With a beautiful and very extensive collection of fabrics and the most gracious and kind group of employees, my visit to Five Eighth Seams was so much fun! I’m from out of town and have been wanting to visit this fabric shop for a long time. I finally got the chance and was not disappointed at all! I purchased several pieces of fabric and can’t wait to return. You will not be disappointed!

Took the Basic sewing class in preparation for taking more advanced classes. Done in the evening when it was nice and quiet. Teacher was very friendly and helpful. Even though i consider myself an advanced beginner, i was glad to have a more experienced person to check over my machine and the things I may or may not have been doing correctly. I am already enrolled in the next set off classes. I can understand that 5/8 requires sewers have a good understanding of basic skills butI hope there will be more advanced technique classes in the future. All and all worth the time and money

I absolutely love this place. As soon as you walk in the door it feels like youre at home. Everyone is so nice and ready to help. They are very knowledgeable about what you may need for whatever project you may be working on. They are always ready to help you with any questions you may have. I have taken the just basics and now I am in the sewing 101 5 week class, both with Michelle. After 101 I will be in the knits class, also with Michelle who is pretty darn awesome by the way. She is a great teacher, very knowledgeable and patient. Im pretty sure Ill be taking classes here for a while, Ive learned so much already.

I always have a great experience at Five Eighth Seams! I really appreciate that they carry more than just quilters cottons and Big 4 patterns, and I have found beautiful apparel fabrics and cute indie patterns here. When I do buy quilters cotton, the quality is very clearly a step up from what you’ll find at bigger chains. The staff is incredibly helpful and goes out of their way to make sure their customers always find what they need. Definitely a little on the pricey side, but that is to be expected of a local shop, and the quality of the products and customer service is well worth it!

This was my first time in your store (as I was from out of town - Atlanta) and I was so delighted to see all the beautiful in-stock fabrics on display! A very impressive collection. It was difficult for me to choose just a few fabrics 😍, but this summery crab-themed print was so adorable I couldnt pass it up. Now, it is among the many styles of dog bandanas that I have listed in my Etsy shop (Fetching Friends). Just in time for some sizzling summer fun!

I love Five Eighths! They have the nicest folks working there and a great selection of fabrics for clothing and quilting. I also love that they have paper copies of independent clothing patterns - a huge plus for me!

Ive frequented this store for 10 years and cant believe Im just now leaving a review. I am still an amateur because I dont have much time to devote to sewing right now, but when I do, the staff is so helpful, kind, and patient. Ive taken a few classes and have learned so much. There are so many fun and unique fabrics that I often spend way too much time trying to decide what fabric I want to use! Prices are good and there is a large selection of fabrics, machines, and other necessities. A must-go!

I am taking one of the classes that are hosted here. Having a great time learning a new skill. The staff is very friendly and easy to work with. I also am able to find all that I need for my first sewing kit at a reasonable price. Recommended.

Love this place! Its a little tricky to spot if you dont know where youre going but once you find the tiny corner it on, the staff and fabric/notions are perfect! I came here looking for a spot that I could buy fun new fabric and patterns in an effort to avoid Joanns and boy am I happy I found 5/8th Seams! Super helpful staff and great collection of fabric and indie patterns!

This shop had everything one needs for sewing for wardrobe or quilting. The staff was helpful and friendly. The layout was not overly crowded, and the selection was great.

This shop and staff are wonderful. The fabrics are the best quality with lots to choose from either woven or knit. They are able to walk you through their fine selection of machines to find your best options. Whether busy or not the sales staff are available to help with all of your sewing questions or concerns. And there are classes!

It was delightful to be in a space with such warmth, friendliness, and beautiful fabric. I got what I wanted, and got to visit an independent fabric store that had a lovely atmosphere of creativity, learning, and eagerness. Thank you.

My daughter absolutely loves sewing class at Five Eighth Seams! She loved her September classes so much shes asked to go again in October. I love that she is learning how to sew.

New to the area and was unsure where to begin looking for a fabric/Quilting store. Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Found great fabrics for table runners I wanted to make for friends for the holidays!

Great shop! Friendly staff! I service my Pfaff here and have always been pleased. It will continue to be a stop for me when in Charleston! Thanks Ladies.

Friendly staff who answered all my questions. Plenty of fabric and notions to inspire any project. And they carry knit fabrics too! Although they do not offer service for my model of sewing machine, they referred me to a place that does. I will be returning soon for my next project.

The adult sewing 101 class was great! The instructor is kind and helpful. I would recommend this class to anyone looking to refresh some skills.

