Stich by Stitch

Help launch Stitch Masters Sewing School! 

We want to bring the art and science of sewing to teens and adults. We give teens a head start into STEM careers by providing a framework to learn

• Algebra and Geometry
• 2D to 3D visualization and modeling
• Chemistry
• Materials Science
• Design Thinking

Adults are part of our strategy too! We provide adults with skills to succeed in current job markets, including

• Fitting and Alterations
• Costume Making/Wardrobe management
• Transforming traditional techniques into marketable art-fair goods
• Marketing and Entrepreneurship

We welcome people for one or two classes to level up their skills. Cosplayers, quilters, university students, and brand new beginners will all find helpful classes.

$45 for a high quality, fatigue-reducing task light

$100 for an industrial steam iron

$300 brings peace of mind with security cameras

$400 gets a customizable mannequin

$1000 covers a year's worth of shop supplies (bobbins, needles, thread, etc.)

$1400 is a month's rent and insurance

$2000 generously equips a dye station

Other startup needs include counter-height tables, cutting mats, pressing tools, garment racks, and fabric storage systems. Your donation will help pave the way to a professionally equipped studio for teaching and learning.
