    I picked up a vintage 1970s Kenmore at a garage sale, and Sewing Lab, so very kindly, helped me to understand how it worked, how to thread the needle and refill the bobbin. They did not have to do anything because I am not currently one of their students, but I WILL BE this August because of how kind, gracious and wonderful they are! Though it looks non-descript from the outside, it is a very appealing enclave of work areas, fabric, patterns, and Janome machines once you enter. I am excited and can hardly wait for adult classes in August!

    One of my completed projects, love this dress I made with direction from Camilla!

    Just realized I've been taking classes for a year now and haven't shared what an amazing experience this has been. Such an amazing outlet to be creative, grow a skill, and learn from someone so kind and knowledgeable. Not only are the classes so fun and everyone is so encouraging, but Camilla has such a great ability and is the best teacher! This class is always the highlight of my week, I highly recommend joining a class when you can.

    The evening classes at the Sewing Lab have become the highlight of my week! The owner, Camilla runs the classes herself. She's created an environment that's uplifting, fun, and I've learned so much! She's very knowledgeable and supportive of any creative sewing project you might want to try, and is able to suggest projects based on your experience even if you've never sewn before. The new location is also such a fun and useful space with all the tools and materials you could need. I've met great people through the classes too. I highly recommend these classes to anyone looking for a creative outlet!

They stock a limited number of basic notions and loads of utility fabrics like interfacing. One side of the shop teaches sewing too! Staff is a bit cold- not unfriendly but not warm and fuzzy. Most of the staff see and can help with a project or fabric suggestion. Parking is easy to find. Located in a small strip mall it isn't easy to find but once you do you'll be back!

This led to me spending way too much time and money at LA Finch Fabrics on a random Saturday. This sewing based brick and mortar is 50/50 LA Finch and Sewing Lab. LA Finch specializes in all things sewing, selling all the necessities, quirky accessories, and a huge variety of fabrics for any project. I grabbed a new pair of sewing scissors, a rolling blade, and a grid cutting mat. Sewing Lab offers weekly classes for beginners and specialty classes for those looking to further their craft. They even host a monthly sewing club?! Such a fun idea for building community within the creative space. The perfect spot for all your sewing needs. LA Finch Fabrics over Amazon. All day, every day.

After doing my research, I came across Eduardo Renteria's Upholstery -- and from the moment I met them in person, I instantly knew this was the right place. They were so helpful, warm, and personable, they truly felt like family. I could tell my couches would be in excellent hands... and I was right. Choosing Eduardo Renteria's Upholstery was truly the best decision I could've made. Not only did they help me pick the perfect fabric, but they went above and beyond in every single step of the process. Their turnaround time was unbelievable -- and they even surprised me by working through the weekend to make sure I had my couches before the Thanksgiving holiday. That kind of extra effort was completely unexpected and meant so much to me. They finished my couch and oversized chair in just over a week, and the quality and craftsmanship are beyond exceptional. You can tell they put extra time, care, and pride into making sure every detail was perfect. My pieces look and feel brand new, even better than I imagined. They completely exceeded my expectations, and I am SO happy with the result. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. If you're thinking about reupholstering anything, this is the only place you should go. They are truly top-tier!

    I love Michael's…read more But unfortunately, I don't even bother with the only one thats close to me due to the employee's that work that store.... They are ridiculous with profiling people!! They think everybody is in there to steal so they'll either blatantly follow you around or take the more low-key approach and you'll notice they just so happen to start stocking shelves in the same aisle you're browsing in. They also like to do this thing where they announce over the P.A. system "Long Beach P.D. - Line One" to make you think they have called the police on you to get people out of the store!

My sweet, very patient mother has now had to make FOUR separate trips to fix a painting they originally damaged and incorrectly framed. Each time, instead of taking accountability or offering even the most basic apology, Kristen somehow found multiple different things to blame -- none of them being the store. We dropped the piece off for the FINAL time in December. December. We never received a call. Not once. After multiple attempts to reach the store by phone (which went unanswered or unreturned), we finally had to physically go today (in February) to see if the artwork was complete. And instead of even a simple, "We're so sorry for the inconvenience," we were met with callous, passive-aggressive energy and the most aggressively condescending tone I have ever encountered in a retail setting. No ownership. No apology. No professionalism. Just attitude. Shame on you, Kristen! I have genuinely never dealt with someone so unhelpful and unprofessional in all my years at any store anywhere. It was shocking. We will absolutely never bring another piece here again as long as she is employed. There are too many businesses that value their customers to waste time being treated like an inconvenience for expecting basic competence and courtesy. Save yourself the stress and take your artwork elsewhere.
