Want just enough Modge Podge to finish that decoupage project? Go here. Need some rubber stamps to make homemade cards or gift tags? Definitely go here! They have a big selection. The place is rather messy and hodgepodge and had an odd smell when I was there. If you're someone who likes their shopping experience to be clean, well-lit, and orderly, this ain't your joint. But it's fun to go through the shop to inspire yourself and see if any treasures call out to you. Some things were a great buy and some were not, so shop wisely. Staff were welcoming and friendly, and I support the reuse and upcycle mission of Seattle ReCreative, so I'll be back.

Geared towards people who want to make their own outdoor gear (by the way, how cool is that?!) Seattle Fabrics is also a treasure trove of goodness for those of us in the bag-making community. From vinyl to nylon to mesh this is not the place to look for quilting cottons, but if you like to think out of the fabric box you've come to the right place. And even though some of the larger chain fabric stores carry some outdoor-friendly products this place carries them in EVERY color. They also have an amazing selection of bag hardware in all sizes, quite possibly the most impressive selection of zippers EVER, and enough fleece to cover the entire city in one big blanket. Their prices were super reasonable too. I've been buying my glitter vinyl online for twice what I paid here. The place isn't fancy, and you might have to do some digging, but when I couldn't find a couple of things the nice guy at the cutting counter was happy to help. They also have a tempting selection of patterns. Want to make your own tent, ski clothing, or backpack? Need to reupholster your boat? Sailboat needs a new canvas? This is your place!

Best to come in with a "theme"--ours was pirate and boat stuff this time--and the staff will gladly point you in the right direction. (Great staff, BTW.) Yup, we found an assortment of things we could use. Or you can just buy their grab bag (more of a grab box) where they pick out a bunch of knick-knack gag gifts for you. I did that about 6 months ago, and the friend I gave it to is still having fun with it. Oh, if you want anything rubber chicken-related, this is your store, hands (wings?) down.

Living closer now, I come here whenever I'm in town. Creative and odd gifts for everyone in your life! Caesar salad flavored candy canes, Madonna styled 80s bracelets, 2 headed dolls, and more! It's always a treat to see what new treasures Archie McPhee has in stock.

Wish I could give 0 stars…read more Walked in around 3pm Thursday and was greeted by a female and male employee who both gave me a judgmental look up and down...slowly, then the female proceeds to tell me before you shop leave your drink up here. No explanation why and no official area.... just expected me to leave my boba tea I just bought and was enjoying on a stroll on the floor by the front door unattended?!!??? Heck to the no. This store used to be good with friendly employees over 2 years ago. Over 2 years ago! Bought an amazing skirt for $4 I still love to this day. Now for the last two years I've only been in a few times since the service is always notably rude, prices have gone up, and again the customer service is rude as heck. Why in the world would I leave my boba tea unattended near the floor by the entrance when told to by a rude ahh employee? Laughable. The employees here are the huge problem driving the customers away along with the overpriced items they sell now. Some dark and negative energy here y'all! Maybe they have everything on sale right now due to the lack of customers?? Sure not helping get anyone in the door with the weird new drink at the front thing and employees bad attitudes and stank faces. I'll take my business, time, and energy elsewhere and suggest all do the same!!!!! Tami M left a very informative and honest review as well here that should be read. Hopefully the employees can find a job they actually like and learn clear communication, professionalism, kindness, and smiles is simple.

If I could leave zero star, I would. I shopped at this location yesterday and experienced several…read moreinstances of exceedingly poor customer service in an undesirable shopping environment. I won't be shopping here again and I will deter my friends as well because it was so bad. To begin, the energy of the employees was very nonchalant and almost seemed annoyed with the fact that I was there as I walked in. A big group of employees, maybe four or five of them including their manager/shift lead, were in the back stocking, making loads of noise and yelling. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with people having fun or someone just objectively having a bad or low energy day at work- I empathize. However, when I looked back, the manager/shiftlead, a black lady mid 20s with piercings, stuck her hand down the back of another female employee's pants while that employee was crouched restocking merchandise. Not only was that gross, but that manager counted my hangers with her gross buttcrack hand when I asked for a fitting room. She also let the fitting room door slam on me extremely hard when I had my hands full with merch to try on. Later, I saw that a designer tee marked for 40$ was a fake (I could tell by the tag). As I was checking out, I mentioned the counterfeit to the cashier and asked if perhaps there could be a discount since the item was a fake. If it had been real, I would have happily paid the 40$. The cashier looked to the same aforementioned manager, who didn't acknowledge or look at me at all when she told him (cashier) to take off 10%. It was so awkward, they treated me like I was being a karen and making a disruptive scene or ruining their day just because I politely ID'd a counterfeit tee that THEY were trying to sell as deadstock. It was just all around an uncomfortable shopping experience when I was nothing but nice and tried to be the least burdensome type of customer possible. I have worked in sales with Nordstrom and I was appalled at the lack of professionalism and rudeness they brought into the shopping experience. I think if this behavior continues you will definitely see a plummet in sales revenue because it is not a desirable place to shop. The music is also so loud that one can barely focus on shopping. Thanks for reading. I Definitely wont be coming back.

These chairs had seen a lot of life and love, and we weren't sure it was even possible to bring them back -- but the team here worked magic. The craftsmanship is impeccable: the leather looks rich and supple, the stitching is perfect, and every detail feels just right. The chairs honestly look brand new -- better than when we first bought them! The quality of their work speaks for itself, and the staff was friendly, communicative, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you have any high-end or sentimental furniture that needs new life, South Upholstery is the place to trust. Absolutely five stars.
