Sew Stitchy

Sew Stitchy is a fiber-arts program where teens learn and practice traditional and contemporary forms as a means to explore cultural identity, labor and social issues. Teens learn about marketing, merchandising, self-promotion skills and business plans, which will prepare them to sell their goods in the future. Teens will delve into sewing, knitting, crocheting and the handmade/DIY world, and learn about craft fairs and what it takes to put one together. They will develop their personal style and focus on the creation of one product. The final project will be a presentation on each one-of-a-kind handcrafted product, business plan and results.
