The Sewing Labs in 2025

In 2024, The Sewing Labs community has sewn a tapestry of hope, creativity, and transformation. Check out what we have planned for 2025!

In 2024, we reached new heights by receiving approval to expand our Registered Apprenticeship Program into Kansas, opening doors for even more aspiring sewing professionals. Our partnerships and services continue to grow, bringing innovative community projects and support to those in need. We completed our first-ever external audit and finalized a strategic plan, both of which will guide us as we expand our programs to serve even more individuals in the coming year.

If you or someone you know is looking for a career in sewing, encourage them to apply today! 

Applications are now open for the next cohort of our Sewing Salon Training Program. This 30-week program trains participants to become Industrial Sewing Machine Operators, providing hands-on experience and job placement opportunities with local employer partners. The new cohort begins in early January. LEARN MORE & APPLY

Your support—through time, treasure, and talent empowers us to provide life-changing opportunities:
  • Time: Volunteer for community projects like sewing pillowcases, blankets, or beanies.
  • Treasure: Make a one-time or recurring donation. Individuals aged 70½+ can also direct their Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) to support our mission.
  • Talent: Share your sewing skills with us for special projects.
  • Services: Use our custom embroidery and quilt finishing services for high-quality results that support a local nonprofit.
