It is so fun to look around in this store because they have everything related to sewing and quilting and machines that do it all. But my favorite it taking the classes with the very talented experts who are patient with me and help me learn better techniques every time I'm there. Everything they sell is great quality and their service is outstanding. read more

Went into five eighth seams yesterday, and I know nothing about fabrics but had to pick up some for someone. They were so kind right off the bat, they helped me find the perfect fabric and helped me understand why it would be good for the project it was meant for. I got like 4yards for 55 dollars which I believe is reasonable but either way they were so helpful. Had so many pretty frantic and ribbon and other supplies. Had some for holidays which was fun. I got a yellow flower one. Parking lot was big and wasn't too busy. Thanks for helping a beginner! read more

After buying a Singer at a second hand store last year and not being able figure it out myself, I turned to the experts. Initially my daughter attempted to sign us up online but it would not processed. She called and Bonnie answered the line with some bad news - the class had one spot available. We decided to allow her to take the class as I took Home Ec and usually hand stitch things I need including face masks. A few minutes later, Bonnie called back and advised us that she'd confirmed with the instructor that she could safely add one more person! What customer service! We arrived at the quaint cottage on Sam Rittenberg that we passed several times before realizing what it was so it was and settled in for class. What a great refresher and the teacher was very patient and gave clear instructions. We look forward to taking Sewing 101! read more

I was visiting my sister in Charleston this weekend and always love to find new shops when I travel. I wish this shop was close to me! Big open space for classes . And all of the supplies and fabric you could want! I wasn't in the market for a new machine but they have those too. The staff was friendly and helpful. Next time I'm in town I will definitely be back read more

While on a road trip, I was looking for stores that sell apparel fabric and came across Five Eighth Seams. It is a not a huge shop, but has a nice selection of quality fabrics and friendly service. I could've spent hours in there had I not had my husband in tow. I finally decided on some lovely soft cotton lawn and a fun printed knit, although there was far more fabric I would have loved to buy. They carry a bunch of indie patterns as well. I wish this shop existed where I live, because I would be there every week! read more

I absolutely love Five Eighth Seams! I've taken several classes there and bought lots of fabric and notions. The staff are kind and helpful. The selection is top notch. The layout of the store is especially helpful for quilters--plenty of places to "audition" fabric combinations before making final selections. read more

I was visiting Charleston on vacation and of course had to look for a fabric store. I make clothing and it is so hard to find a fabric store that isn't just a quilting store. This store is an absolute gem! They have a beautiful selection of apparel fabrics. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I am very jealous I don't have a store like this in Connecticut! read more

Took a class here and it was wonderful. I got lost in all the patterns of fabrics. There was something for everyone. The staff was really friendly and helpful without being pushy. I will love my zipper pouch forever and hope to elevate my sewing skills soon! read more

Five Eighth Seams - Fabric Stores Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Sweet shop, great staff, wonderful selection! I left with a suitcase full of fabric on my Charleston weekend!

a cute place with quality designer fabrics. Its not very big but a perfect local stop for fabric lovers.

This little gem of a sewing shop is a wonderful addition to the Charleston area. Tucked back in a shopping center in West Ashley, this place has a great stock of fun fabrics, patterns, and knowledgeable staff to help you decide on which is best for you. Even better: they offer sewing classes that are laid back, fun, and an approachable way to sewing. With new, nice machines for rent there, you don't even need to own one to get started. If you're new to sewing, or have been sewing forever, this is a great spot. read more

I went here today with my wife. I was the pack mule and wielder of the debit card. I can't say I know much about this stuff, but my wife was in heaven. They have a good selection of unique fabrics and other sewing type stuff. They also sell machines, teach classes, and have a club for kids. It seemed like the staff really care about the customer and were genuinely interested in what my wife will make with the products that she purchased. read more

Loved the store and the staff was so helpful! Beautiful fabrics and Knits. Great pattern selection for children and women. Worth the drive from Georgetown and would recommend to anyone passing thru the Charleston area. read more

The fabric here is beautiful and the selection is decent. Not as much quilting fabric as there is knits and clothing fabric. The employees have been average at best. My biggest complaint is that my sons really wanted to do sewing camp and the only one with openings was a kids class making skirts. I asked if they could have another project to work on in the class and she told me "no, the classes are already set. And anyways, boys aren't interested in our classes." Hmm, I wonder why. Not a very inclusive place. Sad. read more

Found this awesome shop while looking for patterns sold locally on pinterest. Beautiful selection of unique fabric designs, and notions.Very pleasant atmosphere, unlike one of the chain fabric stores here im Charleston. Looking forward to taking classes and spending more time shopping (replenishing the hoard). read more

Nice selection of bright, modern cotton fabrics. Staff are friendly and helpful. I'll be back!

Classes are great and so is the fabric selection! They have more apparel fabrics than you can find in any other fabric store in the area. most fabric stores focus only on quilting but this store has a huge stock of knit and rayon fabric in addition to quilting cottons. The staff is always helpful in picking out which pattern to go out with which fabrics. Very knowledgeable staff. read more

Took the basics sewing class here with a group of girlfriends. We made a zipper pouch an it took us about 2 hours. They showed us how to work each person's machine and put up with our chattiness! :). The most important part was the ability to drink a glass a wine while doing so! I recommend this place for super adorable fabric and classes! We are all now taking the 101 class! read more

A friendly shop with a beautiful selection of fabrics and independent label patterns. The knit selection is amazing.

Today I tried to visit this business but it has moved from the Ashley River Road address listed in YELP. Check their website for an up to date address. It wasn't too far away but the traffic was so bad, I couldn't make it to their new location. Sounds like a nice shop though. Took us over an hour and a half to drive 8 miles to this shop from the James Island Campground and return at 1:00 in the afternoon. Charleston traffic is intense! Not the shops fault of course. read more

I enjoy taking the sewing classes there and have good experience for most part except this one person who has this attitude that I am too busy and don't bother me. I love the instructors otherwise and am very happy that the store exists so I can learn sewing. read more

Trying out my new modern machine after 51 years on a "forward and reverse" basic machine, has been a challenge. Thank goodness I found Five Eighth Seams. After trying out a new embroidery hoop and getting nowhere, I called in with my questions. They encouraged me to bring my project in and they'd figure out what to do. I did and they did and I learned a lot in the process. What a great support for those of us at the start of a very steep learning curve. They offer classes, which I am looking forward to taking. read more
