Sewing is my new found hobby (I bought a singer 8280 last month!!). I had been searching for sewing supplies in Bangalore and was told that chickpet is the place for sewing supplies.So i was in chickpet yesterday with my husband. Beware, if you have dust allergy or can't stand crowd don't bother going there 'caz you can find the above mentioned in abundance there.
I did a search and came up with a list of shops in raja market and ended up in rajamarket in avenue road by 11am last Saturday. I didn't like what i saw there. The shops there were almost like the ones in jayanagar 4th block(vinayaka stores) with heavy price tags.
Mahadev fancy store in rajamarket:
I went ahead and bought a zig-zag scissors(75 Rs),canvas paper,jacket zip(Rs 35 for shorter length and Rs.55 for longer one), ordinary zipper few meters (Rs.25/meter)with extra for zipper runners.Laces were costly so i didn't bother buying them. I was not a very happy person, i went there thinking i will get deals of my life..!! I could have bought the same in Jayanagar 4th block vinayaka shop.
My next agenda was printed cotton running material ,which can be measured and cut. So we started waking and here are the discoveries i made.. hope it helps fellow sewing enthusiasts.

The cheapest beads, chamkeens/sequence i got was from the road-side vendor. He gave me a small packet of glass beads/sequence for Rs.10/packet. You can see them in the photo.
Printed Cotton
I am in love with cotton but after asking around and looking for about hours, i found 2 shops which gave me the great cotton materials.
Poonam Trading Co.
25/79,Renuka Building,A.M Lane,Chickpt cross.Ph:22266504
They have a good collection of cotton chudi sets and loose materials.I bought 5 nos of 2 meter pieces of different very good quality printed cotton all for Rs.65/meter. They gave me 2 cut pieces (<1>
Prakash corporation:
No:13, Sharada market,A.Mlane, Chickpet Cross, Opp. Laxmi sweets Ph: 41242233.
This shop didn't have much choices in running material, but what they had were very good.
I bought few of materials from here including a kurta material for my husband, price range Rs.40/meter to Rs.60/meter.

These are the materials which i bought. The next in agenda was material for making bags,thick cotton. I didn't find any shop selling the same. So I started to look for cotton bed sheets and came up with S.N & Sons ,34,Mamulpet. This shop was an upmarket shop,with prices close to any normal shop in Bangalore but the choices were great. I bought 2 single cotton bed sheet for Rs.200 for a set-of-2 single sheets. i am yet to decide as to what to do with them. I love the prints on them..
Haa.. after hours of shopping and roaming around we were loaded with heavy shopping bags and much lighter wallets.. but we are happy.. :)

Hi,
I am also done with a similar shopping exp in chickpet ... I went there looking for the same kind of materials in cotton and was quite disappointed :-) Most of the shops dont have running material in nice cotton prints...
but what is available in sometimes even half price compared to commercial etc.
For cottons u may also want to check on Rajesh and Co in AM lane....

Hi,
As the post is now 4 years old, I'm sure you would have more experience on the topic. I am just starting to sew and was wondering if you could give some new addresses for procuring the materials.

Hi,
My name Abdul,I am from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. I am looking for tailoring materials (Militray related) in wholesale price in a huge quantity on a monthly basis. If anyone knows about the shops names out there, if you help me in that will be a great help.
Thanks,
Abdul.
You can probably check out collections near Srirampura market just next to Sujatha theatre. But you need to go inside and take left turn and go to adjacent roads. You get good clothing for stitching at a very low price

Useful post. I too live in bangalore and am always on the lookout for this kind of stuff. I was searching for quilt batting/interfacing material and could not find it anywhere. I even checked Vinayaka 4th block and they said they dont have it any longer. Do you know wher eI can find it?

Thank you in advance :)
