Raji S: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueSheila is the best!!
Karin Hatch: I have had the best experience learning the process and skills of the architecture of sewing. From pattern drafting to sizing and hand sewing, I am working to create from sketch to wearable clothing. Sheila meets you where you are and elevates your competency, correctly. I appreciate how she cuts through 'the noise' to provide the right learning environment for me to grow to an advanced level in an inspired personalized way.
Lauren B: I've been seeing Sheila for lessons over the past year and always have a great time in the studio. She is great leading the learning and design process and is always open to ideas and questions. I always love the conversation and her professional demeanour when communication via phone, email or in person. I'll be taking lessons here for a long time!
Eric Corbeil: Sheila and her staff are amazing, friendly, and incredibly skilled instructors. I have been attending classes for almost a year now and have enjoyed every moment! I would recommend her classes for anyone from inexperienced beginners to experienced designers/tailors looking for help and inspiration.
annabelle burridge: I have had lessons with sheila for coming up to three years on and off and it was one of the best decisions I could have made! She has such a lovely warm professional manner and her expertise with drafting and garment construction are incredible. Ive gained more skills from coming here than i ever could have hoped for. All of her employees are lovely and the space is great and in a convenient location ( during the pandemic ive also had some great virtual lessons) thank you for all your help sheila!
Anita Early: I have been taking sewing/drafting lessons with Sheila Wong since April 2018. The process began with me relearning "how to sew", after many years of being away from a sewing machine. I started out by constructing a very cute pink mini-skirt, and over the last 2 years I have blossomed into drafting clothing for myself and my daughter. Sheila has taught me so much over these 2 years....and I am so grateful. She's a very talented fashion designer with an exquisite eye for detail. She's organized, punctual, kind and a patient instructor. I admire her talent for her creative abilities as well as for her keen entrepreneurship.I always have fun with Sheila when I'm in her Yaletown studio...one night we even shared a glass of rose on a cold snowy December Friday. We laugh, chat and also work hard. She is generous with the use of her professional sergers, and other equipment/supplies in her studio.Being able to sew, design and work with fabric is very fulfuilling for me. Wearing the clothes I have made gives me a lot of joy, especially when someone asks me "where I bought it?".I recommend Sheila Wong Fashion Design Studio highly to anyone who has an inkling to get creative.
Trevor Dogwin: Sheila Wong is a great teacher and her studio space is exceptional. I have been taking one on one classes since June of 2020 each time building on practical applications of sewing, pattern drafting as well as understanding garment construction. One of the main reasons I was drawn to SWFDS is that she listened to what I wanted to accomplish -Once we got past some basics in sewing she tailored each lesson towards my goal.Another thing to point out, especially in the current environment, is that her studio is SPOTLESS and she takes great care in cleaning and disinfecting.With all that being said, I highly recommend Sheila Wong if you are interested in learning all things sewing.
Claire Newton: Sheila's sewing lessons have gone above and beyond what I expected! One of my dreams was to learn how to draft my own patterns but I have always been intimidated by the process. I feel so much more confident now. I love Sheila's teaching method, she gives detailed instructions (with handouts!), demos, and homework which keeps me motivated to continue sewing in between lessons. I can't recommend enough!
Vivian Lee: Sheila has a very efficient way of making sewing easy and fun, I have attended a full year at her studio, and I have learned a lot of skills and it has always been a very positive experience for me. Her studio is well-equipped, and well organized, the atmosphere is relaxing and full of energy. I highly recommend having a one on one lesson with her!
Barb Lawrie: I have been a student of Shelia's for over 3 years. She has advanced my skills considerably to the point that I am now able to design, draft and construct my own garments. She has the innate ability to know when to step in and help and when to step back. The studio is beautiful and well set up with everything you could need. The staff are incredibly supportive and Shelia is stellar in all ways. I strongly recommend them
Diane Haarstad: I have always wanted to design clothing and create my own patterns.Together Sheila and I have brought dozens of my designs to life. I thought I was an experienced seamstress but the techniques I have learned from Sheila has taken me to a new level. So now, not only can I create patterns, adjust and adapt commercial patterns but I am also a more efficient seamstress. I enjoy my craft more than ever. Sheila's studio is a magical place where my life long dream of being a designer has come true. If you are even mildly interested in clothing design I highly recommend you invest in lessons from Sheila and her amazing team.

