    I used to be an inveterate fabric shopper and sewed for myself and others since childhood, getting…read moremy first "toy" Singer that actually sewed dolls' clothes. My granddaughter has it now after her Dad learned on it too, when he was young. Because of aging and vision loss, I no longer do much sewing, just the quick small repair using extra lights and magnification. Also I find I often need to "remodel" an item that I bought with the plan to use an alteration to the construction. That is what led me to Sewbo today as there are no more multi craft stores left near me. I prefer quality parts and local ownership so the loss of one chain was really no big deal. But the remaining fabric store, one of my long time favorites, does not carry the sort of thing I was looking for. It specializes in high-end classic fabrics and has a talented staff in more formal design and construction. It pains me to no longer be able to support that business which I had for nearly 50 years. Somewhere along in recent times, Sewbo opened quite close to me but in a rather obscure corner of a shopping center we use regularly for other things. For those confused by its address on Baseline, know that it is on the "back" (south side) of the Basemar shopping center, behind Dougs Diner but with its own parking accessed from 27th Way which connects 28th St to Broadway. You can turn into the store access from 27th Way next to the Core Yoga building. With the reserved parking spaces and before lunch, we had no trouble taking an empty space. Not only does the store carry many choices in contemporary fabrics, they carry lots of notions like zippers and threads. They also teach classes, even for children, which is a great summer project. I wish my granddaughter was here to take one. I found exactly the zipper I was looking for, their colors and lengths stock was expansive. The price was minimal though it appears to be high quality too. A staff member greeted us immediately upon entering and was so helpful in finding the exact type zipper I wanted.. I wish even more that I still was sewing regularly as it is so nice to have another comprehensive quality local source for projects.

    I wandered into SewBo looking for notions in the post-Joann reality we're now in. And I was…read moredelighted!! It was as if I had stepped into the early days of Fancy Tiger!! I'm thrilled, inspired, and grateful that the Joann closure pushed me to look up new options. I didn't find exactly what I was looking for (green metallic thread to alter my daughter's formal) , but I don't really know where else to go at this moment -- I can't match thread colors online, I need to physically see them. The thread I purchased will suffice, and now I know about a wonderful shop just 15min up the road.

    This is a great little fabric store in Boulder. They not only have some unique quilt fabrics, but…read morealso a very extensive garment fabric selection. It's amazing how much beautiful material is in this little space!! We went there because my mom was visiting from out of town and one of her sewing students was needing a few different pieces of wool for her "Make it with Wool" project for the year. We brought in the swatches of what had already been purchased for the project and they were able to pull quite a few wool fabric options that were beautiful. They not only pulled this fabric and placed in the best lighting for pictures for us to send back to her student, but also gave some swatches for my mom to take back to Indiana for the final decision. Not all of the selections we found were available in their online store, but they were willing to take an order over the phone and ship it to her. I have a good feeling this may start to be an annual tradition. She usually selects fabrics at Mood in New York, but the extra level of service provided may make her permanently switch! It also doesn't hurt that they have been a supporter of "Make it with Wool" for over forty years!! We will most certainly be back!

    Elfriede and staff were joyful, friendly and helpful. They have a large selection of Liberty Lawns…read moreand other fine fabrics for apparel and quilting.
