I attended the intro to knitting class here today and it was incredible! The shop itself is very…read morecute and it seems like the classes are very great as well. My knitting class was very well run, organized, and informative. The student:instructor ratio is very low so we each got lots of personalized attention to work through our unique problems. I'm so happy with the results and it was also such a fun and enjoyable experience!

Gather Here is much more than a typical fabric shop, it's a vibrant community hub for crafters in…read moreCambridge.

Fabrics are beautiful, discounted way less than the quilt shops BUT the same quality and brands. I've been to quilt shops charging $10-$15 per yard for the same fabric Sewfisticated charges $3.99 to $4.99. Sales persons are helpful and interested in whatever project I'm doing. MOST of them are serious sewists, upholsterers, fabric artists. Just go in and be courteous-i seriously wonder about the complaints listed about poor customer relations. JOE IS A ROCK STAR

I came to the Garment District to check out the Halloween costumes! They have a huge selection of…read moreideas and costumes, all types of hats, shoes, masks. It's a wonderland! They also have a huge thrift section. I wasn't super sure about the quality of the deals. There were fun items and a lot of good stuff, but it seemed like some items were way too pricy to be worth it especially for used or stained items. We didn't really go into the by the pound or mens sections. The costume stuff was a tad on the expensive side. Also, they forgot to remove the security tag from the thing I purchased. I will have to return to get this removed. Might browse the racks to see if there are other great finds!

Yo....Garment District in Cambridge, MA completely flipped the script on me. Why was I expecting…read morethe whole 2 floors to look like a damn thrift dungeon with clothes on the floor??? Instead, Garment D. Is Organized, spotless and straight-up vibey. Two full floors to roam. Hot-pink walls, black-and-white checkerboard floors like stepping into an 80s music video. It's quirky, loud and proudly vintage. Everything's sorted with precision: pants with pants, denim with denim, tops with tops. These folks don't play around. And yeah, the majority of the clothing here is all use. But like I always do- I buy my stuff, take it home (or the cleaners), wash it and it snaps back looking like new. By the way- they do carry some new items- as in not used as well. My daughter and I bought some vintage denims, sweaters and a few other things. Zero mess. Zero stress. 100% unexpected.

I got my sewing machine for Christmas and tried watching many youtube videos and couldn't get the hang of it. This class taught me on how to use my machine, the different types of needles, and fabrics we can use. I didn't know any of this stuff before taking this class, and didn't think it would be such an in-depth class but glad it was because it was super informative and now I feel super comfortable with my machine now. I will be signing up for more classes in the future with Eva! She was an amazing instructor!

It's a delightful sunny little store with lovely canvases, a good selection of different kinds of fibers and other needlepoint supplies. They have classes for all levels, as well as one-on-one help. They have finishing services to turn completed canvases into pillows, ornaments, belts, etc. There are also beautifully stitched examples all around the shop. The co-owners are friendly and knowledgeable. One is a former owner of Needlepoint of Back Bay, the shop that was a couple of blocks away on Newbury Street. The shop also carries gorgeous yarn for knitting and crocheting, along with patterns and classes. They're a refreshing alternative to the rudeness and hostility you encounter at Knitting and Needlepoint on Newbury street. So if you love needlepoint there's no longer a need to drive to the suburbs (unless you just want to.)!
