What's New at IKEA? | Sewing + Craft Room Inspo 2022

[@SewingReport]

Is your local IKEA still selling fabric? Let me know what's going on near you! Also share your favorite IKEA items for your sewing + craft spaces!

[@selmamartinez589]

Nope 😟I was searching online last week to plan ahead for my trip. You know, it's like being in a casino... before you know it, the sun has set, or it's rising! Anyway, there were 0 items listed under fabric. I thought that maybe they changed the fabric to another category, but nope. So, Schaumburg (Chicago area), IL- sadness. As far as your comment about IKEA having mostly home dec fabric, you're right. I always thought about how I could use the fabric for bags and some up-cycling though. Wish they had the same prints in different materials.

[@shammydammy2610]

I've never been in an IKEA. I think there's exactly one in the entire country I live in.

[@annickvanpaemel6734]

Belgium discontinued too.

[@DocBlasto]

No, Philly fabric section is gone. Just in time for me to get back into sewing!

[@alicekelly4975]

Being a sewer and not even knowing IKEA sold sewing supplies might shed light on why they discontinued selling them and fabric🙄. I love IKEA! I am eagerly waiting for my adult son to move out so I can finally have a dedicated sewing/craft room which will be decked out with everything from Ikea.

[@theohiohousewife]

My son came home from college after 1 semester to find his room painted magenta. 🙂

I'm in California and I don't recall ever seeing a fabric area at our Ikea. My craft space is almost all Ikea furniture. It was so hard to get my hands on items in 2020, when I decided to give my space a face lift. I agree, it is fun to walk around and enjoy the room spaces.

I adore IKEA, before we had a store in Northern Ireland we used to hire a van and go by boat to Scotland. Rare is the sewist that doesn’t store their stash in a Kallax unit! My absolute favourite was the fabric section with the bold, bright modern patterns which I used to make curtains, blinds, cushions and more recently clothing. I especially loved the collaboration IKEA did with Zandra Rhodes and purchased fabric which I used for bags and jackets. I went last week to stock up again and was devastated to find the fabric section has shrunk and gone are the fabulous patterns which have been replaced with what I would describe as safe boring fabrics…..I am gutted.

[@sewgatormomm]

Yes, I could tell that the IKEA here in Jacksonville was discontinuing their fabric section, so I went ahead and bought many yards of their muslin. I LOVED their muslin and will miss it. Years ago, I bought their small sewing machine for my daughter. It was very basic, but still works well. I love the name of your rabbit, J-Hop!😂. I flew to LV just to see BTS. It was awesome!!💜

[@arleneaugustahair8393]

My husband hates going with me to IKEA but be the 1st person picking stuff up. 😂😂😂 I go in there with a solid plan because I look everything up online.

[@SewingReport]

LOLOLOL! My husband likes IKEA and always finds a bunch of stuff he wants when we're there.

[@mxrubyrouge]

I really hope Ikea don’t get rid of the fabric. I used their nummer fabric for quilt backs until they discontinued it - it was lovely!

[@andrea.rivers]

I've had the same experience withe the Ikea fabric, it's interesting but didn't lend itself to my specific projects. That said I have used their curtains for projects. 😁 My store is the Seattle (Renton) location. I haven't been recently to know if the fabric is gone. I DID peep from your vid that the Raskogs finally got a little topper cutting board?! I looked on the website and yep! Yay! That is my favorite item at Ikea. The Raskog cart. Been a fan for a very long time. I have 2, the hub has 2. I could probably use 2 more! They are just great mobile carts. I can't wait to get the lid. I have several of the old Expedits(now Kallax). As well as the shelving system that goes with that pegboard (which I also love). I also have the desktop with end drawer columns (Alex I think). My room is gonna get some layout change here soon because the layout is sucking my will to live. 😬

[@jenniferclucas5843]

The fabric section in my IKEA is also gone (Warrington, UK) and it has been for quite a while 😞 The Variera box is something I recommend people look for. It has a size that is perfect for storing sewing patterns in their packets.

[@Legacy3Enterprise]

How big is your cutting mat? Where did you purchase it from?

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Well, good to know since my Ikea is the same as yours!

