Ok, a Hobby Lobby review... really? My wife is an artist and a crafter, I am dragged to many stores…read moreand most of them I just walk around waiting to leave.. Not at Hobby Lobby. If you have never been there you would be surprised of all the unique things they have. Every time we go I leave with stuff in the shopping cart. My office has a large number of things from Hobby Lobby from a J and K tins on my wall (my kids names) to a distressed picture frame with my family picture in it. When all else fails and she shops longer then me their is always the #hobbylobbychallenge. Any store that I do not choose to go into that I don't mind being in is a 5 star in my book.

I have NEVER had a bad experience at the Mishawaka Hobby Lobby. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I have had to return things, and never did I have an issue. I will continue to shop here.

I could always find what I needed at Jo Ann Fabrics. Their closing will be a great loss to our community. It was a fun place to learn crafts and skills. They had great items to decorate your home and surroundings,things to help you make your next party and holiday just how you dreamed all while wearing one of your own designs all at great prices! Thank you Jo Ann for all the fun and memories! My family and friends will miss you and all you offered to Michiana area!

I am telling you that the ladies in the framing department are just outstanding. When I get…read moresomething framed I definitely need a professional because I can get some crazy ideas. They let me look and try everything, then guide me to where I need to be. I was able to do the last one quickly because I was under a time constraint ( they were about to close) and that actually is my favorite. Yesterday I noticed that the back of a painting had come loose on one side and I knew I wasn't capable of repairing it. The incredibly nice blonde lady ( sorry, I didn't catch her name, but I think she's a manager) said walk around the store for 15 and come back. She fixed it beautifully! The entire staff is just so nice and helpful.

Love the look and feel of this quaint shop. And don't let its size dissuade you -- Make South Bend…read morehas several finds that will turn your head (and likely open your wallet). I got to visit Make South Bend during one of its Makers Markets, which meant that I got to chat with some makers along with shopping. In particular, I chatted with an awesome jewelry maker. I wish I remembered her name. I bought two hammered copper necklaces from her -- two for $20 was a deal I couldn't pass up -- and she seemed so excited to be there and talk about her craft. Make hosted a soap maker, other jewelers and some paper goods from what I can remember. And the display at the front of the store really drew me in. There were a few T-shirts and tank tops that I wanted so much to take home with me. Alas, they were only available in small and 2X. I definitely plan to peak in on my next South Bend visit and see if they have more available. Make also hosts classes. If I lived in Michiana, I would definitely take advantage of these. Melton crayon art, pine cone projects, wreath making, screenprinting, laser cutting Star Wars ornaments -- I so want in! And as I told the owner, I love that she focuses on the crafts part of making, as well as more technical aspects, like laser cutting and Arduino programming. So many makerspaces only showcase technical arts; Make has a more well-rounded vision. South Bend peeps, find your inner creative at Make!

They have so many colors, stencils, tools, and of course the beloved eraser for the mistakes. The prices of the items are similar to what I have seen at other pottery settings, with so many unique items to choose from. The care that went into the firing and finishing process is evident in the lack of damages in my work and the thoughtful packaging when I picked up my piece. In my experience there was no extra charge for the firing process and the project took about 2 weeks to get my piece back, and I received a helpful message letting me know my piece was complete. Could not recommend this place more! For a solo trip, girls day, or even a more organized event with a group! Hope to be back soon!
