Support Youth Slow Fashion Education!

This fall, Slow Stitch Detroit is launching Bringing Home Economics Back, a new hands-on fashion and sewing program in two Detroit public schools, in addition to ongoing Youth Fashion Lab afterschool program at Slow Stitch.

Students will learn to sew, mend, design, and think differently about the clothes they wear while building creativity, confidence, practical life skills, and a deeper understanding of caring for people and the planet.

We're inviting our community to help make this possible.

This summer, we're raising $10,000 in matching funds to support the launch of this new school program while strengthening the artists, educators, youth programming, and creative foundation that make this work possible. We’re grateful to Michigan Arts & Culture Council for providing this matching grant opportunity.

With your support, we'll be able to:

• Launch our pilot program in Detroit public schools this fall.

• Continue year-round youth programming at Slow Stitch Detroit.

• Develop a curriculum that can grow to reach more schools in Detroit and beyond.

Every gift, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to giving more young people the opportunity to create with their hands, solve problems creatively, and discover the confidence that comes from making something themselves.

If you believe every child deserves access to creative, hands-on education, we'd be honored to have you join us.
