Such a cute sewing and fabric store! The employees were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It was…read morehonestly addicting looking through all the fabrics, and it was so hard not to want to buy everything. They even had some fabrics that were sold out online, which was such a fun surprise! They do still require masks, but they have free masks inside made from their own fabrics, which I thought was adorable. My mom has been getting into embroidery and learning how to sew, and she loved the community feel here. She's already sad we don't have something like this back home in Vegas Definitely worth visiting if you love fabric, sewing, embroidery, or just cute creative spaces!

Alright, Sewing Arts is my fabric store - my go-to, my happy place, my "I swear I'm only getting…read moreone thing" (lies!) spot. I could not be more thankful that this gem exists AND that it's conveniently close to my main work location. I've quilted on and off since 2008, but when I moved to LA in 2016, my sewing machine and fabric took very, very long naps. When my boss announced she was pregnant, I knew I wanted to make her a baby quilt. After hours of Googling fabrics, I walked into Sewing Arts thinking I knew exactly what I wanted. HA. Jokes on me. In fact, jokes on me every single time I walk in thinking I know what I want. Contrary to some of these other reviews, the ladies at Sewing Arts are some of the kindest, most patient humans I've ever met. Even when I'm standing there overwhelmed by *gestures broadly* literally everything, they're endlessly helpful. Sewing Arts was my introduction to Ruby Star Society, which has since become my absolute favorite modern fabric line. I swear they carry every bolt from every collection (until it sells out). The selection is remarkable! There's also a bountiful selection of patterns, notions, materials (quilting cottons, linen, rayon), cross point kits, etc. etc. And the best part? The community. On my very first visit, Kathleen asked if I knew about the local quilt guild. I didn't at the time but now the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild (LAMQG) is what I lovingly call "quilt club," and I look forward to every monthly meeting (held at Sewing Arts!). The guild nights even come with a lovely member discount on fabric... dangerous for my wallet but wonderful for my soul. The only downside for me has been their long-arming service, which I've tried twice with less-than-great results, especially for the price, so I won't be going for a third try. Also, masks are still required, which you'll see mentioned in many reviews but the owners stand firm on the policy and even provide free masks at the door. There are a plethora of classes also available here (garments, quilting, etc.) so whether you are a beginner sewist, an expert, or somewhere in between - there's likely a class for you! All that to say, Sewing Arts has truly given me both inspiration and community. Five stars forever!!!

When I explained what it is, and that I would like to buy cotton for a garment, he asked what my budget was. This was to me a very inappropriate question, and I was returning to the entrance.

Getting the perfect blend of warm colors, tight-knit fibers, and pure linen was proving extremely difficult, but I finally found a closeout bolt that was perfect. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough of it available for my project, and I walked away from another store with only a sample of what I wanted. Elegant Fabrics had several close matches, and after explaining what I wanted to the owner and showing a sample, they were able to procure a near-perfect match that was both higher-quality and cheaper than my original choice. I got a level of personal service that I did not experience elsewhere; while most stores were trying to "sell me" on something I didn't want, this one made sure I got exactly what I asked for. Best of all, they do fabrication too! Instead of bringing my fabric to another shop, I was able to get high-quality curtains made right here. Shopping here was a great experience, and after reading the couple of negative reviews on Yelp I am pretty sure there are some embellishments, omissions, and outright lies on the parts of the reviewers. The owners were an absolute pleasure to work with. They didn't even ask for a review, but after getting on here and seeing that they didn't have very many I felt compelled to leave one. The curtains I got look awesome (despite my terrible photography). I will be recommending this place to friends and family in the future.

This fabric store has made the biggest mess of an upholstery job. I bought fabric from them and…read moreTHEY BEGGED me to let them do my UPHOLSTERY work. I reluctantly let them do my upholstery as I have worked with the same person for years. This began the nightmare. First it was due on June 20th and they gave them the two weeks they requested. My sofa was an already gorgeous Mcreery Sectional from HD BUTTERCUP and I was only reupholstering because my elderly dog had urinated on the down and I need to replace the down. While I was reupholstering I decided to better the couch by adding additional Down and to add piping to the seat cushions and widen the arms of the sofa from 4 inch to 8 inch. June 20th came and went and no sofa. No response from anyone. I called over and over. Finally when someone answered they started with the excuses. First it was someone's mother was in the hospital. Then it was someone's brother was in the hospital. Then it was the car got impounded. Then the delivery truck had issues. Finally after another 5 days the sectional arrived. Frustrated already I was just happy the sofa was being delivered. The delivery showed up in an old 80s small beat up truck and my huge sectional was stacked, tied and forced into a tiny truck looking like something being delivered to the trash dump. They didn't have any movers or helpers so my boyfriend and I had to unload the sofa. When we got the sectional inside and unwrapped it. EVERYTHING AND I MEAN EVERYTHING WAS WRONG. HERE BEGINS THE NIGHTMARE. 1. The upholsterer they used admitted to me that the fabric didn't arrive to him for 1 week. Then he also admitted that he didn't start on the project until the 20th when I started calling and the fabric store called him to tell him the job was due. 2. Since he didn't start on it and then on that day his wife went into the hospital that he "JUST HAD SOMEONE ELSE DO THE WORK" and he didn't even share the details of what we had discussed. 3. Since he didn't discuss with the people doing the upholstery they just made the same sofa details as before which was 4 inches different than the new down cushions that they had ordered for the sofa and the piping that was supposed to go onto the couch and cushions. They also didn't get the detail to add 4 inches to the arms. 4. When the sofa arrived they had forced the 8 inch down cushions and pillows into the old 4 inch casings making all the cushions bend and warp and looked like marshmallows. They didn't even touch they were so warped. Of course this was unacceptable and I discussed with the upholsterer. He left without taking the sofa back. 5. The next day Meenu and her husband demanded payment in full and said the "SOFA WAS BEAUTIFUL". I explained to them all of the issues and that it was unacceptable. They told me I was just picky. The upholsterer came back out to the property and we went to Restoration Hardware and we looked at other down sofas and what was wrong. He agreed that the job had been done incorrectly and he vowed to fix it. The next day MEENU AND HER HUSBAND call me from the store and in the back ground her husband said "FUCK HIM" and they yelled at me and told me to pay it in full which i refused. One week later they show up to my house and take one seat and one back cushion to remake the covers. Those got returned 10 days later. Then they picked up one more seat and 2 back cushions that have now been 2 more weeks total of 6 weeks now and keep in mind my chaise, base and piping has not been redone. So i have one chaise in a 4 inch case. A base that has 6.5 inch arms and doesn't match up left and right side. They have completely lost 4 down pillows that were originally with the couch and now two seats with piping and 3 cushions that they have in their possession. Meenu now has started threatening me and when I say threatening me I mean that she says she hopes I die. She says she hopes i end up in the hospital. She has told me "TO SUCK HER DICK" and says she is going to show up to my house with a knife and cut all the fabric off my couch.
