Guilford, Connecticut · Ships online too · Since 2016
A modern fabric and community sewing studio in Guilford, open since 2016, curating unusual and hard-to-find prints.
Cate's Sew Modern has been a fixture in Guilford since 2016, built as much around community as around fabric. The curation leans modern and intentionally a little unusual — the kind of hard-to-find prints you won't see stocked at a big-box fabric store, chosen with an eye for what's not already everywhere.
Beyond quilting cotton, the shop supports bag making and garment sewing, and it doubles as guild meeting space, which says a lot about how the shop sees its role in the local sewing community — not just a retailer, but a place local groups actually gather.
Studio classes round it out, giving newer sewists a place to learn alongside the more experienced quilters who already treat this as their regular haunt. If you're in Guilford and want fabric that doesn't look like everyone else's, this is the shop to check.
