Fabric Shopping in Honolulu

Last week I was in Hawaii with my family celebrating my parents’ 40th anniversary. So of course Natalie and I had to do some fabric shopping. We ended up driving by Fabric Mart on our way back from driving around the island. Luckily they were open until 7pm so we had time to go back to our hotel in Waikiki and take a quick shower before we went back to shop.

Fabric Mart has a parking lot, which is great because street parking in this area is a bitch. Once you walk in the store you see tons of Hawaiian print fabric! It was around $6/yd for cottons and $4/yd for poly cotton. They also had rayons and prints. The whole front of the store was really dedicated to Aloha fabric.

Besides your typical Hawaiian prints they had a lot of novelty Hawaiian Prints. My sister and I both picked up 3 yards of this fabric.

They also had some funny stuff like this Asian styled Snow White fabric.

The store also had a lot of special occasion fabrics.

And a large section upstairs with quilting, fleece, and home decor fabric.

I ended up taking home 3 yards each of a novelty Hawaiian print and a more traditional but modern print. A post on my Hawaiian fabric haul is coming soon!
