Our fourth rookie mom challenge gets you out of the house to meander the aisles of a fabric store. Can you tackle a great crafty project with a piece of fabric and some thread?
We have instructions to make some very easy projects:
- Easiest swaddling blanket
- Fake-Moby wrap (AKA the fauxby).
- No-sew shopping cart cover
- 45 other DIY projects. Done and done!
In Berkeley, we frequent Stone Mountain and Daughters. The discount fabric shop on Ashby and San Pablo is also a great choice. In El Cerrito, there is JoAnn Fabrics tucked into the plaza near Trader Joe’s.
Where do you like to go to get your fabric and crafty supplies?

After being a customer of Stonemountain & Daughter for more than ten years, and a parent for 6, I just learned that they have a small play area to occupy children while you shop. Not for toddlers who wander around, but great for 4 and up who will stay there.
I’ve been going to A Verb for Keeping Warm on San Pablo in between Actual Cafe and that cupcake shop, ever since I took a sewing class there. They are smaller, but soooo nice and helpful.
