My mother recommended G Street Fabrics to me after our local JoAnn closed, and she spoke highly of…read morethe store from her years of shopping here. I wanted to continue supporting it for that reason and for its sense of community, but my experiences have been consistently disappointing. Yesterday was my final straw. I am new to sewing and come in seeking guidance on fabric selection and product education, yet nearly every visit is met with dismissive or rude customer service. The older representatives in particular often do not greet me and respond reluctantly or faintly when I ask for assistance. Help is provided, but it often feels like an inconvenience unless they are in the mood. Yesterday, when I asked a representative at the fabric counter for help understanding a product, she was short-tempered and instead told me they were closing at 5:15 p.m., despite the website listing a 7:30 p.m. closing time. The interaction felt rushed, dismissive, and disrespectful. At checkout, I asked for a bag for several small tools and fabric. The cashier said they were running low, and etc and tossed the bag at me. This type of behavior has happened on multiple visits and consistently dampens the experience. I truly wanted to like this store, but the repeated lack of basic courtesy--especially toward newer customers--has made me unwilling to return. I hope management takes these ongoing customer service issues seriously.

G Street Fabrics is truly my happy place. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, and their sewing…read moreexpertise shows in everything they do. They've been in business for over 80 years, and their deep sewing knowledge really sets them apart from other stores. Most employees have been here for years--some for decades--which truly shows their dedication and love for what they do. Even the store owners are very dedicated; you'll often see them on the floor greeting customers, which shows how much they care. Courtney is super helpful and really knows pattern making, Linda has been part of G Street for decades, and Leo is incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to help. You'll soon know everyone by name because they naturally become your sewing-expertise coaches. I even call them the fabric whisperers because they always seem to know exactly what you need. I bought my sewing machine here with Esther's help--she is so kind and genuinely wants you to succeed long after your purchase. They also offer upholstery services and sewing-machine repairs--both of which have saved me more than once. And I have to give a special shout-out to Lew, the sewing tech. He's the absolute best and always knows exactly how to fix any issue. I can't recommend G Street enough. It's a must-visit for anyone who sews, creates, or simply loves beautiful materials.

They have a huge selection of buttons from basic to very fancy and in large quantities of each. I didn't look through the fabrics as I haven't been sewing much lately but they seem to have a ton. I will definitely come here first next time I need buttons. And I will bring cash - minimum card charge is $10. I should bring the garments as well, since they keep the buttons behind the counter and I have old lady eyes so it was a little tricky to explain what I wanted from a bit of a distance but I did manage.

Everyone wears a name tag (as someone who is not good with names, I LOVE this!). At the beginning of class everyone does an introduction. Everyone was so friendly and it was a very nice community. The area is cute and there are restaurants nearby to grab a bite to reward yourself. The instructor was very kind and patient with the students! Add to it calendar immediately after you receive confirmation for the class because the time doesn't show up in your email confirmation. There's plenty of parking nearby. Most parking allows for up to 3 hours (max). I recommend checking out the shop. They also still fabrics and other items. Don't judge my finished product too harshly

I took a beginners class here - it had plenty of street parking around the shop, convenient hours…read more(class was from 6pm-8pm), a small class size (8 for sewing machine basics), and an informed staff. The instructor (Valerie, I believe) was very detailed in her instructions that included threading a machine, debugging, ironing, sewing different stitches and lengths, assembling and dissembling the machine, and making a mini pillow. After she demoed different steps, she would have us try and wandered the room quickly correcting us if something wasn't quite right. We also had to repeat each action twice to develop the muscle memory. There are classes available for all things a beginning sewer needs to know up to how to make your own bodice at advance levels. The store has patterns, fabric, and take-home kits. If you cannot make a scheduled workshop, you can do the lesson over private instruction. I had followed YouTube instructions before and done lots of searches trying to figure out how to sew with limited success. This class multiplied my knowledge by 1000 and helped me identify what I was doing wrong on my own so I could course correct. If you're interested in learning to sew, this is your place!

They also have plenty of rotating quilt bundles if you need inspiration! Bonus that they also have good technicians if you need to get your machine serviced. I will say my only complaint is I wish there were more fabric types. They obviously specialize in quality cotton/linen fabrics but I would love to see more types!

I signed up for a class in March but requested to cancel or reschedule before the course date. I…read morecalled with no response and followed up with an email. Eventually, I received a text from someone at the shop. Unfortunately, it became clear that customer service is not a priority here. The person who texted me told me to just reschedule, but there was no follow-up or flexibility offered. Later, I was automatically enrolled in a class without being consulted, and the date didn't work for me as I was out of town. I'm now moving back to my home state and can't attend any future sessions, but they refused to offer any refund--even a partial one. While I understand this is a small business, the lack of communication and unwillingness to work with customers is disappointing. I'm now out $195 with nothing to show for it.

I teach dollmaking and other crafts, and have even purchased ready-made African outfits from here for cultural celebrations. The owner and his family have always been friendly, courteous, and helpful. They are one of the few surviving stores that carries the latest African fabrics in the Prince Georges County area. Please give them your business, and regard some of the other negative reviews perhaps as coming from people whose expectations were not met with their idea of an African fabric store. This is not a fancy store, or one like the big chain fabric stores. Admittedly it is arranged in a way that is very different from traditional fabric stores. If you've ever shopped in the garment district in New York in one of its places where fabrics are piled to the ceiling, you'll almost feel like you are in one of those types of stores. This store is loaded with tons of fabrics and sewing notions, as well as jewelry and ready-made outfits. The fabric for the most part is on large heavy rolls, thus it is not easy to move them around a lot as one previous reviewer complained that the owner would not do. The store has its own charm, personality, and atmosphere. Give it a try. If you really want quality fabric, buy here, and put your high expectations to the side, and walk away with the fabric you came to buy.

Stopped in here while I was at the Wharf (waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant). My son found…read morea few trinkets and so I thought we'd get them since we had a little time. There were a couple of people in front of us in line, no big deal. But, when it got to the person directly in front of us I began to wonder if they really wanted my business. The woman at the register (who I found out was the manager) was moving as slow as possible, literally having complete conversations about various topics. And she kept looking at me, looking away, and then seemed to just move slower (no I'm sorry, with you in a minute, etc). It was one of the stranger (and more uncomfortable) service experiences I've had in recent memory. After suggesting that I would just go elsewhere where she did offer to ring me up and offered a 50 cent discount for the wait. I did purchase the items because my son was getting upset and I wanted to shield him from the ugliness of the situation. However, the manager just didn't seem like she wanted to serve me and I really felt like I was being treated differently than other customers. I won't speculate about why, but needless to say there are plenty of other businesses in the area that I know will happily serve me and I will never walk through the door of this one again.