I’ve been taking sewing lessons with Michelle since last fall and cannot say enough about Five Eighth Seams. The classes are offered at a great price, the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and friendly along with everyone else who works in the store. I appreciate a place where they take the time to help you find the items you need to complete a project, answer any questions you may have and throw in a couple of tips along the way.

A wonderful place to learn and to fine tune your sewing skills! Excellent pattern and fabric selections and a truly great staff!

Just took the beginners sewing class and it was GREAT! Michelle is an amazing teacher and I learned alot. Will definitely be back for more classes!

Great shop and very knowledgeable. They have wonderful summer youth programs. They also offer club classes for machines they sale and sewing classes.

I have been a customer of 5/8ths from the very beginning 10 years ago. During that time, Ive bought a sewing machine, had machines serviced, bought attachments for my viking machines, taken classes, and purchased notions, patterns and more than a few yards of fabric. Every experience has been top notch, and I know Im getting quality merchandise! Id like to take this opportunity to say thanks for the excellent service, and let you know Im grateful to have a sewing shop option beyond a big box store.

Friendly, helpful staff and teachers. Love the atmosphere of the shop - so much nicer than a chain store, and the sewing room is great to work in. Lots of space and all the supplies you need at your fingertips. The merchandise is high quality, too, and the clerks will help you find just exactly what you need. I truly appreciate the personalized experience.

Five Eights Seams is awesome. I love their fabric and service department. Very friendly people and atmosphere.

Great shop with fantastic fabric, machines, and classes for all ages. Owners and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.

I completed the Sewing 101 class with Chrissy and had a great experience! Chrissy was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. As someone who is very new to sewing, Chrissy helped me feel more confident in my skills. I really enjoyed the Sewing 101 class and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about sewing. The entire staff at Five Eighth Seams is kind and helpful.

Nice selection of quilting fabric and supplies. Awesome employees that are incredibly helpful.

The Sewing Basics class was the perfect way to step back into sewing, after years of inactivity. The instructor put me at ease about jumping back in. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and made the class fun! I am looking forward to taking Sewing 101 and tapping into the sewing community here in Charleston!

Love, love, love this store. The ladies are so friendly and helpful. It feels more like an inclusive club than a store. I am returning to sewing after a long break so I am new but not a beginner. They answer questions without being condescending or dismissive. Very encouraging atmosphere. Always something new in the fabrics, too.

The ladies at Five Eights are always very helpful. They are always able to help me when I have a question about my sewing machine or technique I am doing. Love the ladies there.

Im taking sewing lessons here and really enjoying it. Everyone is very helpful and nice.

I love stopping by Five Eighth Seams! Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable, especially when I need help deciding on thread color. It’s wonderful having such a great shop West Ashley!…Fran

Great place for nice fabric! Very helpful and nice gals work there!

Fantastic place to get all of your sewing supplies. Great summer camps for children to learn to sew. The teachers have patience to teach the young ones to sew.. The employers are always ready to help you in any way.

My daughter took a sewing camp here this summer. She had a blast and felt very accomplished sewing her pillow case and tote bag.

It was my first visit to this store, and I left about 2 hours later with lots of beautiful fabric. Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable. Ill be back!

I took the beginners sewing class. It was very informative and not stressful!! I’m looking forward to taking the 5 week course at the end of the month.

Been working with Bonnie for some time. She is wonderful and I have brought many friends to 5/8ths because if her. Bought an Epic trade in from her last year. The store has so much to offer. I live in Beaufort and make the trek with various friends often!

My daughter attended a summer camp and I was amazed with how much she learned and created during the week! She loved the camp!

The staff at Five Eighth Seams is great! They are super nice and very helpful! The selection of apparel fabric is by far the best in the Charleston area, and maybe the state! They carry all the popular and trendy brands and substrates.

Five Eighth Seams is like a candy store for sewing enthusiasts. The fabrics are a nicer quality than the chain store brands and the staff remember you. Not like the take-a-number well get to you eventually stores! Always helpful when you have a problem for which you need an answer...and did I say the material is like trying to choose which candy you like best?

I had an intro lesson about embroidery with Karen. Her tips and lessons were so helpful. Ive been making things for my grandchildren. There is so much to learn. The 2 hour increments are a perfect way to learn without the overload. Appreciate your help Five Eighth Seams.. they also cleaned and adjusted my sewing embroidery machine. Perfect!!

I love this studio/shop. Everyone has been kind and helpful each time I’ve been in. Looking forward to taking some classes to help my sewing game.

