About Us

How many of you have walked into a fabric store and felt that familiar, uncontrollable urge to buy a new fabric to add to your "stash", not because you have a definite project in mind for it, but because you're a basically a collector of fabrics?

Better be careful, next thing you know your hobby might turn into a business!

That's basically our story, a fabric collection that got, well, more than a little out of hand. We are a small, internet-only fabric shop, that began in the attic of a home and quickly overflowed. Now Favorite Fabrics' home is in the Southtowns Business Centre, in a hundred-year-old building that parallels the train tracks that run through Orchard Park, a suburb of Buffalo, NY. We've been told that at one time it was a basket factory. In any case, it's a nice feeling to be in a building that's so full of history (and probably a mystery or two).

In case you're wondering what sets us apart from the many other online fabric stores, we think it's the fact that when we show you a fabric, we also show you all the coordinating fabrics for it; not only those from the same collection, but crossing over to differnt manufacturers. It's the next best thing to shopping in person. If we're not sure if a fabric coordinates well or not, the staff votes on it, so you're sure to be getting "good advice".

But if you ask our customers what it is that we do best, they will tell you that it is our personalized customer service that keeps them coming back again and again. (Read what our customers say about us.)
