Visit Border City Fabrics and Sandwich Town, Windsor from Greater Detroit Area

A Creative Day Trip to Border City Fabrics

One of my favourite things about owning Border City Fabrics is meeting people who have travelled just to visit a fabric shop. Some come from across Windsor-Essex, others make the trip from Michigan because they enjoy discovering independent fabric stores they can't find at home.

If you love sewing your own clothing, quilting, bag making, knitting, or embroidery, I hope you'll add Border City Fabrics to your next day trip.

More Than a Fabric Store

I started Border City Fabrics to create the kind of shop I always wanted to visit; a welcoming space filled with beautiful fabrics, quality sewing tools, and inspiration for your next project.

You'll find thoughtfully selected collections of:

linen, hemp, and natural apparel fabrics
modern quilting cottons
denim, twill, canvas, and utility fabrics
bag-making supplies and hardware
yarn, embroidery supplies, and notions

Whether you're planning a handmade wardrobe, your next quilt, or a special gift, I love helping customers find exactly the right fabric.

Make a Day of It

Border City Fabrics is located in historic Sandwich Town, one of Windsor's oldest neighbourhoods.

After browsing the shop, spend some time exploring the area. Enjoy lunch at one of the local restaurants, walk along the Detroit River, visit the Duff-Baby House, or explore nearby parks and trails.

It's an easy day trip that combines creativity with a chance to discover a unique part of Windsor.

Learning Together

If you'd like to spend a little more time with us, we also offer workshops throughout the year.

From beginner sewing classes in garment-making, quilting, and specialty projects, they're a wonderful way to learn new skills and connect with other makers.

An Easy Trip from Michigan

With the Gordie Howe International Bridge now open, visiting Sandwich Town has never been easier. Whether you're driving over for the afternoon or planning a full day exploring Windsor, Border City Fabrics is just a short drive from the border.

I've always believed that fabric shopping is about more than simply buying fabric. It's about seeing colours in person, feeling the texture of a linen, discovering something unexpected, and leaving inspired for your next project.

If you're visiting from Detroit or anywhere in Southeast Michigan, I'd love to welcome you to the shop.

See you soon.
