Absolutely disgraceful experience. My girlfriend went into Sewfisticated in the middle of the day…read moreafter a wardrobe malfunction, just looking to purchase a bit of fabric and some safety pins so she could quickly fix her dress before an event. Instead of helping, the older man and woman running the store were condescending, rude, and outright dismissive. They belittled her, treated her horribly, and then chased her out of the store telling her to "go elsewhere." This wasn't at closing time -- it was broad daylight, and the store was open. My girlfriend is one of the sweetest, most soft-spoken people you'll ever meet. For her to come back to the car in tears says everything about how cruel and unnecessary their behavior was. This is the exact reason people are abandoning small retailers for online shopping not to mention the cost savings. When you treat customers with contempt, you lose them forever. Sewfisticated should be ashamed, and I can't imagine this kind of service keeping them in business much longer.

I got my sewing machine for Christmas and tried watching many youtube videos and couldn't get the hang of it. This class taught me on how to use my machine, the different types of needles, and fabrics we can use. I didn't know any of this stuff before taking this class, and didn't think it would be such an in-depth class but glad it was because it was super informative and now I feel super comfortable with my machine now. I will be signing up for more classes in the future with Eva! She was an amazing instructor!

The art teacher is very knowledgeable and helped me feel confident in creating arts and crafts. The art teacher is very patient, kind, and helpful. She made art and crafts seem very do-able with every learner that participates in the activities. The interior is very uniquely designed where each wall and space has its own character. The location is very easy to get to via public transit and there are parking spots on the streets. I highly recommend this art studio for a date night or family activity!

I wasn't comfortable leaving him so hung back and helped out. One mom dropped off a kid who needed a bit extra help settling in and the teacher was visibly annoyed with him. Just not the type of place that's warm, inviting or inspiring . I took art in Eastern Europe throughout my childhood and the teaches commanded the room. This was basically overpriced babysitting. Hoping it's just this one class. Going to try a different school a go.

The night before the class was to take place, I received notification that there was a "time" change...to the next week. That is not a time change, that is a DATE change - which is something else entirely. Oh, and I don't live in Atlanta...I flew in for this event. Needless to say, the class was cancelled as they had nothing else to offer me as a substitute. Not using CLASSPOP ever again.

Chef Harold was extremely informative and a great instructor. We really appreciated his time and attention to all of our questions. The only downside was initially. The music was pretty loud in the venue and it was hard to hear what the chef was saying. Eventually it was turned down and everything was so fun. I would recommend this to anyone. The venue was also very good with service at the counter. Their selection of brews was quite delightful!

We went with the rug tufting activity, which was fun and I learned I don't quite have the patience for it. However, I'd try it again now that I've made one rug. It definitely can be tiring on the hands and takes a few hours so not something that can be rushed. You can choose any design you'd like as long as you have a photo and they can project it from your phone to outline. At the end they put a non-slip backing. They offer other activities too, great place to go on a rainy or cold day or whenever one is feeling crafty!

The…read morefact they have a misleading sign when these products are marketed to children is not only unethical but illegal. This is what you call FRAUD. They know exactly what they're doing and upselling on top of it to profit off innocent children. Extremely disappointed as I have always loved the paper store and shop there all the time. Even after returning to the store to return the product, calling them out for being fake, the woman still wouldn't give my money back and even tried justifying their fraudulent practices. The woman at the counter got flustered because she knew the truth and what she was doing. Do not trust this store.

I explained to Jessica the manager that I don't live close by and it would be an inconvenience she still said they couldn't do anything about it and I would have to come back into the store for my refund.
