Sew Loka Day!!! ๐งต๐ชกโจ Thirteen years ago, with a six-month-old baby girl and a head full of dreams, we opened the doors to Sew Loka. Today, those doors led us to the San Diego City Council chambers, where the City of San Diego officially proclaimed February 13th as Sew Loka Day ๐๐ฝ
This shop gives our whole family purpose, and moments like this remind us why we pour everything we have into it. We were not born in San Diego โ but this city is our home. It has embraced us, believed in us, and held us up in ways we could never fully express. To our friends, family, and community who have had our backs since day one: this proclamation belongs to you, too. It will be our lifelong duty to repay this city by giving back and making a positive impact on this generation and the next ๐๐ฝ๐ฏ
Join us Saturday, February 14th to celebrate Sew Loka Day and experience โLove, Alwaysโ โ the first solo art show by the incredibly talented Selena Idioma. From 12pmโ8pm, our studio will be filled with art, music, coffee, an exclusive tote bag drop, and hands-on interactive activities for the whole family. This is a day of love, creativity, and community โ and we want to see YOU!!! ๐
And also mark your calendars for the following Saturday, February 21st, for โSew Rebellious: Where Creativity Meets Causeโ โ a fundraiser workshop series in collaboration with Gabriela Ponce Curlango right here at the studio Our goal? To raise $3K in one day for the ACLU through back-to-back tote bag sewing workshops featuring a one-day-only, limited edition patch design. 100% of proceeds go directly to the ACLU. Sign-up links are in our bio โ more details coming soon โ๐ฝ
