Sewing Supplies in PS?

Anyone know where someone can pick up sewing supplies in Park Slope? Buttons, yarn, string, that type of thing?

Thanks!

    We should be that lucky. I'm surprised there isn't one farther up 5th Avenue. Here's a thread on it from a few months ago.

    You can get yarn and some buttons at Stitch Therapy on Lincoln @ 7th or at Knit-A-Way on Atlantic Avenue.

    Thread and needles and that type of notion are harder to find. Target has a little bit of basic supplies. So do some of the larger drug stores.

    Hmmm.... I think I know what kind of store I should open. I bet a Park Slope version of Purl Fabric would do really well.

    Yeah, I find it hard to believe that PS doesn't have a sewing store of some kind. I'm still waiting for the day when someone opens a store that is different from all the others. They all seem to be cookie cutter stores.

    Park Slope used to have a quilting store on 7th Ave (near 4th Street), but, sadly, they've closed. The nearest quilt shop I know of that's still open is City Quilter on 25th Street in Manhattan (you'd take the F to get there).

    If you're looking for something a little more knitting-related than sewing-related, Stitch Therapy is a good place to start. Beyond the yarn and buttons that caseopele mentioned, they also have knitting needles and crochet hooks, and a good number of books, magazines, and patterns.

    As for sewing supplies, unless you need more than a basic sewing kit for simple button-reattachment and the like, you'll probably be able to get the basics if you look hard enough in the local chain drugstores and supermarkets.

    Well it's not in PS, but take the F to Carroll street and walk to 128 Union St (towards the water)-- there you will find The Brooklyn General Store... I was there yesterday and it has all sorts of notions, fabrics, yarn, threads, a few buttons. It's worth checking out. http://www.brooklyngeneral.com/
