Set in the former brick school building on Evergreen Blvd. at west end of Officer's Row (built by Mother Joseph in the 1800s). Across the street and over one from the new downtown Ft.

The shop is located in the historic Providence Academy building, which is the perfect setting for quilts. We had a great chat with the owner who is super friendly and knowledgeable.

They have now made me feel like the best grandma ever. Every color and font you could possibly want. They will help you decide as they know what works best. They sell hats you can customise too. Great business. Cost $28 which was very fair. You can shop while you wait or skate. They are situated at the center court looking on to the ice rink on the first floor. I came in the entrance on NE Halsey by the now empty Marshalls. I highly recommend this business!

I called prior to my order to ensure it would arrive prior to a yarn dyeing class. They assured me it would. I placed the order. I contacted them after a couple days when it was listed as "not shipped" and was told it was shipped but "unfortunately the tracking information was not properly imported into our system" but it would still arrive on time. I emailed a couple days later asking if it would arrive on time and got this: "I am sure it will, most packages have slowly started to show up today!" Today, the day I needed it delivered, the UPS tracking information showed up and, upon checking the UPS website, UPS hasn't even received the package. Each time I contacted them, I was clear that I would not need the yarn after the 30th and not to send it or bill me if they could not deliver by that date. I called them today to tell them not to bother to ship it as I would not be able to use the yarn AFTER THE CLASS TO DYE IT WAS DONE. The representative I spoke with didn't seem at all surprised that I was calling about an shipping issue but was apologetic. I assured her I would be refusing delivery and, if for some reason it was delivered anyway, I would expect them to pay return shipping as there was absolutely no ambiguity about the fact that I would not need the item after the date of my class to dye it. She didn't even pause when she told me just to return it unopened to UPS to refuse delivery which tells me the is an ongoing issue (as do all the reviews I am not reading on line with similar issues).

I was told they were there forever so I gave them a shot. The work took three times as long as they said it would take. The place is very dirty and messy.

It's sad to say but it's that bad. Sometimes you gotta know when to hang it up, or get someone else in there.

Their work is outstanding and the product lasts. There are no loose stitches. Prices are very reasonable and they can get small batch items back to you within a couple weeks. They do have some items in stock that you can purchase to embroider on, but I often bring my own items. Last time I went in they were saying that there is a shortage on obtaining flex fit hats for wholesale. Something to keep in mind if you would like hats to be embroidered. Also, they text you a proof of your work before completing it. That way you can let them know if you want to make any changes before your product is complete.

Located in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood, Sewlarium is a bit of a drive for me, but I'm happy to support small businesses striving to serve their communities. This store is clean, well lighted, and surprisingly well-stocked for such a small footprint. I was able to find several yards of beautiful jersey material that I can't wait to make some shirts from. There is plenty of street parking in front of the business, and on the side street as well. If you're making a trek to visit this store from elsewhere in Portland like me, consider yourself in for a treat because there are some great restaurants and coffee shops in the area. (Not to mention Mike's Drive-In across the street!)
