🌟 Student Spotlight: Brenna T. 🌟

We are so proud of our Sewing and Fitting Mentor students who entered garments in 4-H and will be featured in the MN State Fair's Creative Activities building this year! Sharing your handmade work takes courage, dedication, and confidence.

A special congratulations to Brenna T., who began her sewing journey with us in Fall 2025. After discovering a love for sewing, she received her own sewing machine for her birthday! Since then, her hard work and determination have earned her Grand Champion, Reserve Champion, Blue Ribbons, and a Purple Ribbon, with her garments advancing to the Minnesota State Fair 4-H Building!

Way to go, Brenna! We can't wait to see what you create next!

Are you dealing with a messy sewing room or unsure what some of your older fabric is? We’ve been using the Kylie and the Machine Fabric ID Tape in the studio and have found it super helpful for organizing fabric!

It’s available for purchase in the studio for anyone looking to sort their stash during spring cleaning. This tape is a great way to identify your fabric after you get it home, and it goes into your stash before getting sewn up right away. You'll never have to wonder:
“Have I already pre-washed this?” or “What fiber is this fabric?” ever again...

This tape has sections to mark the following information:
✏️ Fiber Content
✏️ Width & Length of Fabric
✏️ Where it was sourced from
✏️ Pre-washed? Y/N
✏️ Plus a section for Notes
