I will say my only complaint is I wish there were more fabric types. They obviously specialize in quality cotton/linen fabrics but I would love to see more types!

Add to it calendar immediately after you receive confirmation for the class because the time doesn't show up in your email confirmation. There's plenty of parking nearby.

The instructor (Valerie, I believe) was very detailed in her instructions that included threading a machine, debugging, ironing, sewing different stitches and lengths, assembling and dissembling the machine, and making a mini pillow. After she demoed different steps, she would have us try and wandered the room quickly correcting us if something wasn't quite right. We also had to repeat each action twice to develop the muscle memory. There are classes available for all things a beginning sewer needs to know up to how to make your own bodice at advance levels. The store has patterns, fabric, and take-home kits. If you cannot make a scheduled workshop, you can do the lesson over private instruction. I had followed YouTube instructions before and done lots of searches trying to figure out how to sew with limited success. This class multiplied my knowledge by 1000 and helped me identify what I was doing wrong on my own so I could course correct. If you're interested in learning to sew, this is your place!

There are glass bangles sold for both adults and children here, as well as clothes, and fabrics for a one-of-a kind outfit. The jewelry sold ranges from nice, fancier pieces, to smaller, everyday wear. The store owner was willing to help customers, but it did seem like a lot of the visitors were there to see the beautician, Kiran. I accompanied my cousin as she had a hair and makeup appointment with Kiran on a Saturday afternoon. My cousin brought her clothes with her that she planned on wearing that night as well as the jewelry needed. This was good as it made getting ready a lot easier. It did slightly bother and annoy me that my cousin paid ~$200, but because Kiran was the only beautician available, every 20-30 minutes, my cousin's work would be interrupted so that Kiran could do someone's eyebrow threading. This all worked out in the end, but what if my cousin had a shorter timeline for the work to be done in? I would have wanted the salon to ensure that another staff member was there to take care of walk-in appointments. I'll be honest, I did not feel Kiran took too many suggestions from my cousin and did more of what she wanted than what my cousin wanted. I also felt that because she kept losing time on the walk-in appointments, Kiran rushed through some of my cousin's procedure. Ex: Nails could have used another coat of polish, lashed should have been trimmed because they looked very unnaturally long, the eyebrows were colored in too dark... My cousin just kept being told that it was too late to make any changes. Kiran also did my cousin's henna/mehndi the night before and did a pretty great job with the designs. Kiran was very nice and I do know she works hard (standing on her feet the whole day), but if the day was any busier than it was, I don't think it's fair to charge such a fee if time is not just dedicated to one client.

My sofa continues to look new three years after their work to reupholster it, and I recommend them to everyone.

The item had a good rating on the site, from 20 reviews. The materials listed for the item were 96% steel and 4% plastic. The item had decorative end caps that hid the rubber feet that hold it against the wall. The 4% plastic that comprises the item was the entirety of the end caps. They were extremely thin, extremely brittle plastic. The lone item was shipped to me in a box that could have contained a quantity of 3-4 of this item. No bubble wrap or any kind of protective packaging was included and thus the item arrived with a fragile end cap destroyed. It turns out that all 20 of the reviews on the site were provided by people who received the item for free, as part of a promotion from a website called influenster.com in exchange for their review. When I set up a return for the item there was seemingly no option to request a replacement (not that I wanted another), and I was informed that $8.00 would be deducted from my refund to pay for the return shipping. This item was garbage that was overpriced at $24.99 or even the $19.37 that I'll be getting back. It was such a bad shopping experience that I sincerely feel like I was scammed. I will never do business with JCPenny again.
