I come here with my wife Melanie T. What I like about this place is that if the husband is bored, there is plenty of aisle space to walk and for the husband to get his steps. Oh by the way, that owners and helpers are friendly and helpful even if they don't seem so initially.

She didn't want to sell the jeans not because they're a demo product but more so because they needed mending. I'll try and take one of Daniela's classes in the near future.

SCRAP is a boost to the imagination in ways one can only imagine (hehe), all the while helping the environment by keeping stuff out of landfills. It's a great place to donate all those things you thought you were gonna use for something or other but never got around to it and now don't want to do it. I found some watercolor tubes I'd been wanting to try out - one almost-full tube had a $20 price tag still on it - I paid $4!

The staff are very knowledgeable, and provided me with information on several projects my partner and I are currently working on. The owner, Zachariah, is a font of knowledge, with years of experience in the industry. Located in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood, Sewlarium is a bit of a drive for me, but I'm happy to support small businesses striving to serve their communities. This store is clean, well lighted, and surprisingly well-stocked for such a small footprint. I was able to find several yards of beautiful jersey material that I can't wait to make some shirts from. There is plenty of street parking in front of the business, and on the side street as well. If you're making a trek to visit this store from elsewhere in Portland like me, consider yourself in for a treat because there are some great restaurants and coffee shops in the area. (Not to mention Mike's Drive-In across the street!)

After numerous failed attempts at teaching myself, I booked a private lesson with Colleen. Over the course of two hours, she taught me all about operating my machine, basic stitches, entry-level sewing tools, and I even made a drawstring bag! She was kind, patient, encouraging, and a FANTASTIC instructor. I can't wait to take some of her group classes!! The store itself is great. Lots of sewing supplies that are of higher quality and will last you a while. The people who work here couldn't be nicer or more helpful. If you feel intimidated by learning to sew, this is a perfect spot to start learning. Even if you're already a great sewer, you'll find everything you need here. They have a spacious section in the back where they teach group and individual classes; you can also rent a desk/machine if you need some higher end equipment to work with. Huge thank you to Colleen and the staff for helping make my entry into sewing fun and easy!!

When people think of the PNW, the history of the Oregon Trail often comes to mind. Pendleton…read morerepresents this time in our history with high quality wool blankets and clothing of beautiful, rustic prints, most in warm colors and patterns of various landscapes. The desert, mountains, forests and coast of the west and PNW are expertly weaved in. The blankets are heirlooms, classic in design and made to last for generations. And they are warm! I have one and even on the coldest night, it keeps me toasty! The wool is soft, not scratchy like some wool items can be. Having one of their coverlets or blankets on your bed will transform your room. Literally. Their clothing, for men, women and children is just as exceptional. The coats, jackets, capes and sweaters are so warm, in addition to being comfortable and beautiful. I'm considering purchasing a cape to keep me warm on my daily walks. The weight is perfect plus it allows for free arm movement. To adorn your home there are rugs in a variety of sizes from small doormats to full area rugs. They make bath towels, throw blankets, and pillows; they have an ever expanding collection of prints which immediately shout Pendleton. So many patterns to choose from! Most are muted colors on a neutral background. Aztec, jacquard, plaid, stripes, heritage, rustic. Some with prairie scenes, the Northern lights, mountains, eagles, elk and other animals and landscapes found in the west. Each is truly a work of art! If you love the prints but want something smaller, they have coffee mugs, water bottles, canteens, baseball caps, wallets, totes, handbags, backpacks, and even masks with their signature prints. They make fantastic gifts that people love to receive. This store, on SE McLoughlin is massive with all the regular premade merchandise plus rows of fabrics. And an area where they sell remnants by the pound and yarn. Of course depending on what you are looking for, it's hit or miss but there was a large selection. While I don't sew, I am considering buying a 2 yard remnant and paying someone to sew a hem so I can use as a throw for my bed. The colors and pattern is so beautiful that I can't stop thinking about it and know it will instantly transform my room. Prices are definitely on the higher side and some specific items actually made me gasp out loud! But you are paying for the brand, legacy and quality. Even though I was in the store for a significant amount of time, I was never acknowledged or greeted. While this usually doesn't bother me because I'm very independent and prefer to browse on my own, but because the store was so large and I was the only one there, having no acknowledgement of my presence felt cold and uninviting. For those interested in the history, Pendleton is an Oregon icon dating all the way back to 1863 when Thomas Lister Kay, an Englishman and weaver by trade, made the cross country journey to the PNW and began working in Oregon's woolen mills. He then opened a wool mill in Salem, OR. The blankets and clothing were not only practical, they became the standards of trade and ceremonial use. In 1909 his descendants took over the defunct Pendleton Wool Mill in Pendleton, OR, and Pendleton remains a private business run by descendants of Thomas Kay to this day. Pretty remarkable. John Bishop, the great-great-grandson of Thomas Kay, is president and CEO; and great-great-grandson Peter Bishop is the Executive VP of Merchandising and Design. Pendleton operates seven facilities and 41 retail stores that sell products throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan, and Korea. The company headquarters are in Portland, Oregon, and the fabrics and blankets are still woven in PNW mills. So while visiting Oregon, bring home a  piece of history that is beautiful and practical! And for those locals like me, having a touch of Oregon history accenting your home is a nice touch.
