Hancock Fabrics

March 4th, 2011

Fabric stores such as Hancock Fabrics are typically generic in supply. The typical corporate fabric store provides the same styles and materials at roughly the same prices.
Hancock Fabrics in Tyler TX
So perhaps not much can be said for the originality of Hancock Fabrics as a business much can be said for it’s value to Tyler as a supplier of fabrics and fiber accessories. As in any craft a multitude of specialized tools, parts and accessories are required to obtain complete control of the medium. Hancock Fabrics provides to you this control over fiber through it’s comprehensive supply of fabric and fabric related things.

The sewing machine can be a cruel and unpredictable mistress at times, with many small and fragile moving parts sewing machine maintenance is a common and important part to a fabric stores function. Hancock Fabrics can repair your sewing machine and offer you it’s choices in parts for whatever you might venture to fix yourself.

The thread selection is standard and covers most conceivable colors as well as several different varieties of thread strength. The Fabrics of Hancock Fabrics do not stop at the simple cotton patterns you expect, but go further, offering fanciful drape and rug fabrics with velvet tassels and all.

As for the more pragmatic side of the fabric store Hancock’s has any tool you could need, from expensive scissors to pearl snap button appliers. An entire wall of the store is dedicated to displaying in an orderly fashion the many accessories available for your sewing needs. A wall of buttons is also arranged for an efficient selection of the right button for you.

Hancock Fabrics can help you with knitting or crocheting as well with their plethora of yarn and needles for all patterns and methods of knitting or crocheting. The staff at our Tyler Hancock Fabrics are sweet old ladies as one might imagine for a fabric store, they are extremely helpful and courteous to all who have questions or transactions.

At the checkout counter a peculiar quirk of fabric stores I have long enjoyed is kept, a variety of delicious candy for the sweet toothed to help with the monotony that comes with the craft of sewing. In all Hancock Fabrics has what you need, although nothing exceptional it gives Tyler what it needs to sew.

Christmas shopping for her

December 8th, 2010

Woman Christmas Gift IdeasChristmas shopping for women is made so easy by stores like Wal-Mart. But women get tired of bath soaps and lotion. This Christmas get the women of you life something they will love. Hint to men out there: if the woman in your life never wears the heart shaped pendant that you gave her last year, do not get her another one. Women really want men to know what their likes and tastes are.

Jewelry is always a hit at Christmas, but you have to know where to go and what the women you are buying for likes. Kay Jewelers commercials flood the television this time of year. The open heart necklaces are one of their most advertised pieces of jewelry. People always say that you can not go wrong with getting jewelry, but you can. Kay has many different types of jewelry for all different women. The charm bracelets are a great gift idea; you can make them according to a women’s taste. The charm bracelets can be as extravagant or as plain as you would like.

If the women you are shopping for would rather be sitting in front of a sewing machine or a scrapbook than be decorated in diamonds, Hobby Lobby is the best craft store in Tyler. Their large selection of colorful and fun fabrics and patterns can make a great gift for women that love to sew and create clothing. Hobby Lobby has some of the greatest sales around. Many crafts that she enjoys can be found at Hobby Lobby. They are always having sales for 50%-75% off of many different products. You can completely decorate your home with the large selections of holiday and seasonal ornaments, and decorations. Young girls will love their many different craft ideas just for their age groups, such as jewelry design, kits for decorating rooms, and painting.

If the women you are shopping for would much rather enjoy time with you than a gift, you should buy her a date. Tyler has many great restaurants that can provide a romantic night on the town. Jake’s on the square has a great romantic setting on the roof of the restaurant. Many times Jake’s restaurant has live music. Another great restaurant to have a romantic date is the beautiful Viva Montez. The set up of the beautiful Spanish restaurant gives you and your love one the privacy and intimacy that you would want. One place I highly recommend is the KE Cellars. You can enjoy a great time with wine tasting, cheese and meat trays to compliment your wine and on certain night live music for your entertainment. Plan a date that she will love whether it is eating out, wine tasting, dancing or even shopping.

Kohl’s has only been in Tyler for the last few years but it has quickly become very popular. Kohl’s has many great sales. You can buy for all the women on your shopping list at Kohl’s large store. Get the women in your life a whole new selection of kitchen appliances with the best brand names, such as, the popular Food Network collections. There are many “as seen on TV” products, and many of the products are for sale for a better price than you have seen on television. Kohl’s is having one of there largest sales as a Christmas countdown. Kohl’s has all different products that are perfect for Christmas gifts. They have everything from clothing to frames and house décor.

While you are Christmas shopping for the women in your life this holiday season give a little more thought to what they would use and enjoy rather than running through the seasonal section at Wal-Mart and picking up the five dollar bath soaps and cheap Christmas chocolates.
