I've read the mixed reviews and have to say that my experience going to the store and taking…read moreclasses has been 100% positive. Everyone has been super helpful, friendly, and had gone out of their way to help me-whether it is with a mega yarn purchase for a project or to undo some mess I've made by following a pattern that wasn't right for me. I started out with bamboo needles, as do most beginners, and when they were driving me nuts, one of the wonderful women in the store lent me her ebony needles before I spent that much money on a set for myself. The lessons are fantastic and fun. I can't praise Jennifer highly enough! She makes knitting fun and pulls the group together. We became friends and are continuing with a knitting workshop with Jennifer. All the women in the store are supportive and instructive. No one appears to have an attitude. We are all beginners once. They seem eager to help.

Nooo. Racoon fur? Seriously that's not okay. And the exact same little crochet set (hooks, stitch…read moremarkers, scissor, stitch counter, needles, measuring tape etc...) that costs $7.99 on Amazon or Tik Tok, she sells for $74+. That's quite the embarrassing markup. And yes, it's the exact same little kit, mustache logo and all. I'll cone back when Dharma is open. 2 stars because their dog is adorable and it's harder to take down a 2 star review. But my Mom just told me that she had overheard the owner being extremely rude to a customer, so this is a one star review.

She is extremely knowledgeable…read moreabout quilting and other fabric arts as well as common sense and clever nuggets of information to ease and upgrade the sewing experience. Barbara is always very generous with sharing her vast knowledge and skills. I highly recommend Barbara's classes. I have taken several classes which are always small, filled with new information and lots of personal attention from Barbara. Quilters and other fabric artists are so lucky that we have the Quilted Angel. With the ever dwindling quilt and fabric shops we are fortunate that the best among them is still available. The inventory is extensive with the highest quality goods that the staff usually have personal experience with and are generous with tips and suggestions about their products. The shop is always clean and attractive. It is always a delightful shopping experience.

They connected me to someone who made an amazing quilt for me that will be passed down the generarions. I'm very happy with the results and wouldn't have found this quilter without their intro so I feel inclined to give them a very positive review.

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!!!

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!!

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. If you're a crafter/sewist of any kind, this is a great place for a good deal!

If it were possible to give this place LESS than one star, I would. No matter what THEIR response…read moreis to this post, THESE are the facts: My machine was turned in for servicing. When completed, I picked it up. It was filthy underneath and there was lint IN the needle and surrounds. My friend paid for this service for me for a birthday present. I showed her the machine. She insisted I take it back. I showed people at The Legacy in Sebastopol that work on sewing machines. They told me to take it back. I took it back. The employee who took the machine back in viewed the goop and lint and said it should not look that way after servicing. Time went by, I picked up the machine and looked at it. Still filthy. So I said to the employee who was at the counter at that time, "The machine is still filthy. Are there any notes on the computer about it?" Nothing. So I said to her, "The machine has been "serviced" twice now, and it's still filthy. So my friend wasted almost $200 and I will still have to take it somewhere else to be serviced. Got it". And I left. Then I recieved a call from John basically telling me that is it MY fault the machine looks like that and that he never spends more than ONE hour on a customer's machine because, "I just wont' do that". Nice. Must be nice to make $150+ an hour for doing nothing..... Then he has the nerve to tell me "we need to part ways". So, to recap: I brought my machine in twice, he didn't do his job, and then got snippy with me about it. The ONLY person who has EVER serviced my machine has been Village Sewing. So if there is any goop on it, or whatever is on there/in there, it is whatever THEY put in/on/lubricated my machine with the previous two times I had it serviced there. John's arrogant, condescending attitude was/is such a turn off, under no circumstances would I EVER consider patronizing Village Sewing ever again. To try to blame ME for the mess HE made, and then get angry with ME when my friend insisted I bring it back is him deflecting from the fact he just didn't want to take the time to do his job properly. Future customers: Consider yourself warned!

Sentimental Journey may be the best-kept secret in Marin County, hiding in plain sight in downtown…read moreNovato. We go in intending to have a quick look. This is usually a mistake. It's a wonderful jumble of little dealer spaces absolutely stacked with stuff. Most of it isn't my thing, which is actually part of the fun. I'm not looking for an antique. I wander around until something jumps out at me and says, "TAKE ME HOME." Every time I've answered the call, we've ended up with something that has become a family heirloom. The prices are remarkably reasonable, especially for Marin. There are currently two lamps I've been keeping an eye on that are a little more dinero than I want to spend right now. If they're still there next month, however, we may need to have a conversation. What I especially love is the complete absence of sales pressure. The people behind the counter have always been genuinely kind. Nobody follows you around, nobody tries to sell you something, and nobody seems remotely bothered if you spend ages looking and leave empty-handed. They just let you linger and discover things. Half the time we find something wonderful that we absolutely HAVE TO TAKE HOME. And half the time we don't. Either way, we leave saying some version of the same thing: "How is THIS in Marin?" If you like old things, strange things, beautiful things, things you didn't know you needed until five seconds ago--or just the pleasure of poking around without anyone trying to separate you from your wallet--go have a look. Just don't blame me when something chooses you.
