Minneapolis Public Schools

This class is for students who are proficient working on a sewing machine, understand how to follow patterns and can work mostly independently. Students will take their sewing to the next level. Open Studio will allow students to work on projects of their choice and supply them with sewing machines, supplies and expertise. Students can make clothes, bags, stuffed animals, pillows, clothing patches and more. The sky is the limit! This class is led by Ms. Michelle who is a community artist, teacher and former fashion designer. This class is also open to embroiderers who want to have space to work on embroidery projects. 

• Note: Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When families participate at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable.
