The door is extra wide and the staff are really friendly. Shop fully wheelchair accessible. Beware when booking workshops though, the workshop area is downstairs. Great place for gifts, craft advice, mending advice especially, yarn for sale, fabric & sewing machines, embroidery yarn, threads and a range of upcycled homewears, clothing and accessories.

I came to the shop to look for a Christmas present for my Mum who loves knitting. It says open, but the door was locked. When I arrived a guy let me in who honestly looked like I’d ruined his day, I sanitised my hands and had my mask on and was looking around with my hands in my pockets. The big older man in the shop was so rude, arrogant, and sassy to me I left the shop, telling him so, to which he said “I know I am.” I had an Obby class booked which I was keeping to support businesses like this during covid, after this experience I’m looking for a refund and will never advise friends to go again.
Sadly, I went to write this and have seen many have shared my experience.

Helpful and knowledgeable, you helped me sort the needles for my lockdown project and pointed me in the right direction when I was going to buy the wrong thing! The 'text and collect' service is brilliant, thank you for running it :)

An absolutely awesome place. Inclusive workshops and drop ins full of different levels and craft classes from sewing to embroidery to upcycling, knitting and many more. Friendly atmosphere, loads of support. They also sell some craft sets and have wonderful networking events.

Fabrications is AMAZING! I did the full day introduction to sewing class and was blown away by Barley’s thoughtful and creative approach - it’s clear a lot of effort has gone into designing the course and making sure students retain the knowledge shared. I love the bag I made (inspired by Dries Van Noten) and left super inspired - armed with the core skills to start my sewing journey confidently. A delightful day!

Learnt masses on the all day Saturday class. It's the small points you need to know which make the difference. Lot more confident now to do alterations at home.

I’m a female designer who walked in to check out the shop as per a recommendation- I didn’t have both feet through the door before I was screamed out of the shop by the middle-aged male shop owner for coming in with a cup of coffee. It didn’t matter that the cup was empty because I was unable to explain that to the owner while he shouted me out. Really aggressive and totally uncalled for behavior that seems to be an ongoing issue (see other reviews) maybe fix your attitude?

Lovely indie shop, I highly recommend Fabrications! The calendar of workshops is always inspiring. And I love the fact that they do full day workshops too (rather than just a few hours), and with a focus on upcycling, recycling and mending. Broadway market is lucky to have it.

I went to the yarn shop day in conjunction with let’s knit magazine on Saturday and the shop laid on some mini knit and crochet workshops. Then if you spent more than £15 you received a goodie bag. The owner Barley Massey was very hands on and friendly As was the staff. The shop has a great selection of both yarn and fabrics and they also lay on classes and craft nights where you just turn up with your projects whether it be sewing or knitting or crochet help will also be on hand for any crafty emergencies. If you wish to use a machine then you have book in advance, the charge is £5 for the night and you have the use of their resources. I feel this is of great value as some places charge by the hour. I will definitely be returning for a class and craft night. Thanks Barley for a lovely afternoon ☺️

Fabrications taught myself and my daughter to crochet in the same class without us falling out, arguing or competing with each other - therefore they fully deserve the five stars.
Apart from great classes with excellent teachers and a fun atmosphere they also offer a fortnightly crafting club, good selection of wools, great packs to make something crafty with and well sourced items made from recycled items. All round a treasure trove of wonderful ideas with helpful and accommodating staff.
If you want any advice, learn a new crafting skill or just need some inspiration you would be hard pushed to find anywhere better; locally or otherwise.

The people who own and run the shop are very friendly and helpful, they also have patience when teaching people who are interested in knitting for themselves, crocheting or sewing.

A great craft store with a focus on recycling and upcycling materials. Loved their knitting packs: 9 small balls of yarn recycled from old knits & a pair of second hand needles in a suitable size. The scarf I knit will be a great souvenir of our visit to London. Made a visit during Broadway markets & it was surprisingly quiet in the shop. Guy behind the counter wasn't friendly, but also wasn't rude.

Unfortunately the Male working was extremely rude and unhelpful. Wanted to learn about knitting for the first time and questions asked were answered with sighs and passive aggressiveness. Really was not happy with the service and how he spoke to me. Extremely unhelpful ontop. Left feeling very unpleased. Thumbs down

Man serving asked if I had been to the shop next door (Aesop), when I said yes he told me I wasn’t allowed to touch anything in the shop! Online shops aren’t running small stores out of business, rude staff are.

Great place, I went for a sewing class and it was very good and I am now booked in for a second class. Inspiring and I like the focus on recycling/upcycling old garments. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately whilst I enjoyed the shibori workshop I did here, I paid in advance for part 2 of the workshop trusting there'd be one soon, I said I'd let them keep my money until a suitable replacement was offered, but the organised one was cancelled and there was never another evening replacement offered, and so 9 months down the line I am STILL fighting with them to get my money back for a class they never provided me with. I'm now too fed up to attend any class there. Very disappointing behaviour and against their own terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the fact that I also brought them 2 clients on the day of the first workshop! Hence 2 stars for the management rather than the workshop.
