There is TONS of fabric here, as well as findings, tools, trim, etc. As a person with mobility issues, I won't lie, it's not the most accessible shopping experience ever as some things are down low or up high. But staff were available and willing to help. Prices were reasonable and it's nice to be able to see material in person rather than online.

I should have made them my self and I am not a particularly great seamstress. I had to wait weeks more to have them redone. I paid top dollar for professional window treatments. What a waste of time. I also had pleated shades hung behind the curtains and now they are not easy to push back up. They will probably not last a year, and I also paid top dollar for those. Once they die I will go to Lowe's and buy off the shelf. Don't waste your time or money on Calico's products. I am very unhappy with the outcome.

Excellent quality of all their products! Unique fabrics that are gorgeous. The needlework kits, cross stitch and embroidery, were very unique too. Sashiko products are also sold here too, which is what I decided to purchase some of. Some of the items for sale here I had never seen anywhere else. The staff person working was knowledgeable, helpful, and nice. I also thought the prices were good because of the high quality of the items. Will visit here again on my next trip to Evanston.

I shopped and shipped everything directly from their website and never had to pick up the phone once! Oh, make that a 7th love for carrying Heather Ross fabrics. I'm obsessed with #HeatherRoss. I love to sew. I am crafty, and I have a huge love (can you tell?) with fabrics! Thanks to Evanston Stitchworks, you'll find really fun and unique designs at their shop (currently available online). This isn't your typical fabric store. They support really cool independent designers and quirky fabrics for quilting and making clothes...well for sewing anything really. They also offer knitting supplies and all the books you might need to learn how to sew or knit. Evanston Stitchworks also offers many crafty classes (currently virtual). A few years ago I took their beginning knitting class. For some reason my brain gets all discombobulated when I try to knit, but the class was really fun. The owner was patient and kind and did everything she could to help me fix my mistakes along the way. Everyone else knocked it out of the park, so it's just not something I'm good at. I'm so glad this small local business exists, and I'll continue to purchase fabric from them. Speaking of fabric, don't you just love the designs I picked out for my two little nieces? They are Heather Ross designs, and my SIL is planning to make dresses for them. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

Pure gorgeous color and texture (yarns,…read morebags, buttons, books, and all manner of needles, hooks, and well-crafted accessories) invitingly arranged everywhere you look. Amazing staff, exceptionally skilled and caring, are generous with their time and expertise. It is a delightful, cozy space, and if the yarns themselves or the samples displayed don't inspire you to start a project, the wooden tables continuously occupied by knitters (and crocheters, too) will make you want to pull up a chair and begin. Seated around the tables, it always looks like a group of friends have gathered to share time, stories, and craft--yet these are classes. Yes, you can sign up and join the party! And I have. Not only are there classes for specific projects, there are also classes where everyone is working on their own individual projects. Oh, how I love being able to have expert advice on how to read my patterns, fix my mistakes, and finish my projects. I love Three Bags Full, and the passionate, talented people who work there with my whole heart, and I invite you to visit. Support a local, woman-owned business. Take a class (they fill quickly), browse the notions (practical and/or whimsical, just what you need), and treat yourself to some fabulous yarn. Bring a friend, or make a friend when you get there (or both), you'll be so glad you did!

The staff are welcoming, helpful, and go above and beyond to make this place feel as much like a community as a place to shop. I once told the owner I wanted to try out EPP and she gave me a little tutorial on the spot and helped me round up all the supplies I would need. Nice fabric selection with a mix of lines from more modern Ruby Star Society to more traditional. Very cute notions (more stock in the back - so ask if you don't see something you need)! I love shopping here and love having this store as part of my community.

I thought about getting a new piece of furniture, but knowing that redoing our master bedroom is on my list of home projects thought I should hold off. At first the rip didn't bother me, but then it got bigger and bigger. It probably didn't help that my children kept sitting right on top of the rip. Sigh... Finally i couldn't handle looking at it and reached out to my decorator to see if we could get it reupholstered or if she could help me find a new piece of furniture. She suggested getting someone to sew the rip. She said it wouldn't be perfect, but would hold me over until I was ready for the rest of the room. We had just finished a bathroom remodel and think she was well aware I was over pouring money into the house for awhile. I did request a quote on Yelp and Padi responded right away. They confirmed they could fix the rip for $225, but warned me it wouldn't be perfect. We set a time for them to come by the next week and they showed up right on the dot. I showed them the rip and they looked skeptical that they could fix it, but got right to work and 30 minutes later it wasn't perfect (as they claimed), but it was SO much better...and well worth $225! My biggest mistake was not calling them right when it started ripping because I think then it would have been even less noticeable. I"ll definitely reach out to them directly in the future for any furniture restoration needs. They were responsive, reliable and did exactly what they did they were going to do. In fact, the finished product was even better than I expected!
