There is an amazing wall of solid fabrics. This is not a large store buy they manage to have a great selection worth the drive to Gig Harbin. Owners are helpful and knowledgeable. They enjoy welcoming you! read more

They are always immediately helpful and offer great suggestions without pressure. The women who own the shop are great to work with.

This store is bright and fresh and the women who run it are wonderful teachers! I have struggled with sewing my whole life, from being unable to finish my pillow in high school home economics to having heart palpitations getting anywhere near a sewing machine. I had the pleasure of attending a class with Brittany today on Sewing Machine Basics and wouldn't you know it I walked out of there today with a finished pillow case.... with French seams no less! Brittany starts off her class simply by running down the lingo of the sewing machine aka what is the foot, what do those weird markings on your machine mean, and how on earth do you follow the instructions for threading the machine. She also had me "practice" sewing straight lines (without thread) which made getting the idea of sewing and the muscle memory much easier. She also had a cool handout to practice sewing corners as well. Once you run through both of those beginner tasks she has you pick out fabric for your task. She cuts it and irons it, explains how to pin, and lets you at the machine. At this point she lets you do your thing and ask her if you have questions. I'm sure this varies by skill level, but I found it super helpful to try and to make my own mistakes. In addition to the finished product I now actually understand my normal mistakes... aka turning that wheel on the side away from myself- a mistake I continue to make over and over again. Sew Hip and the wonderful women there have me excited about actually knowing 1) how to thread a machine, 2) knowing how to wind a bobbin, and 3) being able to sew in a straight line. I'm not 100% sure I want to invest in a sewing machine at this point but that's the beauty of Sew Hip- you can pay for "studio time" to sew using one of their machines. This is a brilliant business model. Holiday tip: Fridays and Saturdays in December 2017 they are doing a gift making class from 11am-1pm. $25 for studio time and supplies. What an amazing idea! read more

Sew Hip - Pillow I made during the Sewing Machine Basics class at Sew Hip. - Fabric Stores Near Me - Gig Harbor , Washington

Such a fun store. I went in because I needed a seam ripper, and the lady who worked there immediately found it for me. I say it's fun though, because looked liked there were tons of events and classes held there. If I had had more time, I would have checked out the full offerings because it felt like a lot goes on there. I'll have to stop by again soon. read more

This is a great little sewing shop in Gig Harbor! I have twins taking private sewing lessons and they both say the instructors are encouraging and helpful! They get to bring home what they make during their two hour lesson, and you call tell how proud they are of their projects. I highly recommend this store. They made custom UW pillowcases for their brother's birthday and they look wonderful! read more

Sew Hip - Highly recommend Sew Hip in Gig Harbor! - Fabric Stores Near Me - Gig Harbor , Washington

I recently came here with my friend, and found it to be what I view as a paradise for people who enjoy sewing, because this place has anything and everything you could possibly need to get started. Now, I am not a sewer, but on my recent visit, I had a lot of questions about it. Thankfully, co-owner Britt, was ready for my noob questions. Not only was she incredibly patient, but she was extremely knowledgeable. She came across as genuinely passionate for what she does In addition to running the store, they also teach workshops for sewers of all ages and ability levels. In fact, my friend is a beginning sewer who has been attending class on Saturdays, and has already begun putting together beautiful clothes for herself. That said, this is a truly unique place, and the thought of it being located here in Tucson brings a smile to my face. read more

I just took the beginner sewing class. It's amazing, welcoming and extremely informative! The sisters are very helpful and wonderful to work with. The shop is small but clean, loads of adorable fabrics, and all the needs to get you started on your sewing adventure. Some of the other ladies in my class are repeat customers, which speaks volumes about a teacher (teachers). You can also rent a sewing space by the hour. Go to their website to find out their class schedules and special events or just stop by and have a chat. If I had the funds I'd take all their classes! Thank you Sisters for the fun and advice. read more

Fantastic, just wonderful curbside service for thread matching. Got a color of thread that looked like it'd been dyed to match my bias tape! They've been super friendly and flexible throughout the pandemic, and I'm glad they're taking various steps to keep not only their customers but also themselves safe. Really appreciate their silliness to help in ways they probably didn't do before the pandemic! Plus, there's a super chill senior rescue dog. read more

Sew Hip - Shop dog - Fabric Stores Near Me - Gig Harbor , Washington

Awesome store with great customer service. My sewing IQ is very low, but I needed to replace a button on a pair of jeans. There was an online store but I opted for in store buying. The staff was super friendly and willing to answer my dumb questions. They offer sewing classes which I think would be cool if I had more time for new hobbies. Definitely shop here if you're into sewing or you need supplies. read more

I have a confession to make. I don't know how to sew. Well, I don't know how to sew very well. So I will be taking the sewing classes closer to May. Sew Hip is such a cute shop with emphasis on all things sewing. I know they offer classes and I can't wait to take one (or two)! read more

I took a beginner sewing class here pre Covid. Always wanted to take other classes. Learned how to make a beautiful pillow case in the second class. Then Covid. I just went online and I believe fro what I read that they are not coming back to Tucson but have relocated to Washington State. Such a great loss to the area. read more

My favorite sewing shop. The girls are super friendly and knowledgeable. They're helpful and are sweet to my baby girls. I went in looking for a specific fabric and Britt looked up the fabric and ordered just what I needed then emailed me to let me know it had arrived. Kristin always, always, always remembers my name. I love that. read more

Well curated fabric and notion assortment and lovely, knowledgeable staff- can't ask for much more.

