We’re an accessible, inclusive sewing studio designed for makers of all skill levels. We offer open shop hours where you can work on your own projects, use shared equipment, and spend time in community with other crafters. Think of it as a creative workspace and a place to hang out. We do open shop at 1304 University (upstairs) but also allow for community events to allow for all kinds of folks with various mobility needs.

Everyone. Beginners, experienced sewists, curious first-timers, old-timers hobbyists, professionals, and folks who just want a creative place to be. All genders, bodies, identities, abilities, and backgrounds are welcome here.

No experience is required for open shop hours. If you’re brand new, support is available for basic guidance, and we also offer beginner-friendly classes and workshops if you’d like more structured learning.

All you need is ability to learn how to mend, alter, fix and create wares.

Open shop hours are times when the studio is open for independent work with some support. You can bring your own project, use studio machines and tools, ask light questions, and connect with other makers in a relaxed environment.

You can use the machines in shop for 10$ for 2 hours or show up and create your own items (with your OWN machine, minimal notions and whatnot) for 5$.

We offer accessibily in cost as well as want to provide a space for folks to create in a supportive environment.

Yes. You don’t have to be constantly sewing to be here. Many folks come to knit, mend, sketch, cut fabric, chat, or simply enjoy being in a creative space with others.

We are committed to accessibility and are continually working to improve. The studio is unfortunately up two flights of stairs with no elevator access. However, we do offer workshops and open shop in locations around town to collaborate as well as offer abilities similar to our studio!

This is a social, community-oriented space. Conversation, collaboration, and casual noise are part of the environment. We do our best to maintain a respectful, welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

Age policies may vary by event. Some open shop hours and classes are for adults only, while others may be family-friendly. Please check the specific listing or contact us with questions.
