Come on in! Welcome to Esther’s Fabrics, the oldest fabric store in Washington State! We’re a 35 minute ferry ride from downtown Seattle and a short walk from the ferry terminal once you dock.

For more than 50 years customers have experienced Esther’s hometown, folksy and friendly vibe while getting advice, fabric and notions for most any sewing project. Many of you still remember the “real” Esther and her shop, one of the oldest businesses on Bainbridge Island.

Today we continue the tradition begun by Esther Fox. Stop by Esther’s when you need inspiration for your next quilt, garment, needlework or home project. Or just to say, hello, as all our friends do.

 “Handmade at Esther’s” is back this year

To help with holiday gift-giving, we offer handmade gifts from staff and friends of Esther’s throughout December.  From charming bird ornaments to woolen dog coats, there are handmade items for all tastes.  Please stop by for a look.

The End of Year Sale:  December 26 – January 8

It’s a tradition: the After Christmas Sale at Esther’s.  It begins the day after Christmas and runs through January 8, 2012   (two weeks).  Don’t miss the biggest sale of the year:  30% off regular priced fabric throughout the store. This includes all quilting cottons, fashion and home decorator fabric.

Art at Esther’s or " In the Fox Gallery"
In support of the creative spirit that moves us at Esther’s, we recently fashioned an art gallery space in the store. In Esther’s honor we call it the Fox Gallery and we invite a different artist to hang an exhibit each month. The first Friday of the month, from 6 -8 p.m., we join other art galleries in town for the monthly Winslow ArtWalk, to launch that month’s exhibits. Join us then or come in anytime during store hours to view the latest exhibit.

American Hero Quilts
Please join us at Esther’s to support the American Hero Quilt project. Since April 2011, our outstanding volunteers have pieced and quilted eleven quilts to donate to injured servicemen and women at Madigan Army Hospital in Tacoma (over 9,000 have been distributed to date).

We meet the 3rd Thursday of the month, 7 – 9 p.m. at Esther’s. We provide the red, white, and blue fabric and instruction. You need basic sewing experience and your own sewing machine.
