Nur Jahan Fabrics, LLC

I stumbled upon this small but decent place. The prices are reasonable and affordable. The two men are very nice and helpful. There aren’t many fabric stores in Brooklyn and this one is great enough to stop by and check out. It’s small but they have what I’m looking for.

You peruse the bargain fabrics outside. Some are garish, some are actually decent and useful. Inside, the air-​conditioned main store is packed to the rafters with fabrics of all sorts. The selection is decent for the size, and there is a good amount of African prints. You circle the store in about 20 minutes.
You’ve got a special project in mind and grab a cow-​print canvas and some flashy African print, a number of buttons, and some foam. The foam is pricier than most everything, but then again, it’s always oddly expensive everywhere. However the staff is friendly, and offer you some better prices on the fabric. Awesome. You’ll be back. The prices warrant some more arts and crafts.
If you’re looking for something in particular or they run out, they might be hiding the backup in the basement. Just ask, the staff is friendly. Surprisingly they don’t have upholstery needles. Just about everything else (not a huge button selection, but ok) –ribbons, thread, needles, grommets, etc… It’s awesome having this store in the neighborhood.

Small fabric shop on Fulton (between Nostrand and NY Avenues). Very nice guys run the shop and were very helpful. Bought some pretty cotton gauze fabric to make quick summer skirts for a very cheap price (mostly $ 3 — $ 8/​yard). Got nice deals on notions too (ribbons, thread, elastic, etc). The merchandise here is very basic and because of the small size of the store you won’t have tons to choose from, but there are some nice African print fabrics here. Mostly polyesters but other gems if you’re willing to search. I only needed about 15 minutes to get through the whole place and it was a pleasant little journey. There are so few fabric stores left in Brooklyn that I’m happy to find any that I can, no matter how small. I’m happy to give them my business and keep them open and thriving in Bed-​Stuy.
