I love this fabric shop. They have a nice selection of quality fabrics!! I have ordered online and I have been lucky enough to visit their shop a couple times while visiting Seattle (it's only a ferry ride away). My last visit I had very limited suitcase space, so I had my purchase shipped, since they offered to delay shipping it because I was at the beginning of our vacation. My purchase arrived soon after we returned home. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you!!

They are always really patient and kind with younger customers. I needed fabric for a school project and they helped me out a ton. And their selection makes it exciting to start a new project!

Have two amazing quilters in the family and this store is the perfect shop to get gifts for them. Love the variety of quilting and sewing supplies at (Seattle) reasonable prices.
The location is perfect as it's in the block of a variety of stores within walking distance from the ferry. I will go back just to relax and shop.
Friendly staff, street parking.

Artist town with a bent to the Vintage. If we weren't on a Quilter's scavenger hunt I'd spend the rest of this warm sunny ? day immersed in the Great vibes of this laid back community. Acquired some beautiful vintage buttons creatively displayed & dispensed in tubes for my best friends quilted journal embellishments that she creates. She's gonna love these! The quilt patterns were all unique inspirations, just a little left of normal and quite appealing. Prices were affordable and sales were worthy of inspection. Enjoyed my time with the friendly staff that is more than happy to regail their patrons of the Legend of Esther.... Very enchanting experience, all told. ??☝?✨?

I placed an order (I'm from MN) and received a prompt note about my order and a question about one of the fabrics I ordered. My order was fulfilled and shipped immediately. The fabrics were exactly as they looked online and were of great quality. I'll order from this location again!

I visited this shop this morning. They had a sale, which always makes me happy. The two ladies were very glad to answer my questions about hand piecing. And...I bought some lovely fabric.

Esther's is back! It's my new favorite store again!! Woohoo!! There was a time years ago when I enjoyed going into Esther's on occasion during lunch, and browsing all the fabric, even if I didn't need anything in particular. Then something changed. It became awkward, unwelcoming, and felt almost hostile at times. At one point the clerk, (who I found out later was the OWNER of the place), was so condescending when I asked a question, I literally stopped shopping there. I've since moved off island, and hadn't given it much thought, until this last weekend when a friend and I decided to check out the quilt show nearby. She convinced me to do a little shopping afterwards and we ran into an old friend who was on her way to Esther's. We agreed to tag along so we could continue to catch up, and I am SO glad I did! It was like an entirely different place! The staff were clearly very busy with customers but they still took a moment to welcome us as we walked in, and I instantly felt a very different vibe than I'd ever felt; warm and energetic! The layout is completely different, too; so bright and open, even with the great new large classroom area. We found lots of new products like fun iron-on patches, (LOTS of patches!!), and an amazing selection of patterns, gorgeous buttons, cool purse hardware and notions. And then there were the FABRICS! I've always been a sucker for quilting cottons, and they have a fantastic selection of pre-cuts and prints. I was very inspired. But what impressed me the most was the well-curated wide selection of apparel and other fabrics! Absolutely scrumptious!! I will definitely be back! OFTEN!!

I feel a little whacko with how much I'm in love with this store and it's staff, but I'm an artist so it's to be expected. The store changes are thoroughly amazing. So bright! It's new owner is beyond fabulous. The spirit of that space is warm and welcoming, I have no hesitation now in asking Questions or seeking opinions on my projects. There's just something about the heart to the store that feels like a space meant for creativity to flourish! I genuinely have a hard time leaving...and in sticking to just a few fabrics or projects! Keep it up!!

This sweet shop is such a find! I found what I needed easily and the owner, Piper, is such a great person. They are constantly getting new things in and posting to their newsletter as well as a very active Instagram account. Add them to your next trip to Bainbridge Island.

It would be great if I could give two separate ratings for this business. The selection and quality of the fabric carried is lovely. On January 17th at about noon, I wanted to take a look at the Heather Ross and the Alexander Henry fabrics. There is a nice selection and I purchased three of the prints. So for quality I would easily give five stars. But my gosh- the customer service is incredibly poor. The woman who cut my fabric couldn't even give me a smile. She was grumpy and when asked one question gave me such a rude look. Background- I grew up working in my father's fabric shop and then had my own. Customer service is what brings your customers back. I'd rather support an online shop and have all the Heather Ross and Alexander Henry I could ever need than to come back here and get the stink eye from the employee. Who wants to feel they are an inconvenience to the staff?!