I always have a good shopping experience at Five Eighths. There is a great variety of fabrics. They have also been very accommodating to the Charleston Midern Quilt Guild.

Lovely shop. Very helpful and nice to work with.

Helpful, friendly staff. Great fabrics and notions. I always find great fabric in the sales room!

Great place with very sweet and helpful staff that allow you to look around.

Staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help. Had a great visit - found exactly what I needed and picked up a few tips (and yards) along the way. I highly recommend Five Eight Seams for sewing of all skill levels.

My daughter is taking classes with Sarah and LOVES it! Everyone is so nice, and helpful. The store has an amazing variety of fabrics! We highly recommend!

Great local sewing shop with a variety of fabrics and patterns available. I came into the shop for the first time after I bought a sewing machine on a whim. They gave suggestions for the things that I needed to get started, including offering a class. I have taken the just the basics and sewing 101 classes here, which were very well priced and helpful for a beginner in sewing.

Great little local shop! Had a wide variety of fabric (including apparel) and a good selection of patterns, especially womens and childrens clothing.

Wonderful class by Carrie from HV! Staff at Five Eighths Seams is always so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable! So happy to be able to have classes again.

Great service, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Always have new and up-to-date products.

Wonderful service. Knew exactly the fabric I asked about and located it quickly

I love this shop!!!! I live four hours away, but if I try to get to this store at least a few times a year. It is always worth the trip. Their beautifully curated collection of fabrics makes my heart skip a beat the moment I walk through the door. Their customer service is second to none. If you love sewing beautiful things, you must visit this store!

Love their sowing class. The instructor was a wonderful teacher and the cost of the class was reasonable. If you ever need materials to create please shop at Five Eighth Seams.

The staff is always helpful in fabric selection. I’m not local but whenever I’m near Charleston, this is a definite detour!

These ladies are ALWAYS so helpful and cheerful! I LOVE shopping here!

This is a terrific store. Ive bought more than one sewing machine here and the service is fantastic. The staff are so wonderful and friendly and I always am glad to have a reason to go get something from 5/8ths seams. The fabric choices for garments and quilting are interesting, varied and beautiful. Im so glad this store is close to me but it would be worth the trip if it werent!

Love this shop! A few years ago, I took a beginners sewing classes here which was really helpful in learning some basic skills. Since then, Ive gotten a little better with practice and have made several face masks, some pillow covers, and even altered a few items in my wardrobe. They also have the best fabric selection in town, so Im here whenever I need new fabric for masks! Highly recommend.

The staff is always super friendly and helpful! Large selection of quilting and apparel fabrics.

Always a nice quilting shop with friendly assistance and a great variety.

The owner was very helpful as I am new at sewing. Her advice helped me tremendously. Will definitely go back next time I visit Charleston!

I love this store. It makes me so happy just to go in! These ladies have also worked REALLY hard to make it a safe place to shop in the pandemic. Grateful for this slice of heaven! Thanks Five Eight Seams!

The staff at Five Eighths Seams is always so friendly and helpful. I love the variety of quality fabrics they have to choose from. It’s great to be able to support a local business too!

Wonderful store filled with so many beautiful and interesting fabrics! Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Lovely selection of fabrics and hard-to-find patterns. Cheerful, helpful staff - I will be back!

When I picked up the machine I was shown how to operate it. I also had to call about how to do something on the machine. The service is great. Very nice group of ladies to work with.

Love this store! I always feel so welcomed when I go and the ladies are amazing. I wish there was more of a knit selection as I mainly sew knit clothing, but its growing and they have stuff other stores dont.

The best fabric, quilting, embroidery store in town. I bought a HusqvarnaViking, Brilliance 80 last year, and anything I need for projects can be found at Five Eight Seams. Plus I can have one on one training sessions with the staff anytime I need help figuring out the machines capabilities. It does so much and so well!The staff is great and very knowledgeable of many types of sewing projects, from accessories to zippers.Thank goodness Five Eight Seams has stayed open doing the pandemic, offering any sewing supplies and advice needed. And they dont mind being called for any question I might have. Dont now what I would have done without them.

I love going to Five Eighth Seams! I took a mask I embroidered to show and I wanted to purchase some plain, white 100% cotton for more masks. I purchased mask motifs from Emblibrary.com and they really need white fabric to set off the embroidery. Plus, I went to pick up a free spool of thread as my birthday is next week. I had a delightful conversation with one of the clerks. It was so nice to talk about embroidery!

