I thought I left this review but I'm not sure what happened so I'll make this short and sweet. I…read moredrove from San Bernardino County all the way over here because this is the only place that I can find that had everything I needed. I walked out spending a couple of hundred but I also walked out getting every piece of material that I wanted. Silk gabardine rayon and some polyester cotton blend. I hate to say I will be traveling here often but with no Joann fabrics we're left with downtown LA. And I'm not crazy about going downtown LA with a 85 year-old.. international silks and woolens had everything I needed and wanted if I could give them 10 stars I would. The gentleman that assisted me was extremely helpful and had knowledge on his materials..

I literally can't recommend this shop enough. It was my first time stopping in a few days ago, and…read moreI've gone each day since lol. They have the best selection and the staff is so kind. Valentina, Mario, Hanna, so many more beautiful people. They make the experience so amazing. I love the niche/vintage selection they have. The staff is so knowledgeable, welcoming, helpful. Love, so happy I found this spot.

Such a cute sewing and fabric store! The employees were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It was…read morehonestly addicting looking through all the fabrics, and it was so hard not to want to buy everything. They even had some fabrics that were sold out online, which was such a fun surprise! They do still require masks, but they have free masks inside made from their own fabrics, which I thought was adorable. My mom has been getting into embroidery and learning how to sew, and she loved the community feel here. She's already sad we don't have something like this back home in Vegas Definitely worth visiting if you love fabric, sewing, embroidery, or just cute creative spaces!

Alright, Sewing Arts is my fabric store - my go-to, my happy place, my "I swear I'm only getting…read moreone thing" (lies!) spot. I could not be more thankful that this gem exists AND that it's conveniently close to my main work location. I've quilted on and off since 2008, but when I moved to LA in 2016, my sewing machine and fabric took very, very long naps. When my boss announced she was pregnant, I knew I wanted to make her a baby quilt. After hours of Googling fabrics, I walked into Sewing Arts thinking I knew exactly what I wanted. HA. Jokes on me. In fact, jokes on me every single time I walk in thinking I know what I want. Contrary to some of these other reviews, the ladies at Sewing Arts are some of the kindest, most patient humans I've ever met. Even when I'm standing there overwhelmed by *gestures broadly* literally everything, they're endlessly helpful. Sewing Arts was my introduction to Ruby Star Society, which has since become my absolute favorite modern fabric line. I swear they carry every bolt from every collection (until it sells out). The selection is remarkable! There's also a bountiful selection of patterns, notions, materials (quilting cottons, linen, rayon), cross point kits, etc. etc. And the best part? The community. On my very first visit, Kathleen asked if I knew about the local quilt guild. I didn't at the time but now the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild (LAMQG) is what I lovingly call "quilt club," and I look forward to every monthly meeting (held at Sewing Arts!). The guild nights even come with a lovely member discount on fabric... dangerous for my wallet but wonderful for my soul. The only downside for me has been their long-arming service, which I've tried twice with less-than-great results, especially for the price, so I won't be going for a third try. Also, masks are still required, which you'll see mentioned in many reviews but the owners stand firm on the policy and even provide free masks at the door. There are a plethora of classes also available here (garments, quilting, etc.) so whether you are a beginner sewist, an expert, or somewhere in between - there's likely a class for you! All that to say, Sewing Arts has truly given me both inspiration and community. Five stars forever!!!

I've never seen such a chaotic and cramped place. I asked for Batik fabric, and the sales person…read morehad never heard of it. When I explained what it is, and that I would like to buy cotton for a garment, he asked what my budget was. This was to me a very inappropriate question, and I was returning to the entrance. He urged me to look around in the store, assuring me that they had solids and I would have to look around. It was a very art experience, and without my husband there, it would've been creepy.

We took it to our upholsterer and very happy with how it looks. We found this same fabric online for $70/yd and we got it for $48/yd, so great value there. The employees are very helpful and if there isn't parking out front, there are some street parking options.

I am so disappointed in some recent work I had done on two large bottom sofa cushions. The…read morecushions previously had memory foam filler. Diamond does not do memory foam. They measured the cushions and I selected a firm foam for the cushions. They were done 3 days later. I kept telling the sales woman that I wanted a rounded muffin like top on both sides of the cushions. When I went to pick them up, they were already in a plastic bag and an employee carried them out to my car while carried the 2 old foam fillers. They were not rounded on the top and bottom as I requested. Since the older fabric had stretched from use, now there is a ring of wrinkles everytime I get up from sitting on these cushions. I am not happy with the results

The store itself had everything you could possibly be looking for, for a sewing project or anything related. Their selection of trims was incredible and they also had patches and other items, yarn as well. They also had many many rolls of different types of fabrics, and they also offer clothing modifications. The best part, in my opinion, was their shop dog, who was so incredibly friendly I spent more time petting him than I did browsing around the store. He was standing right outside of the store, so if you're wary of dogs , even though he's so friendly, it is good to note. The store is right on Lincoln Blvd and the parking situation might be difficult if the front areas of the store already have cars there. There is a small lot next to the store but it might be reserved for the restaurant next door. I parked in the residential area right next to the store, so I did not notice if the lot was specific to the restaurant only. The staff was very helpful and friendly as well. Was fun to just browse all of their items and it was nice to have a dog to pet!

I have been coming here for over 10 years and cannot recommend it enough. The employees are always…read moreso kind and helpful. While the selection is obviously smaller, I find it less chaotic than most of the stores in the fashion district and always manage to find what I am looking for anyways.

If you're a label whore they have designer fabrics as well...Balenciaga, Versace & lots of designer denim as well. The sales people are all very knowledgeable. Zoey helped me out today. She really knows her stuff and was so informative. She was very patient helping me to decide what textile was best for the project I was working on. She was also super friendly and seemed to like her job a lot. I hope to see her again next time I'm there. They also carry my fav, Liberty, gasp! Their selection is unmatched. You want to be dripping in "diamonds" they have that fabric in MULTIPLE colors. You want Missoni like prints but don't want to pay Missoni $, they have an abundance. If you have all the time in the world, don't mind hopping from shop to shop, paying for expensive parking, and speak multiple languages to be able to communicate, the garment district is your best option. Yes the prices are higher here than the garment district, but you're paying for extreme convenience. Everything is all in one place, parking is plentiful and free , they stay open much later than the garment district, they have a points program, they have free patterns if you sign up for their newsletter. They also have a selection of trims, notions, buttons, and they have a HUGE selection of upholstery fabrics as well. The biggest problem with this shop is that there's TOO MUCH GOOD STUFF!
