We’re SEW excited to announce our next Sew-A-Thon…

Sew for Sustainable Stores! (S4SS)

As a part of Cuyahoga County’s Sustainable Stores program, we’re working with Cleveland retailers to provide their customers with reusable bags–handmade locally from waste fabric!

Help us divert both fabric and plastic waste while sewing the social fabric of our community.

Volunteer workshop hours are at our facility in the St. Clair-Superior neighborhood of Cleveland. Join us on Fridays in the month of June from 10am-2pm. Workshops is led by our stellar volunteer, former, student, inspiring artist, and all around incredible human being, Van! Register HERE!

In partnership with…
