After numerous failed attempts at teaching myself, I booked a private lesson with Colleen. Over the course of two hours, she taught me all about operating my machine, basic stitches, entry-level sewing tools, and I even made a drawstring bag! She was kind, patient, encouraging, and a FANTASTIC instructor. I can't wait to take some of her group classes!! The store itself is great. Lots of sewing supplies that are of higher quality and will last you a while. The people who work here couldn't be nicer or more helpful. If you feel intimidated by learning to sew, this is a perfect spot to start learning. Even if you're already a great sewer, you'll find everything you need here. They have a spacious section in the back where they teach group and individual classes; you can also rent a desk/machine if you need some higher end equipment to work with. Huge thank you to Colleen and the staff for helping make my entry into sewing fun and easy!!

I come here with my wife Melanie T. What I like about this place is that if the husband is bored, there is plenty of aisle space to walk and for the husband to get his steps. Oh by the way, that owners and helpers are friendly and helpful even if they don't seem so initially.

The sales lady who was cutting fabric was rude and short with me. I called the # on the tag and Daniela teaches sashiko which is a Japanese mending for jeans etc. She was polite and respectfully returned my phone call with a text. She didn't want to sell the jeans not because they're a demo product but more so because they needed mending. I'll try and take one of Daniela's classes in the near future.

I love you, SCRAP PDX!

SCRAP is a boost to the imagination in ways one can only imagine (hehe), all the while helping the environment by keeping stuff out of landfills. It's a great place to donate all those things you thought you were gonna use for something or other but never got around to it and now don't want to do it. I found some watercolor tubes I'd been wanting to try out - one almost-full tube had a $20 price tag still on it - I paid $4! I'd go every week if I lived closer... you just never know what someone's gonna be donating.

I suggest to go check out the Portland fashion supply store if you're interested in fabric in the Portland area that is not from Hobby Lobby or JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores also, I would keep an eye out on Facebook and other social media to see if they have another fabric swap going on.
