge and fabulous, the one at Yonge and Bloor. In fact other than the North York one near Yorkdale I dont know of any fabricland stores downtown any more. And I didnt even phone the north york one to see if IT is still open. Sad and kinda pissed off about these closings.

I'd usually share the same sentiment of the poor unfortunate Canadian business going out of business due to this, that, or whatever. Truthfully though, there will be no love lost if the entire chain goes under. I've had the "pleasure" of shopping at the North York location years ago, Barrie a couple of years ago and recently the Newmarket location has become my local. I can say that the stores are consistent in the dark atmosphere, disorganized merchandise and surly staff. I was privy to overhearing a customer asking for advice on starting up a sewing box for her daughter. Instead of the staff member getting excited about helping a mom get her daughter into sewing, the woman didn't take a single step forward and simply pointed across the store to indicate where the sewing boxes and notions were, with no other advice or support. I'm looking forward to JoAnn Fabrics coming up to Canada to finally put Fabricland out of its misery!!
