Store Updates

~For our dear customers' convenience we have reinstated credit card acceptance. We take Visa, MasterCard and Discover, personal checks and of course- Cash!

~A new style of Sewing Classes is forming: Mother-Daughter Sewing Classes are now being offered during summer days. Please call (718-338-6104) for more info.

Well, we did it! Although we’ve got a long way to go, Sew Materialistic has finally opened our doors at 1131 McDonald Ave.
We are very centrally located. To get to us: step off the F train on Ave I; or get off the B11 on Ave I and turn the corner; or take the B6 to Bay Parkway & McDonald and walk 3 blocks; or take your car, there usually is plenty of parking (although we hope to cause some extra traffic!).
Our new neighborhood is in between Flatbush & Boro Park. Can I mention neighbors?! 1131 McDonald Ave is two doors down from Curves & Yoga on one side, and two doors from Kids in Action on the other. You can always do your fruits &/or groceries at the same time. J stores is a half block away. Did I mention Amazing Savings?
Besides being so well located at 1131 McDonald Ave., Sew Materialistic is pleased to offer our new image, too. We are now a fully stocked quilting store. We will be happy to try to order anything we do not carry.
A new roster of classes will begin in September. We are starting with beginners sewing and quilting classes for children and adults in July. Call for more details at 718-338-6104.
