Sew Special Maui
Kahului, Hawaii · Since 1978
Maui's favorite fabric and textile destination since 1978, offering local and imported quilting fabrics and classes.
Sew Special Maui has been a fixture in Kahului since 1978, long enough to have become, by most accounts, Maui's favorite fabric and textile destination, a title earned over decades rather than claimed overnight. The shop mixes local Hawaiian fabrics with imported quilting cottons, giving shoppers a real range between island-specific prints and more universal quilting stock.
Sashiko supplies are a notable specialty here, appealing to quilters and stitchers interested in that traditional Japanese running-stitch technique, which isn't something every quilt shop bothers to carry. Sewing classes and notions round out a shop that's clearly built its identity over decades of steady, local service rather than turning over its focus every few years.
Nearly fifty years in one Maui town is the kind of longevity that speaks for itself; if you're on Maui and sashiko or a mix of local and imported fabric is what you're after, Sew Special has had a long time to get it right.
