I cannot get enough of this place! Great line of fabrics and notions. Everything I need for my sewing projects can be purchased here. They also offer classes and I look forward to taking one! Thank you for the scrunchies kit and the fabrics! — Michelle
What a wonderful experience for a somewhat of a lost art! … Such a wonderful space to work in & a great vibe for any age to learn this craft! — Lisa
My 5 + 7 yo did a private lesson with Erica- she was so fun and patient. I appreciate the community and atmosphere the owner Karen is creating. Great place to learn. Beautiful fabrics. I highly recommend if you’re interested in sewing. — Diana
What an amazing and cute space! We had a great experience here. The owners and staff were incredible - they clearly foster a warm, encouraging, and supportive environment! — Tanya
We love Sew on Central! My daughters (ages 7 and 9) have taken multiple workshops and camps here, and have had great experiences every time. I am amazed at the projects that they sew. Highly recommend! — Leah
Scheduled a 1-1 with the owner Karen and my 13 year old daughter to learn about sewing. She helped us unbox her new machine and showed my daughter how to set it all up. My daughter was so engaged and is really setup for success now. It was really great to see her so interested in this and look forward to enrolling her in some classes/camps. This is a great place, come here with confidence and a great experience. — Jeff
I took my granddaughters for a sewing lesson with Karen! She’s amazing! So patient and made the girls feel very comfortable. They love sewing and want to go back! — Peggy
