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.

This store has been open for more than a year and I can't believe me and my credit card haven't found this place earlier.This store is the cutest boutique I have been to in DC! Whether you're looking for a gift for a young women in your life, or looking to expand your wardrobe, a trip to Petworth will definitely pay off!! If you like brands like YA and Tulle, this is the place to go. There are no shortages of cute dresses and tops, with affordable prices (it's also the least expensive boutique I have been to). They also have one rack of vintage clothing, that's all in good shape and look repurposed. I tend to not wear vintage clothes, not cause I am a snob, only because people from the past were really really thin and my modern day thighs won't fit a thing here, but if you're lucky and thin, don't pass this rack by. I nearly dragged in half a rack of clothing into the dressing room with me, and thanks to Lia who reminded me of exactly how many striped dresses I own I walked away with only a cute peplum top for $26( https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=529507513830592&set=a.150739758374038.31207.127311010716913&type=1&theater) which looks like nothing I own and perfect for going out. Lia however did not remind me of my polka dot addiction, and I also walked away with a set of four tiny vintage cute ceramic bowls in red and white polka dot pattern. I know this is a clothing boutique mainly, but definitely if you find yourself in here do not overlook the vintage homewares. Cute plate sets (4 for $19), ring holders and ceramic casserole dishes are everywhere. It's like cute Anthropologie stuff without the inflated nonsense prices. The owner who was completely delightful invited us back for a 30% off event party, which is timed perfectly with my next payday. Coincidence? I think not.

This is a wonderful part of the Upshur retail area and definitely worth a trip if you don't live in Petworth. (The owner, Julie, also owns the delectable Lulabelle's Sweet Shop on the block!)

The atmosphere is creative and welcoming, and the staff truly go above and beyond. They're patient, knowledgeable, and always happy to share advice or help you find exactly what you need. The sewing machine area is especially helpful, with expert support that makes even big purchases feel comfortable and confident. My wife bought a Bernina machine from Esther, and she is a gem. The heart of G Street is the very knowledgeable staff that sets them apart from any box store.

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.

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!

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 was stressed, but did not become angry until talking to them. They were rude and tried to withhold my money. I had already paid upfront for everything yet they had the audacity to say they wouldn't refund me until the dress arrived. Make that make sense?! A dress. That would be arriving weeks later, that I cannot use is what's holding up my refund? I drove over there and collected my money immediately. I will not be returning or referring them to others.

There is also beautifully-designed men's and women's clothing for sale, from everyday wear to fashions for a glamorous evening out, or an elegant wedding.
