Where Creativity Meets Craftsmanship

Sycamore Sewing is the result of two passions coming together. With our mom's love for sewing, quilting, and all things creative, and our dad's talent for woodworking and craftsmanship, they set out to build a fabric shop that reflects a little bit of both of them.

From the custom wooden fabric displays handcrafted by our dad to the carefully selected fabrics inspired by our mom's creative eye, every corner of the shop has a personal touch. Their shared love for antiques adds to its charm, with vintage treasures, including an antique Singer sewing machine, helping create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere.

Together, they've created more than just a place to purchase fabric. Sycamore Sewing is a reflection of their creativity, hard work, and love for bringing people together—a welcoming space where old-fashioned charm meets new inspiration.

Meet the Family

Rooted in Family, Inspired by Creativity

A Family Behind Every Stitch

Behind Sycamore Sewing is a family working together to turn a shared dream into something special. When Joann Fabrics closed its doors in 2025, our mom felt the loss of a place she had always loved visiting for its wide selection of unique, affordable fabrics. With fewer options available locally, finding those special fabrics at reasonable prices became increasingly difficult. That experience inspired our family to create Sycamore Sewing, a place where the sewing and quilting community could once again enjoy discovering beautiful fabrics without breaking the bank.

With our mom's love and knowledge of sewing and quilting leading the way, the rest of us help keep things running and bring new ideas to life. We're proud to be building a place where creativity, community, and family come together. Whether you've been quilting for years or are just beginning, we can't wait to welcome you into our shop.

Stop by our Indianapolis storefront for personal, bolt-matched guidance from creators who speak your language.
