Five Eighth Seams
Charleston, South Carolina · Ships online too · Since 2011
A Charleston sewing and fabric shop, open since 2011, teaching sewing classes to students starting at age six.
Five Eighth Seams has been teaching Charleston to sew since 2011, and it takes that teaching mission seriously — classes start as young as age six, which is a real commitment to building the next generation of sewists and quilters rather than just serving the ones who already know their way around a rotary cutter.
As a Husqvarna Viking dealer, the shop covers machine sales alongside its fabric offering, and the selection of designer and organic cottons gives quilters options beyond standard quilting-weight yardage, for those who care about fiber sourcing as much as pattern and color.
For Charleston families looking for a sewing shop that welcomes young beginners alongside experienced quilters, Five Eighth Seams has built exactly that kind of program over the past decade and a half — a shop that's clearly thinking about who's going to be quilting twenty years from now, not just who's quilting today.
