| - I almost detracted a star based solely on my experiences working here in the summer as my first job, a couple years before they got that nice AC. The owner is sweet and keeps to herself, staff is nice, all have worked there for years now. Seriously, like 20.
It gets five stars because it is the closest thing to the feeling people must be describing when reminiscing about a candy shop that I have ever felt. And for staying the same. Those worn cardboard boxes have been there holding those patches, beads and other sew-ables as long as I can remember, and they always have the same ones, with a few additions here and there. The fabric revolves like crazy, but you can always find killer deals on pricey stuff like denim, velvet, or the embossed denim I got to make curtains, which has elements of both and was 5.99/yard. Poly cottons usually run about 2-3/yd, depending on the print. The walls are lined with rolls of binding, trim, and ribbon of all types. they have an entire isle of tassel trim. For Halloween, you can't go wrong.
Finding a lot of some fabrics can be difficult, and there is no guarantee they will have the same fabric again... in fact, it's almost guaranteed not to happen. Then again, you might just go in10 years from now to find the same roll of neon orange nylon mesh you remember tripping over.