[@doloresw]

Wow interesting. I don't go that often but maybe once in a blue moon. I need to find out.

[@karincotter6572]

I have two Ikea height adjustable desks -one for my cutting table and one for my primary sewing table. Their products are wonderful.

[@blufaerie]

Wait, no more fabric?!?! I just purchased a ton of fabric last summer from IKEA, but I haven’t been there since so I’m not sure if that is true for the Woodbridge, VA store. However, I notice I don’t see fabric on the website. This hurts because I love their unbleached cotton fabric for muslin! 😢
I guess I’ll just buy secondhand bedsheets for muslin fabric.

[@cecilianilsson1594]

Here in Europe too I noticed that the fabric was gone, was 1 1/2 years since my last visit ...

[@jennsilver5488]

Hi, what is the name of the pink color shelves in the beginning? I love them

[@LBDservices]

I am wondering about that shelf at the beginning (sewing display) I can see it’s $142 but I can’t read the name of the pink shelf. Hopefully somebody can share it😊❤️❤️

[@hokusai41]

In the sewing setup, shelves are the Ivar system painted in the wall colour, desk is Ingo, daybed is Hemnes.

[@angelamcgovern1525]

I was in ikea London the other week and they had the same display going up the stairs. I love tampa I holiday in treasure island, u live in a beautiful state xx

[@PattymacMakes]

I was in ikea last week and discovered the fabric was missing also! I asked the store employee about it and they said it was gone and weren’t sure if it was a company wide decision or not. I’m in Virginia Beach for reference. I’ve used the fabric for a couple of projects including curtains and for the price, it was pretty fantastic. I do know it’s predicted that cotton will also be in shortages this year and now with the fertilizer shortages on top of that i have to wonder if it will even be planted. Anyway… the rooms at your store are completely different than what we have here so that’s super interesting to see. I use a lot of their kitchen items as organizers with great success. I use a dining table as my sewing table and it looks like that may be discontinued as the company is have a lot of supplier and material and of course shipping issues. It’s a mess. But I still enjoyed my visit.

[@joannemurphy7967]

I was in ikea in Australian and they still have a sewing section

[@SewingReport]

Good to know!

[@julianneshanblatt6326]

I was in the Burbank, California store last week for the first time in about nine months and also noticed that the fabric section was gone.

[@shereemckinnon3896]

6 months ago IKEA Marsden Park (Sydney Australia) had no fabric section - but it is a newish store and may never have had one.

[@thecraftypineapplechannel970]

Do you know the name of the pink set with the sewing machine ? I would love to have it 😭

[@nerysyoung449]

I use an Ikea sewing machine. It's a fab solid little machine and is currently being used to quilt a single quilt.

[@Rexie275]

This is fascinating to me bcse the IKEA where I live here in USA never carried a fabric section nor any sewing supplies to begin with. From opening day (2011) onwards, it was mostly furniture, furniture accessories, plants, and food.
However, bcse I have spent some time in Europe, I was used to IKEA carrying a wide range of fabrics (clothing to furniture textiles) and a sewing machine. But my local USA store just didn't carry any of it. I wonder if individual store owners can decide if they need whichever sections or not? 🤔 Because that could have also played a role in why the fabric wasn't shopped as much as in Europe 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Craftytutu]

I’m in Scotland and our Edinburgh store no longer sells fabric. I love Ikea but visit less often now because they stopped selling fabrics 🤷‍♀️

[@carefulbodycare7053]

Ikea in Toronto Ontario still has fabric. Yay!

[@QueenAmethyst55]

Was that a new version of an IKEA sewing machine? I have one of the old blue & yellow ones. It got temperamental with age! 😆

[@SewingReport]

No, it was a Singer

[@TheHellsHobbit]

Never been to an Ikea, the nearest one is 3 hours away, I do online, I love the Moppe, I have 3 of them which I use for organizing sewing notions and bag making hardware, and the Raskog, one in the kitchen as an after school snack cart, another as a rolling bar cart, one to hold my sewing projects as I work on them, and each of my kids have one in their room

[@ketiaperkinsformallydavis6337]

Ikea in MD no longer carries fabric ☹️☹️☹️☹️

[@KcBrieMade]

Hi! The Orlando IKEA does not have a fabric section. Such a bummer!