Sheila is able to break down even the most complicated projects to small, easy to digest pieces of information. I always leave her classes so happy, confident and excited. I would recommend her to everyone from beginners to professionals.

jennifer huxham: Beautiful store, awesome selection and super helpful staff :)
stephen olson: Pretty good and large space for moving around and viewing products.
Frank Branch: I needed a special cut of fabric I couldn’t do myself due to a disability. They were so helpful got exactly what I needed. Definitely coming here was worth the drive.
Ly Nguyen: Staff was not friendly or helpful when I called about an introductory sewing class. When I asked approximately how much the supplies would cost in addition to the class fee and instead of explaining the options they said they would only send me the list after I’ve put down the non-refundable deposit. I decided to go with The Stitchery Sewing Studio in Port Moody instead; they allow online booking and have a clear outline of the materials you’d need for their classes on their website (not to mention you also get a discount for buying in store materials). I get that they have to pay their instructors and the rates are fair for what you get but providing friendly customer service over the phone shouldn’t be all that hard.
Zachary Abbott: Cute, clean and very well stocked.Polite and helpful staff.Will be back for fabric FOR SURE !!!
Peter Freitas: Leigha was absolutely wonderful to get customer service from! She greeted us immediately upon entering and continued throughout our trip finding fabrics for 4 different projects. She was extraordinarily friendly the whole time! On top of the service the quality and variety of fabrics was great to see.
Cassandra Ma: Went into the store and didn’t find the staff to be very helpful or friendly. They have a great selection of prints but it’s pretty expensive and I saw the exact same fabric I bought off Etsy from a local seller for a higher price. I’m sure the cost of rent and owning a business contributes to the inflated price, I understand. What I mean to say is if they charge a higher price for a store front and customer service, it would be helpful for staff to be friendlier and available to help and not be brushed off or on their cell phones at the front desk.Cute fabrics and prints but I would rather support other small businesses like Twoonine or DailyLike on Etsy or Blackbird.
HR: Good selection of fabrics. Spacious layout. Mixed experiences with staff, however. There are sewing machines at the back of the shop where staff are usually sewing when I enter the store. If I go to the till to look for assistance, I wait for a while, but then I need to call and ask, hello who is working here? Some workers are kind and helpful, but about half the time I get grudging service.
Jenny Paddon: Such a beautiful store...the most gorgeous fabrics...beautifully presented...fabulous range of interesting patterns...a tranquil inspiring place of creativityParking space Plenty of parking Parking options Free street parking …More
Lucy F: I went there to pick up my order. When I walked in the door, I saw one staff was sitting there minding her own business. I greeted her and thanked her when I was telling her the reason of my visit, but she never greeted back accordingly except that she gave me my order. Then I browsed the store a bit, when I was leaving, I heard her passionately greeted to two Caucasian costumers at the door. I thought it’s her personality but it’s a discrimination instead. All I can say is I despise this type of behavior, shame on you.
Joel Reynolds: very cool store, and very helpful staff
Andrew Bryson: Went in looking for a particular thing. Turned out they didn't have it and the staff person suggested an alternative which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the alternative would not suit what I needed. I asked if they knew of any place that had what I was looking for as they clearly could not meet my need and I was quite surprised by the response. One counter person just said no outright. As we were walking out, the second staff person walked up to us and quietly suggested a store up the road. It was very obvious that she didn't feel comfortable sharing an alternative store. If it is clear that the store has no way to fill my need, what is the issue recommending an alternative place?
Chanh Houang: Knowledgeable staff, beautiful selection of fabrics.
Danni: Great prices, lots of fun and cute prints. I placed an order for fabrics after their hours, my order was processed and ready for pickup the next day, when i went i saw this cute cat sewing box. The staff was also friendly
Mark Trischuk: Way better than Michael's for sewing supplies
Maya Credico: Great shop! Amazing selection. I Came in and knew exactly what I wanted, and they were a great help with me finding my supplies. I purchased the Florence dress pattern by merchant and mills.Thank you spool of thread!
