We went to the SPARE store looking for a patch in hopes of repairing a tear/hole on the back of a…read moredown jacket. Luckily, we found a patch for it. Mena, the owner, took time to check out the jacket and described in detail how the repair could be done. It sounded pretty complicated. Mena reassured us that it could be done. After further discussion, Mena said it would probably be easier if she did it herself instead of explaining how to do it. Without us asking, she volunteered to do the repair for us! It came out perfectly!! Mena was amazing!! What a gem!! There are fabric, sewing, art and school supplies, etc., at the store. She also accepts donations as well. If you're looking for art, crafts, and sewing supplies, go check out the store! You'll be surprised of what you might find!!!

The store has an amazing variety of materials. The materials range from art paper to embroidery…read morethread to quilt squares. She helped me find the right kind of paper for water marbling.

Drove over to fabrix on a Monday and it happened to be the Clement street fair at the exact same time, luckily I found parking really quickly and proceeded to go inside to find my felt and embroidery supplies for the felt ornaments I'd been wanting to make for Christmas this year. I had NO clue what I was looking for and I'm so grateful to the staff for helping me find everything and being patient with me throughout the whole process. It was quiet in the shop at first but quickly became busy, but I honestly didn't mind waiting in line for my turn because the staff gave the same amount of time to me as they did to everyone in front of me in line. I was kind of surprised at how inexpensive the whole purchase was, after she showed me my total, because I hadn't checked the prices of anything. Most of the fabrics was labeled with a price but it's one of those stores that has so much inventory that it's not easy to see the prices of everything if you're someone like me with awful vision and a stubbornness not to get glasses Anyway, I highly recommend this local fabric store!! It's perfect for basically all of your fabric crafting needs!!

Stone Mountain & Daughter Fabrics in Berkeley has a stellar reputation in the sewing world, so I…read morehad to see what all the buzz was about when I was visiting Berkeley last month. While there was definitely a wide variety of fabric, the overall store felt a bit chaotic, cluttered, and unorganized. The upstairs has some discounted bolts but nothing really caught my eye. While browsing, I checked their website and spotted Ruby Star Society's selvedge/letter fabric but of course I couldn't find it in the store, so I had to ask. And while the staff helped, the service was just okay. The selection is decent but I think my expectations were higher given the hype.

I'm mainly comparing to Sacramento (but to be fair, I go to sketchy areas so it's always cheap there). The staff itself is friendly enough. I see a lot of reviews about them being grumpy but it's really just one woman that is but hey she doesn't need to be bubbly and extroverted. She just did her job and that's fine. Not everyone wants to have a conversation with every customer and people just need to realize that. The place is pretty organized and I love that each spool of fabric has their price on it. It's very helpful. I'll probably come back when I'm in the area again and check out their clearance section which was good. Also their buttons are so cheap and I'll definitely but more of those.

I have heard about Discount Fabrics through so many Facebook sewing and quilting groups, so of…read morecourse stopping at their San Francisco location was high on my list as I was passing through the area. While I came for the quilting cotton, I left with a completely different find... I purchased several yards of ripstop nylon for a future DIY stuff sack or lightweight outdoor pouch. The store is so, so large but honestly impressively organized, even with *huge* rolls of fabric everywhere. I loved that they have a public restroom (always a plus when fabric shopping turns into fabric hunting). The prices were excellent and the staff was helpful.

They're competitively priced, their selection is excellent, and the service is truly exceptional. It's so hard to find that kind of kindness and professionalism these days, and Sonoma Furniture is one of the few businesses I've found that really excels in every area. They're a local family business, and I always feel good supporting them instead of spending money at big chains. Businesses like this are exactly why shopping local matters. One thing that really stood out to me: I bought a chair online from a different manufacturer that Sonoma Furniture doesn't even carry, and the manufacturer sent me a taller replacement cylinder for it. I didn't want to hire a handyman because I wanted someone who actually knows furniture to do it properly, so I asked if they could help. I even offered to pay, but Kirk, the owner, replaced it for me as a favor. That kind of generosity and customer care is incredibly rare. They are genuinely wonderful people, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.
