Our Story

More than bolts — we're the heartbeat of Roanoke's maker community

Design House Fabric was born from a simple conviction: that the best creations start with the best materials. For over 15 years, we've been Roanoke's trusted source for fabrics that don't just fill a order — they fulfill a vision.

Our shop on Valley View Boulevard is where hobbyists find their first bolt, where seasoned quilters discover the next fabric that makes them stop and stare, and where fashion designers source the draping qualities that make their sketches come alive.

We personally select every collection that arrives through our doors. When you shop with us, you're not just buying yardage — you're gaining a partner who understands that a zipper isn't just a closure, it's the difference between a garment that fits and one that flies.
