Crafty Fabrics

Crafty Fabrics at the Jersey Shore has built its name on value — first-quality cotton fabric at discounted prices, which is not a combination you find everywhere, since discount usually means seconds or overstock rather than the good stuff at a fair price.

The shop runs quilting classes and open sewing sessions, so if you want to work on a project surrounded by other quilters rather than alone at your own kitchen table, there's a standing invitation to do that here. Patterns and notions round out the shelves for whatever else your project needs.

If you're anywhere near Brick and you like to stretch your fabric budget without settling for lesser fabric, this is the shop worth checking before you pay full price somewhere else, and worth staying for a class once you're already in the door.