[@PhilbrookHandcrafted]

The fabric at IKEA was great quality and value. I haven't been to the store in several months. I am disappointed that they are getting rid of the fabric.

[@georgesmith8774]

The IKEA in Round Rock, TX (Austin) no longer has the fabric and sewing section. Since they're in the same shopping complex as JOANN this hasn't affected me much.

[@karenfaulds8056]

I'm in Brittany, France. We have two Ikea stores near us, In Rennes and Brest, both used to have a reasonable sewing section. I used to buy their curtain lining to make garment toiles because it was so cheap and I bought some really good fabric shears a few years ago. Both stores still have a small amount of fabric but it's such a small stock it's not even worth looking at, and they don't seem to have things like scissors or threads any more

[@Escape10mom]

I have those spice shelves in my sewing room with empty Talenti containers to hold my rotary cutters etc in them.

[@Jo.lawler]

There is no fabric/sewing section at Ikea Logan Australia any more. I'm devastated.

[@margaretross8486]

I just looked online - fabric is still being sold in IKEA Australia.

[@Mimi-ji8qu]

I was at Ikea maybe two or three months ago and did notice that the amount of fabrics offered had diminished. I'm guessing next time I go it will all be gone 😕

[@MF-te1ye]

My Ikea did have fabrics for a few years, I did notice the last time I was there the section was smaller. But I haven't been in a few months so it may be completely gone.

[@honhi96825]

I recently downsized to a significantly smaller space and hit IKEA for my sewing space. The Raskog is a great cart, especially since you can buy hooks to hold stuff on the edge of the bin, like your scissors or ruler. I also picked up a gateleg sewing table, which I haven’t assembled yet. I also got the Alex, which I will use to store thread. My store was out of a lot of furniture so I couldn’t buy everything I wanted. I had to purchase a tv console elsewhere with cabinets underneath to store my sewing machines. It’s unfortunate that they don’t ship and aren’t in every major city. I love Ikea!

[@no-wire-hangers]

We still have the fabric section here in the UK. 🇬🇧

[@SewingReport]

Wow that’s good for you at least!

[@jmanonmakes]

I was told at my Massachusetts store that the fabric section was being phased out of all stores.

[@SammiSweetz]

They should bring the sewing + fabric back and rebrand it. The marketing was horrible I had no idea they even offered that and as very disappointed that it’s gone lol ikea plays a huge role on a lot of diy projects and selling diy items goes hand in hand with selling furniture and other home improvement products.

[@LindaAndrews128]

fabric is available in other countries at IKEA.

[@joanmangen5125]

I’m interested in the pegboard behind you with the racks at the bottom holding your rulers? Is that from IKEA?

[@SewingReport]

[@v.mishrasart43]

Wow😲🤩😍

[@karenraabis5296]

It is definitely more like entertainment for me. That is my store also. Why did they stop selling fabric. Ugh

[@muebuch85234]

Arizona IKEA has never had a fabric section.

[@jweg4051]

I am so interested in making a custom closet with IKEA cabinets but their online system isn’t working. I’ve never been there but it looks like they have many storage options.

[@lindashine5575]

We no longer have fabrics in Orlando.

[@glitterngloss13]

I’ve never seen a sewing/fabric section at my ikea. Such a bummer but I can understand why. I don’t think ikea when I think sewing supplies.

[@Amsayy]

I've literally never seen ikea have a fabric section where I live (southern Ontario).

[@dollyscorner4850]

Check out Sew Yeah in Las Vegas !

[@amechealle5918]

They don’t have sewing things in Utah either

[@hahayourmom00]

Is ikea still out of stock? Annoying how you can't get their best items right now.

[@m.s.4768]

I'm trying to find a way to make a sewing nook in my rv... it's so hard going from a huge studio to this :(

[@selmamartinez589]

use overhead space. maybe a murphy-bed style drop down?

[@CraftDiyDen]

👍👍👍

[@ephemerabluetit335]

"Hit up" means to ask someone to give you something for free.
