When I needed thread for my outdoor sun umbrella, the staff was able to quickly advise me which…read moretypes of thread would wear well outdoors through rain and sun, and they had a large assortment of colors to find a perfect match. I've never shopped for fabrics there but they seem to have a large supply! Prices seemed good; I paid less than I thought I would have to, given today's inflation of prices everywhere you turn. Their prices seemed fair. Looking forward to going back!

I used to sew. I used to crochet and even knit, but life happened along the way, and ALL that fell…read moreto the wayside. Fast forward to now... I happened to find this shop on a search for Carpenteria gift shops as something to do on our recent road trip up to Cambria. When I saw that they are part fabric and knitting shop, along with gift shop, and when I saw how cute and colorful it is, along with 5 star reviews, well, I thought, let's see what this is all about. All's I gotta say is that it was everything I had hoped it'd be, and even though I walked out empty-handed (THIS time), I was super impressed with the adorable gift-type items, knick-knacks, and everything in between. The store was beautifully decorated. It was colorful, inviting and enticing, and it had a huuuuuge selection of fabrics and things related to sewing. Now that I'm retired, I have nothing in my way to returning to sewing again. I even still have my Singer sewing machine from when I turned 16. It's now an antique... just like I am. LOL Roxanne's is not that far away, so I can easily make a return trip to buy something... and will !!

They offer classes, personalized service, on site sewing machine repair, and their prices actually feel fair for the quality. Good value, especially compared to ordering online and guessing.
