 I am going to save you years of roaming and countless hours of googling to find Sewing related Shops in Jeddah. I have listed all the places I have been according to categories:

Once I was googling for Arts and Crafts Stuff and came across this post by Aysh at JeddahMom. You can check it out hereI have visited few of them. 

Recently I wrote a Guest Post for JeddahMom on Quilting Shops in Jeddah

Update: around the time we moved to Yanbu, demolition in Jeddah began in many areas. You won't be able to find few old places. After some trips to Jeddah in recent years and scrolling google maps, I was able to locate new shops and markets which are now in updated post.

1. Places to Buy Sewing Machines in Jeddah

First, let me tell you about types of Sewing Machines. I only knew 2, simple sewing and overlocker. Truth is there are many, many types of Sewing Machines. Basic straight stitch sewing machines, zig-zag machines, serger/overlocker, coverstitch, embroidery and quilting machines. And these come in Home units and Industrial units, ranging from SAR. 200 to SAR. 20,000+

  • Near Askaan, Sharafiyah

Most of the Sewing Machine shops in Balad, Dhahab Street have moved to Sharafiyah under Askaan buildings. You can find well-known brands like Brother, Juki, Janome and Singer there as well as others. Basically you are spoiled for choices. It all depends on your budget and requirements.. They sell good quality tailoring scissors, sewing machine feet and other parts.

3. Places to buy Sewing Supplies and Materials in Jeddah

  • Hindawiyah

A dreamland for Knitters, crocheters, sewists and crafters! Hindawiyah is a wholesale market. Here you can find each and everything in bulk and retail like sewing tools, notions, trims, threads, zippers stabilizers/interlining, buttons and what not. You name it, they have it! Few stores have Instagram handles too, so you can buy from them online ;) 

I only go to Hindawiyah when my list of sewing supplies shopping is loooong. As it is a wholesale market, the prices are relatively lower than other places in Jeddah.

Now that area only offers Charged Parking, so you can find spot easily. Unlike few years ago when we would go there after months waiting, all excited, then make rounds of market to get a parking spot, failing, then coming back home all furious and crying! Yep, those were the times!
