A little gem, hidden in NE Calgary. If you’ve got a sewing project coming up this is definitely the place for you. From the outside, it really doesn’t look that impressive, but once through the doors it just keeps going, and going, and going… two floors full of just about every fabric and notion imaginable! They are more than happy to help you out — just ask! With so much to see, I think you would need Harry Potter’s magical Marauder’s Map to know where everything is. My tip to you is to make sure you have the time to wander around, have a good look high and low. Amazing treasures await the avid crafter/designer/textile lover!

There is nothing this store doesnt have. You will need a whole afternoon to see everything. The only problem i have with Fabric Depot is they dont have prices on anything. The old guy at the front will make up a price on the spot, and then next time he foregts what he charged you and will make up a new price… sometimes its double… hes all over the place.

Walking in here is like entering the enchanted forest of the sewing world! There are all sorts of flowers, and jewels, and I don’t even know what, adorning the walls of their showroom. Its almost mesmerizing. Its hidden away in the commercial area right behind Smashburger. This is a wholesale business but they are open to the public. You can buy in large quantities like entire rolls of lining and various sundries that you use in sewing or just pick up one of the trinkets on the wall if that suits your fancy. The staff were very friendly and quick to put together my order. They weren’t busy when I came in so they had three people helping me to get me out super fast. Great customer service.

Overall a very intimidating store unless you know what you’re doing. It is VERY large, yet quite cramped. They have thousands of different types of fabric, so if you can’t find it anywhere else in Calgary, you’ll probably find it here. It’s in a kind of sketchy area, and the store itself is a little musty and creepy — it seems to be a repurposed office space or something of the like. I can’t comment on the service, as I didn’t buy any fabric when I visited(too overwhelmed). Someone greeted us on our way in, but other than that we were not acknowledged. Go in knowing what you are looking for if you want to make any sense of this store. They will certainly have what you need(and more. MUCHMORE). note: I didn’t notice any quilting fabrics in the store, only fashion and utility fabrics.
