Sew Crafty Houston

Sew Crafty was pretty awesome… but it’s closed now…

I *heart* Sew Crafty! The store is beautiful and inspiring and the workspace upstairs is awesome. Even though I can’t sew that well I never feel intimidated. They have everything you need to get any cool crafty project done and the staff is super nice and knowledgable. Sarah, the owner, is AWESOME! She is seriously the boss. ;)

everyone should visit sew crafty at least once. the owner, sarah, is SO amazing and helpful. all of the employees are super fun and sweet. i’ve taken a handful of classes their and the instructors have always been very professional and dedicated :) the class prices are perfect — the groups are always relatively small and you are able to seek one on one help! you are paying to learn a wonderful craft you can use forever — and in most cases this included supplies.
if you don’t want to take a class yet, just stop in to look at their fabric and other wares for sale. the interior is so bright and colorful. love love love :)

I took an intro to sewing class here and had a great time. All around fun place, great environment, knowledgeable instructor — I liked it!

This place makes me wish I was better at all things crafty, but lucky for me they offer a ton of classes in everything I want to learn.
I’ve taken a craft night and an Intro to sewing class here, and I can definitely say that the place is super-​cute, the instructors are friendly, fun, and knowledgeable, and they offer a wide variety of classes in everything from knitting, to beading, to sewing and more.
One of the classes I attended was a beading/​cocktail party. We gabbed and beaded, drank on wine and champagne, and ate tasty cookies. I was in bead and glitter heaven!
Only one issue I have with this place: I wish the upstairs craft area had a little bit better lighting. My eyesight isn’t even that terrible and I was straining to see some of the tiny little beads during a beading class. Otherwise, I give them 2 thumbs up!

Sew Crafty is one of my favorite places in Houston. Sarah is so nice and everyone else I’ve met is friendly and helpful. There is a huge variety of classes offered, just check the schedule online! I’ve taken two classes so far and hope to take more! You can also buy fabric and all kinds of crafty kits and materials.

Cute little place! I’m not sure exactly how one would utilize a place like this, unless you needed to use a sewing machind and wanted to pay for usage, but it just has various fun projects !
I think I just like the idea of it … if I were to become a Martha Stewart one day.

This place is awesome and I’m really glad something like it exists here in H-​town! I am a sewing noob and am definitely planning on taking their sewing boot camp class, as well as trying the drop-​in crafting. I love that you can use their machines and that would definitely be something to try once I get my footing in the craft. They have a well-​curated fabric selection, too. Definite eye-​candy for this non-​sewer.
A friend and I took a needle felting class with Tobiah, which was really fun. There was plently of space in the studio upstairs and it was light-​filled and bright. Our materials were well-​organized and packaged and there was plenty for everyone. Instructions were clear, and everything was low-​key and chill. I think I’ve found a new fiber addiction.
I’m a knitter and it would be awesome if they added some more advanced classes in the future, too– I’m excited to see how the business/​concept grows and develops over time. Love the new space on 19^th St.

So I had driven by the new 19^th Street location on my way to my favorite Buffalo Exchange a few times, but had not had the opportunity to dwell in. That is until this past Friday.
As part of the 3^rd Annual No Holds Barred Chili Cook-​off, my team needed a flag. The mister asked me about this months ago, and even as envisioned myself as some hot, hip Betsy Ross, I had zero skills on what to do. Down to crunch time on the Friday-​afternoon-​before-​the-​Saturday event, I placed a frantic call into Sew Crafty for some advice.
Cool as a cucumber Ruthie answered my call and asked me to come on by so we could sketch my idea and give me a list of supplies I would need for my first «flagventure».
Ruthie helped me compile my ideas, and I left armed with a list of what fabric and what extras to buy, then hurried over to my nearest fabric store (also googled and mapped by Ruthie).
Over the next few hours, we she watched over me as I stenciled, stitched, glued, ironed and sewed my crazy idea into a reality. I left a few hours later, with a mostly finished product in hand all thanks to the lovely ladies at this amazing shop. Even more amazing, Ruthie only charged me for the «drop in» craft rate of $ 5. Her expertise, company and guidance alone was worth that 100 times over…
And what of the Cook-​off you ask? We took home 1^st prize!

I LOVE this place! You know how you love to make stuff but you get lazy and don’t want to pull everything out, make a mess and then put it away– well then, just make stuff! They do all the rest.
Crafty Playhouse meets Mad Potter. AND it’s so reasonable. I took my 8 year old and she was in heaven for and hour and a half and $ 5.
When you walk in your adrenaline rises and your brow gets a little damp– you see a wall of hand-​picked, I-​just-​gotta-​make-​something-​outa-​this fabric. Walls of seriously cute shit. Sarah did such a great job because you want to be there and you want to stay there. I won’t be surprised if people start asking her if they do slumber parties.
Keep walking and you can pick from a slew of options to do open crafting time– you pick a base (bag, t-​shirt, hair thing, ring, etc.) and they offer lots of supplies to decorate them for free, you just have to buy the base thing. They have these felted flowers and balls you can buy and create something with too. Your imagination just starts running and I don’t know about you but I love when that happens!
They have classes or just walk-​in activities. Lovely staff, lovely Sarah (owner), ADORABLE place! And I haven’t even been upstairs yet! I think that’s where things get more serious…
You gotta try it!

5 stars for the simple fact that Sew Crafty offers a Gocco class! What is a Gocco, you may ask? It’s a dying Japanese form of screen printing. I took the Go Go Gocco class back in January and have since been dying to take Gocco Lab (Go Go Gocco is a prereq to Gocco Lab).
Sarah is so adorable and so much fun. Her studio is the cutest thing you will ever see. I check her class schedule regularly for other crafty classes to take. My only issue with the course offering is that it’s all pretty much related to sewing or knitting. Well duh, the place IS called SEW Crafty, right? True, I would just appreciate more variety because I cannot wait to go back!

This is the cutest little craft haven tucked into the Heights. Lucky for me, it’s in my neighborhood so I have no excuse not to go. To date, I have take 3 different classes and they have all been so fun and easy. You do have to sign up and pay online but there is a fairly decent refund policy (7 days) but I am sure if you have a bonafide emergency, Sarah (the owner) would be willing to work with you. Check out the online class schedule at
for what’s happening. The best part is that no matter what craft you are doing there, you are guaranteed to have fun because the instructors and patrons are enjoying what they are doing. I will definately be back for more classes soon!

For all you crafty people out there, this will be your new think tank which will creatively nourish your addiction to DIY projects. I had the opportunity to take an Intro to Sewing Class with the owner, Sarah.
I have a very limited background in sewing, but Sarah was able to explain the project and the machine with expertise and fun. With all the materials and step-​by-​step instructions provided, our class was able to make some funky clutches very easily. The class was very easy to follow, and I feel confident that I could repeat the project again on my own!
Head over to Sew Crafty, and feed your need to craft it up soon!
