From first-timers to seasoned pros and everyone in between, Sew Pinellas is the area’s go-to spot for all things sewing. Their classes and open sewing events are local favorites, and their sprawling fabric and supply shop is the best of its kind in St. Pete, especially as the big box stores close down (though we always preferred supporting local anyway).
One of the best ways to experience Sew Pinellas (5601 Haines Road) combines all the things that make the shop so beloved. The free Open Sew experience merges events and shopping every weekend. During the fabric store’s shopping hours every Saturday and Sunday (12:30-5 pm), Sew Pinellas also opens up its work studio. Guests have full access to all machines, tools, and the cozy studio space – all for free.
Sewing enthusiasts and newcomers alike are invited to bring in their projects and take advantage of the professional studio filled with all the equipment they could ever need. There’s no appointment needed – just stop in, grab a seat, and get to work.
Plus, you have access to the fantastic storefront at Sew Pinellas, packed full of fabrics, sewing supplies, and more…
