About US!


Founded in 2017, Firecracker is a small woman/queer/disabled owned storefront located in Pittsburgh, PA. We sell fabrics for apparel and crafting, along with sewing patterns, notions, tools, and craft kits. Our main focus is on natural fibers, with a dedication to sourcing a large variety of beautiful fabrics at friendly price points. We want to give the old-school fabric shopping experience during a time when fabric stores are going out of business all over the world. In such times we have stayed small to protect ourselves - but we try to have a little of everything that our local customers might be looking for. Some have called us small but mighty, which we love!

We have a small team of highly skilled sewists on staff, all with different skill sets. We love helping you choose the perfect fabric for your project! Everyone is welcome, no matter your skill level - and we aim to be a safe, inclusive space. No question is silly - after all, you're not born with this knowledge!


If you’re in the Pittsburgh area and would love to learn how to sew or improve on techniques, check out the classes next door at our partner business, Cut & Sew Studio! They host a wide range of classes for both kids and adults, from beginner's sewing to bag making, quilting, apparel, through to pattern and fashion design. Cut & Sew also has week-long kid’s camps every summer and can host private parties. Sign up for classes directly on their site, cutandsewstudio.com


We aim to provide everything you need for your class at Cut & Sew, and are ready to help you choose your supplies! We love customer feedback and work closely with the studio to help develop classes that will be of interest to our sewists, so please let us know if there is a specific type of class that you would love to see on the schedule!
