My Favorite Southern CA Fabric & Trim Stores
If you live in Southern CA, there are tons of amazing fabric stores around. Every single one of these fabric stores in LA County and Orange County puts JoAnn Fabric Stores to shame in selection and price.
LOS ANGELES
Mood Fabrics
6151 West Pico Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90035
(323) 653-6663
When I had to move away from my beloved NYC Mood Fabric store, the only thing that gave me solace was knowing they would shortly be opening a LA Mood Store. Now, years later, it is still one of my favorite fabric stores to wander. The prices are high, but the diversity and quality in their selection of fabrics in unbeatable.

You can wander around the LA garment district forever searching from store to store for what you are looking for at a good price. Or you can just go here where the store is huge and well organized. Not rock-bottom prices (and they are non-negotiable like surrounding small jobbers) but you can save a lot of time.
ORANGE COUNTY
M & L Fabrics
3430 W Ball Rd
Anaheim, CA 92804
(714) 995-3178
Great prices and a hugely random selection of fabrics and trim.
My Long Sewing Machines, Fabric & Trims Co.
11662 Trask Ave
Garden Grove, CA 92843
714-537-2408
Don’t let the exterior of this place turn you off because there are treasures to be found inside! Rock bottom prices on a completely random selection of fabric, trim, buttons and zippers.
J&C Fabrics
7130 Westminster Blvd
Westminster, CA 92683
(714) 799-5519
I stumbled upon this little gem totally by accident. It’s a small store packed with great pieces of knit fabric at crazy good prices. You can also find some trim and racks of random woven fabric as well.

You should head up to my neck of the woods. We have a pretty good fabric store called the The Cotton Shop in Torrance. Beats having to schlep into downtown and brave the traffic!! I think you would like it. If your ever in the area, it’s a place to stop in and see

Ah… M&L… I grew up there. I lived across the street when it was still on Magnolia. Then, carefully wandered the flat fold aisles during the early years of its Knott location. It’s safe now, but boy, before the fire inspector came though and gave them an ultimatum, you took your life into your hands in the flat folds. So much fabric towering over you precariously perched… The $1 wall is always fun to look through.

Hello,
I stumbled upon your blog and have been desperately looking for fabric stores that offer a bit more on the modern side…not grandma fabric. I saw your selections above and was wondering if you have found any more.
Thanks

Which shop was the picture you put on Twitter yesterday? I’ve been to M&L but not the others in the OC.
