ART GALLERY - Through the doors to the restroom, there is a huge hallway, filled with some really amazing paintings. More artists are being invited to show their work there. By the 1st of the year, there will be a lot to see. Stop by while you're in town, and you'll be well-entertained. VINTAGE ITEMS - The vendors are constantly changing their decorative items. I've found some very interesting additions to my home. Friendly staff, hardly ever a wait in line, and always something new to see. Overall, I give the store 5 stars!!

I first went in 13 years as go when I wanted to start quilting. The shop was owned by someone…read moredifferent than now and they were anything but welcoming so I decided maybe quilting wasn't for me. I finally decided I wanted to make a quilt no matter how rude they were so I put on my big girl panties and tried again. Imagine my surprise when I walked in the door to find a new owner with a kind heart and a ton of patients. I've done a few quilts now and see no sign of stopping. Beautiful fabrics, amazing patterns, great Halloween selection, and the kindest people. I couldn't ask for better!

I finished today the Shop Hop and was looking forward to picking out my free one yard of fabric, I…read morehave never done this Shop Hop before. Well found out in 30 seconds no choice. So made a suggestion that someone print on the passport that fabric is prepicked. The person helping said if you don't like it give it to someone else this is the way it has always been done she even repeated this as I was going out the door. Rude communication to a new customer. I had found about $60.00 of fabric on her website and was hoping to have the free one yard complement the fabric I would have bought from her. Will never purchase from her, took the wind out of my sail!

I bought a lot of fabrics here.

Most of the items are between $3.50-$5/6 a yard. They also had quite a few options for 4way stretch lace. I got gold satin, a really wonderful cotton blend vintage style floral print, a bright vintage style Hawaiian print, and some gold satin to line a dress. I also got several yards of plain white and plain red cotton blends that are super utilitarian. Basically you can get some fun stuff for the price of muslin. Plus the trims and notions are plentiful and just as cheap. 1/1.50 for zippers... yep! I'll take several thanks. Heck yeah! Would be IDEAL for cosplay fabrics or just costume making in general.

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!)

(Okay, you called my bluff! Yes, we did.) Firstly, Center Diamond has a fabulous selection of fabrics and the prices are more reasonable than you'd expect. The fabric is sorted into themes and by color-- a feast for the senses! Maybe it's because I've spent most of my time at Joanns (R.I.P.) I was delightedly surprised that they carry flour sack towel fabric. It had never occurred to me to make my own kitchen towels! They have an extensive variety of tools and notions as well as fun vinyl decals to showcase one's sewing love. There's a great selection of patterns with finished samples for inspiration and several kits and a mahoosive selection of stackers, fat quarters, and jelly rolls. The staff was wonderful here! They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and fun. We bought a pattern and they even printed it out for us. My daughter and I can't wait to return! If you're a fabric crafter, do yourself a favor and stop into Center Diamond, you won't be disappointed!

They had the perfect amount of space for us! We booked a 4 hour slot on a Wednesday evening, and they allowed us to bring in some catering for dinner. They had a vast menu of different crafts, with materials like macrame, cement, leather, and more. The prices were $39 or $44 depending on the crafts, with more add ons. Each of us chose our own craft and were provided the materials and tools. Each table had some basic tools like scissors and tape, and they had a wall of paint, stains, and string to choose from! I chose a macrame yoga mat holder, so my craft bag had some rope and wooden rings, and I got to use a vertical frame with a hook clamped to the table to help with my weaves. Each craft has very detailed instructions and the employees checked in regularly and helped when we needed it! I had some frustrations because I was struggling to pull extremely long pieces of rope through knots I was making. The owner came by and gave me some tips to make it easier, and brought over some rubber bands to help bundle the ropes so it wasn't as difficult to make the knots. I highly appreciated his attentiveness and helpful tips!! I wasn't able to finish my craft in time so they gave me a copy of the instructions so I could finish at home. Overall, the employees were so helpful and made sure we had a good time! They also had some drinks on tap, I got a prickly pear seltzer which was really yummy! Overall, this was such a fun experience & I highly recommend booking for teams. I work in a virtual environment so I only see my team a few times a year. I really enjoyed being able to do a fun, creative, hands-on activity with my team. It was a bonus to have catering and drinks so I could take some breaks to mingle and walk around and see my teammates' progress on their crafts. Thank you DIY BAR for a wonderful experience!!!
