Visit date: April 25, 2026…read more Almost didn't see the store because I was looking for a store sign, but when I saw the address and the sewing accessories on the wall just beyond the glass door, I knew I was in the right place. Ingrid confirmed it as soon as I entered. I just purchased my very first sewing machine yesterday, although slightly used and still looking brand new, it did not come with other accessories. "I have a Brother (sewing machine) now, but also have two sisters", I said. Ingrid appreciated the joke and told me she likes corny jokes because she is young at heart. She gave me a tour of this new location and expressed how much bigger and better the lay out is for their needs. At first I thought it was a tiny store until she led me to the back where all the sewing machines were. I just needed needles and the one they carry is the Schmetz brand which is highly recommended compared to Organ. I bought a pack of Universal and Denim needles. Along with my purchase is a raffle ticket for their Grand Opening this Saturday, April 25. Crossing my fingers. This is the store to go to if you want high-end quality sewing machines that you won't find at a Wallyworld. Really serious stuff for embroiders and quilters, plus the supplies you need.

Thank you again, Anne.

What a great store! I recently took their learn how to sew class, and it was such a fun evening…read more I had a sewing machine I had never used and the instructor was great at giving me the basics on how to use it. The instructor was absolutely fantastic--knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly helpful. They made everyone feel comfortable, whether you had never touched a sewing machine before or had a little experience. They took the time to answer questions without judgement and with patience and made sure no one felt left behind. The class was well organized, hands-on, and relaxed, creating a welcoming environment where everyone could learn at their own pace while having fun. I walked away feeling much more confident and excited to keep sewing. If you're thinking about learning to sew or just want a fun night out while picking up a new skill, I highly recommend taking the sewing class. I can't wait to come back for more classes and projects!

I have wanted to learn how to sew for awhile now, and stumbled upon this little shop on my way to…read morethe gym a little ways down. I signed up on their website for the introduction to sewing class where you get to make a tote bag, and also stopped in beforehand to check out the store. The owner, Mike, has been so friendly and helpful whenever I stopped by the store. He suggested that I bring in my sewing machine before the class so he could take a look to see if it was in good condition. Otherwise he does have about three sewing machines at the store available for the class, but you do have to let him know first so he can prep it! The intro class was very beginner friendly, starting from the basics (learning to wind a bobbin and thread your machine) and then you get to sewing! Our class started a little bit late (I think a few people struggled to find parking), but Mike was very patient and ensured everyone was learning. As a total beginner with no knowledge of sewing, I appreciated that Mike went around checking on each of us and helping us whenever we needed. The shop is very clean and well organized. The fabrics are so cute, and there are also some sewing notions as well. Overall I'm so excited that this little shop has opened up on the neighborhood, and I'll definitely be back!

I've visited Yarn and Thread Expressions three times now and every visit has been genuinely…read morewonderful. The shop isn't open every day, and while part of me wishes it were, it actually makes catching it open feel like a treat. It turns a simple supply run into something I look forward to. My first visit was just to browse. I picked up a few skeins from the discontinued/orphan bin and some fun extras for a crocheter friend. The selection immediately stood out -- this isn't big-box store yarn. The fibers are higher quality and much more enjoyable to work with. On my second visit I purchased a beautiful wool/alpaca blend hank for fingerless gloves. Carol balled the yarn for me and then taught me how to split it into two equal balls for my project. The concept honestly confused me at first, but she explained that you divide by weight rather than yardage -- and suddenly it clicked. One of those "aha" moments you remember later. Shortly after, I returned for two more hanks of the same yarn. Carol again walked me through using the swift and ball winder. I even sat at the big studio table ripping out a glove... twice... while she patiently taught two young students to crochet. Watching her explain foundation chains and rows made it clear she isn't just a shop owner -- she's a gifted teacher. Most recently, I brought in gloves I was struggling to finish. She patiently explained the construction in a way my brain could actually process and showed me an alternate method that achieved the same result but was much easier to understand. That kind of support is priceless. Carol consistently shows kindness, patience, and deep knowledge of fiber arts. The shop also carries a huge variety of patterns for knitters and crocheters at every skill level. Parking can feel confusing the first time, but it's easy once you know: there's a lot behind the building -- enter via the driveway to the left of the neighboring house -- plus plenty of street parking. As long as the shop is open, I'll keep coming back. This place feels less like a store and more like a fiber community.

If she hadn't helped me, I would never have been able to figure out how much yarn I needed for my projects! It will be my go-to from now on, as I live close by.

They have a bunch of yarns, predominantly wool and other natural fibers (cotton, linen, silk, mohair) though greatly limited to the smaller weighted yarns. I didn't look too much into knitting/crochet accessories carried as I was on the hunt for a beautiful fingering weight wool. Service was very polite and they offer the option to have your purchased yarn balled for you! I don't enjoy balling yarn myself and prefer the actual knitting process so this was an immediate yes for me!

Her space is clean, calm, and elegant, which matches her energy. I felt so safe leaving my gown in her capable hands, and she treated it as if it were as special to her as it is to me. My gown was vintage and came in with a few challenging stains and repairs. She offered valuable advice on design choices I didn't even know I had, and did so with respect to my own style. She was very accommodating with scheduling, welcoming of my guests (friends and family) during fittings, and responded quickly to all communication. I couldn't be happier with my choice to bring my wedding gown to Bridgette, and would refer any loved ones looking for bridal alterations to her in a heartbeat! Thank you, Bridgette, for everything you've done to make our wedding that much more magical.

Bridgette helped me transform my grandmother's hand-sewn wedding gown from 1947 into my dream…read moredress. I came to her with very little knowledge about the process or what was even possible with the gown. She helped me create a vision, gave me thoughtful structural advice and options, and guided me toward decisions that ultimately led to the wedding gown of my dreams. She began by having the dress cleaned and brought back to its original color, then stripped it down to the base fabric and rebuilt it from there. We discovered it was just slightly too short, so she offered creative suggestions for how to work with it. She was patient with me at every appointment as we discovered what would work with the realities of the dress while still honoring my new vision. She added multiple layers, boning, and the perfect basque waist, and now it fits me beautifully. It is also surprisingly comfortable. What started as a 79-year-old vintage family heirloom became a bespoke couture wedding gown that feels like it came from a high-end boutique. I am forever grateful for Bridgette's patience, creativity, and expertise and would recommend her to any family, friend or loved one looking for a personalized, uplifting experience!
