    What a lovely experience. I had heard great things about this shop from my fellow historical…read morereenactors, and since I'm shopping for fabric for my wedding outfit- which is based on our reenactment place and timeline- I figured this would be a great place to try. From the moment Mom & I walked in, we had great interactions with the staff. The lady at the register by the door asked what we were looking for; when I told her we were there for my wedding dress fabric, she said, "well, we aren't going to have a lot of conventional wedding dress fabric." "I know, that's why we're here!" "Oh... reenactors?" "Yep!" We were directed to the fabric room and were immediately assisted by a wonderful woman (whose name I have sadly forgotten!), who was tremendously knowledgeable, very helpful, very pleasant, very kind, and very happy to be helping me with this project! She was also great about educating me on their class offerings- including rug braiding, which I am interested in learning. I had gone on their website ahead of time to get some product numbers to look at. The aforementioned employee produced the desired fabrics in a jiffy, even educating me on the washable properties and showing me swatches of my chosen fabric that had already been washed and somewhat felted. Lucky me, the fabric I chose was on sale! Yay! We were cashed out at the register in an efficient manner. Overall, this was a great experience and I have already recommended Dorr Mills to other friends in the reenactment community.

    Wonderful mix of Dorr crafts, fabrics and Pendleton gear. Clothing for all ages. Lovely helpful…read morestaff. Well worth a stop.

    Just took a Beginners Sewing/Make a Tote Bag class... during a Saturday morning...We five students…read morelearned so much from our excellent teacher, Mary Margaret...We each left the class with a completed beautiful tote bag...and learned the basic important aspects of using a sewing machine.. Would definitely recommend sewing classes at Notion Fabric and Craft..and also, the sewing machines are available to rent...in the store on an hourly basis...

    Walking into a craft stores, I've often felt intimidated. I've held onto the idea that I could…read morenever be a person who makes things! No one in my family sews, knits or needlepoints, and I hadn't been taught elsewhere. Yet, I've always wanted to create something with my hands. Fortunately, Mary Margaret, the owner of Notion Fabric & Craft encouraged me to confront my fear of the sewing machine! It doesn't hurt that her store is NOT overwhelming like many craft stores I've been to. Though she is fully stocked with beautiful fabrics, yarns, patterns, crafting accessories and tools, stepping inside Notion feels like you have been invited into someone's home studio. I have taken two of Mary Margaret's classes. The first one was the first time I ever touched a sewing machine. I left with a beautiful tote bag that I am able to boast that I made. In the second class, she taught us how to make a shirt. Mary Margaret is a wonderful, patient teacher who supports you in all of your mini-milestones and successes, as well as your...uh...learning opportunities along the way. I particularly appreciated her talk about clothing sizes in stores and how all of our bodies are unique and fluctuate from time to time. We can't be defined by someone else's size or idea of a size! The classroom upstairs is a bright and inviting community space. Mary Margaret offers tea and coffee for added coziness. Notion Fabric and Craft is a much needed addition to Montpelier for expert crafters and novices alike. Do yourself a favor and take a class taught by Mary Margaret!