Romy Zaidel: Staff are not very friendly. I walked in with my child who was behaving themself and they were pretty snotty. I've been in many times alone and I've never had a problem. There are other much better sewing shops to go to in the city.
Rosemary Lynch: Super nice fabrics , but unfortunately the worst service ever! I am a beginner and simply asked if I was getting enough fabric ? The gal passed me a ruler and walked off . Turns out I got all the way back to Whistler only to find out I did not , so disappointed
Lucia: Great variety of beautiful fabrics, and helpful staff! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for unique and interesting patterns
Kati Rodzon: Fun store with great fabric. Staff is helpful
M C: Really making an effort to shop local and avoid giving my money to big box stores/amazon, so i would have been really happy to buy from spool of thread. However, when I went in and asked for organic fabric for a baby project, the staff very unwillingly showed me some holiday prints (the only organic fabric they have apparently), and were in general pretty uncommunicative and unhelpful. I asked what other fabric they might recommend for a project for a baby and they said "we dont have any fabric for baby stuff specifically" and acted like it was a strange/annoying request. You're telling me no one comes in here looking to make baby gifts? Zero suggestions, no help beyond the bare minimum of what I specifically asked for. Enthusiasm and customer service are things people shop at small businesses for.The store is lovely inside, a really nice space. But the cold maybe snobby service? No thanks. I biked all the way over ready to spend my money, and I left empty handed.

Helen Lee: It was a very nice environment. The instructor was kind and helpful. I made a pillow case, and had a good time. I recommend this place for anyone that likes to sew.
Rita Hernandez: This place is such a jewel in the North Shore!!! The facilities, the service and the staff are really amazing. My daughter has been attending the classes for 3 years and she has learned so much in a fun, respectful and safe environment.
isla b: I have been going to this sewing studio for at least three years now, and have loved every second! I've made things I could never find the time to do outside of this wonderful place. I'm filled wth pride every time someone asks me where I got my clothes and I can say "I made it!" Christine is so kind and patient and she deserves to be celebrated for the safe and creative environment she has provided for so many people.
Poppy: Such an amazing place. It’s a fun, supportive environment where the kids learn a great life skill. My daughter is hooked. She’d spent all her free time there if she could. It’s so great to see how proud they are of their creations.
Sharon Agar: This was my daughter's first experience with sewing and I am amazed by what she has created! Christine is an excellent teacher. We will be signing up again!
Janice Agar: Christine is an excellent teacher, and my daughter has learned a lot about fitting and sewing with commercial patterns.

Chelsea M: I began working with Carley at SewGood to build a portfolio for my application to Kwantlen's Fashion Design program. I started with beginner classes and I also took private lessons.Carley is an excellent teacher and such a friendly welcoming person. In her beginner classes Carley makes sure you know the basics including how to take body measurements, how to use a commercial pattern, information about different types of fabrics and how to choose the appropriate one as well as how to lay out and cut your fabric. She also ensures that you are knowledgeable about the basics of a sewing machine and how to use certain tools. Carley is willing to answer any questions you have along the way and she is very helpful in doing so. Once you have taken a few of her classes you will have learned anything you will ever need to know about sewing, allowing you to produce your own garments at home!With Carley's help I have built a successful portfolio and have been accepted into Kwantlen's program. I sincerely recommend Carley at SewGood if you are interested in learning to sew!
Bianca B: I definitely recommend taking sewing lessons at SewGood. Two years ago I was looking for sewing lessons to learn how to sew some garments for a portfolio for both Ryerson University and Kwantlen University. I did not know much about sewing but because of Carley's patience, excellent teaching skills and wonderful positive attitude, I was able to learn the basics of sewing, the importance of accuracy while sewing and made a friend while doing so. As a result from her lessons, I was accepted into both Ryerson and Kwantlen with high sewing skills, and I couldn't have done it without her help. Carley is an excellent teacher and I highly, highly recommend taking lessons from her!
