My Racho Park Secrets... #1: F & S Fabrics Notions Department

[Debra Silverman]

I love giving and receiving gifts that are tied up with brightly-colored, reusable ribbon.  For years I traveled to Santa Monica to buy ribbon by the yard at Michael's or Jo-Anne's.   Then I discovered the notions department -- specifically the ribbons and trims -- at F & S Fabrics.  The choices are scrumptious and will help to create gorgeous, eco-friendly & reusable wrapping.  Try some hand-dyed silk ribbon to spruce up a package wrapped in a brown paper grocery bag.  Trust me, it'll be beautiful.  The buttons are great for craft projects, and the $.25 pre-cut fabric squares are perfect for making simple gift bags or larger craft projects.  F & S Fabrics, 10629 W. Pico Blvd., Rancho Park.

My wife was truly just saying she wanted to buy some nice ribbon after running out during the holidays. But where to go = now we know thanks to Debra.

Hi Debra,

I remember travelling to F&S Fabrics all the way from the San Gabriel Valley to look for fabric for my "custom" prom dress. All their stores along Pico Blvd are true treasures. I can't wait to see what you've made.
