I was offered usage of the materials, drafting table, and her wealth of knowledge to help me learn the skills I wanted to learn (which is finite at this time). Connie and I had a conversation about what I wanted to accomplish and she offered me advice and guidance on the best way to go about it. Within an hour, I feel confident that I can make my desired repairs and build upon that knowledge. Connie let me know that should I wish to join a class or expand my skills, that was possible. The studio is small but very well lit (I accentuate that for the visual aspect to sewing). Folks sit close to each other, but it feels communal and pleasant.

Awesome little sewing studio in West Portal taught by crafty San Francisco designer Connie…read moreWalkershaw, whose two other retail shops around the city have always been a good source of quirky, simple menswear and women's wear. Many classes here at the sewing studio are geared towards kids (seven and up) who are able to complete 5-6 projects in a week. This is extremely ambitious for a beginning sewing class that lasts a few hours a session. My student says the class is fun and she felt well supported by the instructor and her assistant. Projects do get completed alongside good supervision and instruction. The studio is unmarked beyond a simple black awning that reads aptly, "Sew."

Was in the neighborhood so popped in searching for some wedding attire for my boys. Searched around…read moreand was disappointed to see some cat&jack and lower end brands mixed in. In my opinion prices were a bit high for used items. Saw a baby bjorn bouncer for $50 when i see them on FB being sold for less. Nike sneakers were perhaps 50% off retail price, but with some patience and waiting for a good sale, you can definitely snag some for the same price brand new. Toy selection looked sub par. A lot of the toy items i feel like i can find for free on buy nothing groups, as parents are usually desperate to get rid of them. I saw a pair of Zara trousers that were perfect but because they were new with tag and retailed at $35, they were selling them for $20. Still a bit high considering I am purchasing from a thrift store and have limited selection, so I had to pass on it. I am better off buying a new pair of pants on sale, especially for something that will be worn 1-2x If you're in a pinch and cannot wait for something to go on sale, might be a good place to pick up something last minute.

Picket signs are everywhere where English and Spanish speaking friends have gathered in the Mission district to lock hands, sing songs and make plans together. This rally, myself and the wonderful store that I am about to discover have so much in common - grassroots (a hands-on philosophy) With songs ringing in my ears, tears still in my eyes, I spy a vision, my beloved miracle tonic is on the horizon. I look to the sky and wink at someone with gratitude;-) I really don't deserve such good fortune but here I stand in front of a yellow, red and blue flag centered on a blue awning. On a tiny side street with the words that so appropriately belong near Ecuador's flag: "Native Hand by Hand" But wait, it gets even better. Do you believe in fate? In destiny? I do. Because, when I walk into the store, I recognize the artisan goods immediately. *chills* This is too good to be true. Frantically, I'm trying on blouses and jewelry, and then I see the owner. Will she be frightened if I grab her and hug her? Long black hair, gold-beaded necklaces, intricate embroidered blouse -- the uniform of the indigenous of Ecuador. Her trademark features are unmistakable. She is a beautiful sight for my sore eyes to see. I am a descendant of Ecuadorian indigenous from northern Ecuador. The mother and daughter who run this store are from Otavalo, a beautiful artisan town located two hours north of Quito, Ecuador. It is home to the most famous market in South America. It is a town of magic, textiles and masterpieces. I could tell you about my travels to Otavalo but I would only make you jealous. Here is a link about Otavalo to get you excited about this shop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otavalo What do I buy? A turquoise embroidered blouse, a beautiful white beaded necklace and an indigenous hat that is a trademark of Ecuador. We spoke of Ecuadorian festivals while the beautiful Mother (the artist) kept her hands busy with her exquisite craft of jewelry-making. Handmade (Hecho a mano). What is more beautiful? Banana Republic merchandise? Designer things? You will NEVER cherish those possessions like the ones made by hand. Like the ones made by this family. These are the things worth handing down to our future daughters with love. The prices are VERY affordable! You can't even get deals like these in Otavalo! I am envious of you who live in the neighborhood. You should be cleaning out this gem of a store of all of their merchandise (jewelry, bags, scarves, shawls and gleaming shelves of artisan masterpieces) on a regular basis. Dear Native Hand By Hand, You can't imagine how much I will treasure the things that I have purchased from you. The pictures submitted for your business from flight suit are from me! (Thanks Jedi) Best of luck to all of you who cherish handmade treasures for finding your way here. Native Hand By Hand, defining beautiful.
