"Yesterday I checked out The Calico Cat Fabric Store. I was amazed at the huge selection. Carol and Linda are terrific. They love sewing and can answer any questions you might have. The fabrics are cotton and mostly natural for quilting. The fabrics are high quality and I can also use for other sewing projects. Accessories are available too! If you want a sewing class, let Carol know. The more that inquire, the better chance of a class being scheduled."


— Deborah K.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The store is lovely . Packed with bolts of lovely fabric. The owner knows where everything is. We are sad they are 5000 miles away from home. If your in Hawaii. It’s well worth the trip to come see and shop."


— Mike H.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Finally I visited this fabric store. This place is not big, but another hidden gem for sewers! Lots of fun & good choices of fabric, including some Japanese designs. If you have a project, I'm sure you will find the one you love. If you don't have any particular targets, then you are in trouble because there are so many choices. But no worry, just ask Carol. She is very friendly and super helpful. I got more than I planned... There are meter parking just in front of the store (one way street). Please visit there with extra time to browse."

"Carol is the best!!! We stopped by here to pick up some fabrics on our way back home. I wanted to make some Hawaiian inspired masks and goodies for everyone who came to O'ahu this winter with us. Carol let us take our time with the fabrics and even made some great suggestions. She's very knowledgeable about new patterns and what's available. It was really fun to chat with her while we waited for her to cut up the fabric. I'm so excited!! She has such an amazing selection to shop from. She only opens for specific hours so check Google to ensure she's open when you want to go shop. You won't regret it!"


— Joan T.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Love the selection here! It may seem like a small space but there's a lot of treasures packed in every nook and cranny. I love the hunt and the many fabrics from all over. Carol is also super friendly and helpful. Appointments highly recommended right now during this COVID phase because only 2 people max are allowed (there might be some wiggle room if you are from the same group). Definitely one of my favorite fabric spots here."

"She's so wonderful. Lovely fabric. Call for appointment since the shop is small. I never go in with a certain fabric in mind I just shop around and buy what are hits my fancy lol. If your looking for licensed new character type , not really at this store. Hawaiian print, Asian inspired, fabrics from Japan, good options for quilting, great quality types are in here. There are a few licensed characters like some Mickey, Pooh, Retro sonic, Pokémon, minions,etc. I took a bunch of pics in case you were like me and wondering what's in there. Now you'll have some idea so make effort to go and support small business"