I could spend all day in Five Eighth Seams. The store is lovely and beautiful. The customer service is excellent. They are always willing and able to answer questions. The classes are taught by skilled lovers of sewing. I highly recommend this business to anyone who loves sewing or fabric!

Loved the shop! Great staff!

I love the personalized service I get here. When I purchased my machine the staff sat down with me and made sure I knew how to use the machine before I took it home. They are always great about answering any questions I have. The fabric quality and selection is outstanding.

I love this shop. Ive taken several classes there and have enjoyed all of them and learned so much. Very friendly and helpful staff.

I am not local to Charleston but whenever I come to town to visit family, I always try to stop in this awesome shop. Not only are the employees kind and knowledgeable but the product is very good quality. You know you are getting your dollar value there.

I’m so glad I now live in SC so I can visit my very favorite fabric store more often. The selection and quality is awesome. The employees treat you like family!

So I originally thought this store was over priced. Then as I spent more time looking for discount quality apparel fabric online, I realized they’re actually the most cost effective!!!! They have a huge range of trendy fabrics and notions. Not to mention some really awesome sewing machines. They also have the best variety and amount of knit fabrics and they have a huge sale room. Did I mention you get points and discounts through text? Just go!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Terrific selection of quilting cottons, shirtings, and knits! Accessories for my Viking sewing machine!

Quick service and delivery!I ordered a few items online and they came extremely quick! I ordered two sewing kits for my nieces for Christmas, they came in the cutest package! I would highly recommend visiting Five Eighth Seams and shopping online, they have fabulous fabric and amazing sewing products!

I love this sweet sewing shop! I have yet to take any classes there, but my experiences shopping for fabric, notions and patterns have always been very positive. The saleswomen are always extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and I always leave the store excited to start on another sewing project!

Wonderful people and great selection. The patterns are not what you find anywhere else. I prefer to give my business to locals...I have been going here for years.

Friendly store that has wonderful garment making fabric and supplies

Love this shop! The selection is great and the peeps are wonderful.

It is wonderful to have a shop in Charleston dedicated to serving the needs of novice to advanced sewing enthusiasts. The selection of fabrics, notions, and supplies is superb, and the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I encourage everyone with an eye toward design and fabric art to patronize and support this terrific local establishment.

Lovely little shop with a great selection of fabrics to choose from, friendly and helpful staff. Anytime I go in there I find conversations being started with both the staff and other shoppers about projects, helpful opinions, and tips. Im so glad I found this place.

Michelle at Five Eighth Seams went above and beyond for the Embroidery Boot Camp. This was an informational class on using the correct stabilizers, hooping and so much more. Michelle and Five Eighth Seams wants you to succeed as individual and will help you in any way possible. Highly recommend.

They are the greatest. Always pleasant and helpful. Love that store!!

Debbie and Bonnie are so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! I enjoy myself each time I visit the store.

Bought my amazing Pfaff Creative Icon for here. They have been so helpful with all my questions and have even sat with me for one on one instructions. They have a wonderful variety of fabric and accessories. Great place to shop!!!

I shop at Five Eighth Seams often and would recommend to anyone that likes to sew in the lowcountry to visit the shop. All of the employees are very knowledgable about sewing and would love to help you with your project. I have taken classes there and enjoyed working with the teachers. Lots of fabric to choose from and the sewing machines are fantastic. I have bought my last 2 machines with them. Great service, go check it out.

I love Bonnie! She is so sweet, welcoming and very knowledgeable!!!!!

Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Always a nice selection of cottons and blends as well as knits. I purchased a Pfaff Performance 5.2 from here several years ago. I noticed an issue soon after purchase and they repaired the machine and I continue to have happy sewing days!

You must try out Five Eighth Seams for all of your sewing needs. They are so helpful and friendly. And they are very knowledgeable to boot!

Excellent sales staff, wonderful fabric, terrific machines💜

I like the fabric selection at the store and folks are friendly.

My most favorite store ever! I never shop anywhere else because I’ve come to know (very well) the owners, staff, and community. Because of the support that this store gives our sewing community and general community, I want to support this local business in anyway possible!

I love this fabric shop. They have a wide selection of both quilting and garment fabric. The staff is very knowledgeable. Reasonably priced and well stocked notions area.

Recently moved back to Charleston, first thing was to find a sewing shop. Five Eighth Seams has a wonderful selection of fabrics and friendly staff.

The staff is always so helpful. Im new to sewing and its so nice to have a second opinion on what fabric will work for my projects.
