Mimifabrics

Great selection of the quality fabric can be found at Mimifabrics. I always love visiting the shop and discover the new fabric and trims! Great customer service with fast turnaround time! Highly recommend.

AMAZING! Best apparel fabric store in the city, hands down...actually probably my favourite ANYWHERE. Miriam is the absolute nicest and always so helpful, and she stocks the most incredible fabrics and notions. Beautiful euro fabrics, including some (Rebecca Reck) that you can't get anywhere else in North America. I feel like a living art gallery when I wear my makes made from fabrics from this store :)

Mimifabrics is the embodiment of accessible chic. Miriam (the owner) is extremely knowledgeable about fabric blends, sewing tools, thread, pdf and printed patterns (she carries Ottobre magazines too!!).She helps anyone and everyone whether just learning to sew or honing an advanced skill. Her online community (Sew Let’s Talk - hosted by Mimifabrics on Facebook) is a wonderful corner of the internet, and full of thousands of helpful sewists of all affinities and skill levels!Pictured is my most recent make, featuring her recently added line of stretch knit fabric called Pearl. Any fabric I’ve bought from Mimi’s - as it’s affectionately called - has been of the highest calibre, never pilling or stretching out over time. It also washes incredibly well, as I can attest since my three children have no extra respect for beautiful handmade clothes, and yet, the stains come right out!!Invest in your garments and projects with Mimifabrics - you won’t regret a dime spent!!

I ordered online after having issue with finding decent fabric stores near me, and I'm glad I did. I am so happy with the quality of the items and speed of the shipping! Along with the care that is obviously taken while packing my deliveryI will definitely be ordering more fabrics from this store

Finally got to visit the Mimifabrics storefront and was not disappointed! Mimifabrics is a great shop for high quality knit and woven fabrics for garment making and I am so happy that they've expanded to a storefront where I can touch th fabrics before purchasing. She is constantly getting in new stock on Fridays and carries a good variety of child and adult style prints, and is conscious about sustainability and avoiding polyester in her fabrics. Myriam is also very knowledgeable about her fabrics, sewing and is very open to helping out the people who visit her shop (which is a big deal compared to other chain fabric shops in town). If you are looking for an Ottawa location with high quality garment fabrics and great service (esp for those of you who may be newer sewers or not know exactly what you want) I highly recommend you check them out! The prices are a bit higher than fabricland but you are paying for quality fabrics that will last a long time (versus most of my fabricland makes die after a few months if even). If you can make it out during their hours I highly recommend you visit the shop. :)

ETA I went recently and purchased some care bear fabric and it is lovely, just has a really nice feel to it, good quality and washes very well. Staff were very nice.ETA I met with the owner, she was very receptive to my concerns. Apparently the lack of street signage is a landlord issue so can't be helped. She said she will look into changing her set up so that customers won't inadvertently be in the shot, she also told me that filming is done on Thursdays so I can avoid going to the store on Thursdays. Based on her willingness to discuss the issues and, alter the set up, I will give them another try.First off this place is ridiculously hard to find, even my GPS was confused. It's in the back of an office building, no street signage, no disabled parking, no directions once inside the building, you just have to walk around until you come upon a closed door, not very welcoming. I honestly wasn't sure if I was supposed to walk in, knock or if this store was even open to the public.There is signage requesting customers to wear masks, no problem, except for when I got inside there was a staff member filming a fb live without a mask on. Which leads me to my next issue, it is extremely unprofessional to film in the middle of your shop during opening hours while you have customers! I felt very uncomfortable, I didn't want to be in the shot but needed some items. If gas wasn't so expensive I would have left. I can't remember feeling so uncomfortable in a store in a long time. The only reason this got 2 stars is because the lady that served me was knowledgeable and friendly.

I've been buying fabric for my own garment sewing for several years now. I can always count on top quality and on trend designs from Mimifabrics. Love the variety of substrates she offers: knits, wovens, brushed French Terry, soft sweat, softshell, waffle, challis, and so many others. She has the biggest selection of ribbing, elastic and trims by far. Always new things to try. Big fan!

THE place for all your fabric needs! Seriously, I've never seen so many fabrics, ribbons, or sewing thread than at Mimifabrics!!! Some of the most gorgeous prints and high-quality fabrics I've ever seen.Miriam (the owner) is incredible-- willing to help with anything, knowledgable about all things fabric related, and so personable and easy to talk to.If this isn't your go-to fabric store, well... time to change that!

Mimifabrics has the most incredible selection of certified organic fabrics in beautiful prints and solids. Ever since they expanded to a retail location their turnaround time has been SO FAST (sometimes shipped the same business day!). They have so many different trims and notions available, and their facebook group is fantastic for providing inspiration. I'm a big fan.

By far my favourite fabric shop. Not just because they carry the best quality and designed European knits but because Miriam goes above and beyond for her customers and genuinely loves the products she carries. The community of makers she has created is so welcoming and supportive of each other. HIGHLY recommend placing an order!