I went in for the first time today to check it out. Amazing and attentive staff! A very cute place with a nice selection of quality fabrics and notions. Can't beat a place like this in midtown! read more

Sew Hip is a wonderful addition to Tucson. This new space is clean, stocked with everything someone interested in seeing could need, and offers so many classes and things to check out! I took part in a girl's night out and it was so fun. I would absolutely be back for the sewing 101 class. If you're looking to get into sewing then this is your place. Check it out! It's a gem. Beautiful, clean, and lovely all around. read more

Sew Hip - Making my summer cover up - Fabric Stores Near Me - Gig Harbor , Washington

Went here with a friend to try my hand at sewing. No experience, made a few mistakes, but the owners made me feel comfortable and helped me out along the way. Shop was clean and cute! They even stayed a bit after closing to, patiently, help my friend finish her project. I have a super cute bowl holder that has helped me not burn my hands after microwaving. I will be back! read more

Excellent customer service. I found the fabrics and materials I needed. I"'ll be most likely coming back to the store.

I just stepped into a wonderful turn of fortune! I like to sew apparel and most of what is left in Tucson is quilt and craft. This new store is a godsend. I am taking a one up from basic sewing class in August. Britanny was kind enough to schedule a class for me on a weekday (Friday) since I have obligations every other Saturday. I am going to make a very simple yet attractive knit dress in the class. I have trouble with fitting and can do only a small part of what I need due to middle age creep. The store is quite pretty and stocks some great cottons, knits and linens. Two sisters own it, can you imagine? What a great adventure and one I hope to help along in my own little way. I also got a very simple yet attractive (hard to find) pattern for a top that I can make out of all the cotton I have on the shelf. I am so jazzed, ready to get at it! read more

This is absolutely my new happy place (coming in a close second behind a library). I signed up for sewing 101 having not taken a sewing class in more years than I care to talk about. What an amazing experience. Kristen and Brittney (I apologize for any misspellings). They are knowledgeable, patient, and really just the nicest women. And let me not forget Jane who assisted with some of the classes as well. She's also a superstar. They have a lovely selection of fabrics and notions. They offer a wide variety of classes, as well as private lessons. They offer kids programs also. I wish my nieces lived closer, because they'd be going. I only wish I hadn't put off taking this class. It's a wonderful experience to be taught by someone who have such a passion about what they do. If you always wanted to learn to sew, need a refresher course, or just want to improve your skills, I can not recommend this store highly enough. Just go. You'll thank me later. read more

I sent my son to Sew Hip for lessons based on a recommendation. He loved it, I'm signing him up for more and sending his sister, too! I really hope this shop flourishes and more kids learn this skill. They provide everything you need and obviously love what they do. I'm very happy to found it! read more

What an amazing find! I took several classes here, including Sewing Machine Basics and Sewing 101, and was exceptionally pleased with both the instruction and the finished projects. The two sisters that own the shop are friendly, extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. They explained things very clearly and were great at helping their students and other clientele find the right tools and methods for accomplishing their goals. I will return again next year to take more classes and use the "drop in" time. read more

This is fine, nicely decorated little sewing shop in the heart of Tucson. The owner/manager is a very friendly, helpful person. They offer classes for people at different levels of sewing ability. What I was looking for was fabric. Since Hancocks closed here in Tucson I haven't been able to find a really good place for fabric with variety, quality, and a pleasant atmosphere in which to shop. There's a limited selection of fabric but very high-quality. It's a bit pricey but worth it! It's nice to have this sweet little place in Tucson. read more

We LOVE Sew Hip! My daughter attended sewing camp over the summer and also takes other classes with Sew Hip. The staff is super friendly and encouraging with kids wanting to learn to sew. My daughter loves to sew and sews all the time. They taught her everything she needs to know ...as I don't know how and when she comes home she knows just what to do! read more

Love this shop- they're super helpful and friendly! They always have classes for a variety of levels and showed me how to use my own machine from the bottom up. read more

This small independent shop owned by two sisters is fun and hip! I'm taking a class there and the atmosphere is one of women having a great time while sewing. It you haven't been there, you Should go! read more

This is a wonderful creative space run by sisters. They offer both sewing classes and drop in times. I took the Sewing Machine Basics and was very impressed by their warmth, knowledge and teaching style. Each step was clearly explained and demonstrated and then students did practice tests along with ultimately creating a pillowcase for a travel pillow using 3 different fabrics - body, edging and trim. We learned how to thread the machine, how to adjust settings, to sew straight seams, turn corners, line up fabric and pin, back stitch and make French seams. All in all, very beneficial and I have already signed up for more. read more
