About Us
Welcome to SewPo: Your Friendly Neighborhood Fabric Store! We are Kate, Matt, Janett, Lily & Luke. Our kids are Eli, Gideon and Lukas and we also can't forget our furry friends Bodhi, Ginger and Boy-Boy. We are one big happy fabric-loving family and we want to share our passion with you!
What started as an innocent trip to our favorite comic shop (Hi, Bridge City Comics!) turned into a super-awesome idea of bringing a fabric boutique to Portland's thriving Mississippi Arts district. Now, don't get me wrong- I love comics as much as the next girl (maybe even more), but there's only so long I can listen to REAL comic fans discuss current events before I am out of my realm. Matt was having one of those intense comic discussions when I realized it would be great if there was a fabric shop nearby. Matt could keep talking about comics, I could be down the street drooling over fabric. Win-Win, right? Except there wasn't any fabric store (Cue cartoon-style light bulb going on over my head...). So, that's the story of SewPo. We hope to bring you years of beautiful fabrics, fun classes and general crafty goodness.
What are you making?
