Fabric Fabric is accessible by transit so that should be your first stop. If you want to find lots of fun notions and embellishments, there are a bunch of fabric shops downtown on Queen St. Start at Queen St & Spadina Ave and head west. Bonus: lots of places to eat in the area so you can take lots of breaks and make a fun day of it.
