Found A Gem in Town ~ Fabric Shopping 寻宝记~ 布料篇

I bought most of my fabric through online shop and occasionally from the local textile shops like Nagoya Textiles and Kamdar Textiles. However, the selection of fabric for needlework (apart from clothes making) is very limited at the local textile shops. When I go on holiday overseas, I won't miss the chance to shop at the textile shops in that particular town. :) Yes, I'm that obsessed with fabric.

Recently, I have discovered another place to shop locally for fabric and accessories for needlework, SINGMUIHEN (M) SDN BHD. This shop has been around for many years, but I don't know why I never noticed nor heard people mentioned about it until now. Well, actually I was at their branch in Singapore and found out that they actually have an outlet in Malaysia. So, after returning to Malaysia, I quickly find a time to check out the branch in Malaysia.

It wasn't difficult to find a location nowadays with the help from GPS. The shop is located at an old township. Those who are interested can get the address and map via the above link. I was so excited when I reached, hence I have forgotten to take any pictures of the shop. :)

The shops carries mainly US designer cotton and Japan cotton. There are also a few from Korea and China. The selection of fabric is good. I was overwhelmed with choice of fabric! Spent a long time in there haha..!

Apart from fabric, they have sewing accessories and tools as well. They do carry Japanese brand like Clover and Wheel & Anchor. Lot of sewing embellishments too like ribbon, lace, decorative tapes etc. They also have sewing & craft books in the shop, mainly in Japanese and Mandarin. I noticed that they deal with a lot wholesales customers, so some items are sell in bulk or large quantity.

This shop do have membership system. Members get to enjoy 10% discount on normal price items. They open from Monday to Saturday 9:00am to 5:30pm. I can't wait for my next trip there with my fabric obsessed friend. :)
