Madee

Hi! 👋🏼 I'm Madee, owner of Open Studio Sewing, and a lifelong sewist who has always loved wearing something unique. :) I'm here to offer guidance and encouragement as you sew your first ever garment or level up your skills.

 

I studied Apparel Technologies at Minneapolis College and have been teaching sewing since 2023. I'm obsessed with cutesy prints, keeping up to date on all the newest sewing patterns, and wandering around town enjoying patio season. If you have any questions about our shop or need sewing recommendations, let me know (I love to gab).

Sarah

I'm Sarah, and I've been a quilter and sewist for my whole life. My mom taught me how to sew when I was young, and I've been hooked ever since! I love to play with color and patterns, and creating something new and unique with my own hands is endlessly satisfying. It brings me joy to introduce people to sewing and give them the confidence to dive into this fun, empowering, and creative art form. There's nothing better than someone asking where you purchased something and getting to say "thanks, I actually made it!"

I am also the owner and artist behind Stone Fruit Creative, where I make one-of-a-kind quilted clothing and accessories. When I'm not sewing (or thinking about sewing), I love reading, finding the next best patio for happy hour with friends, and planning for my next knitting project. 

Taylor

Hi, I'm Taylor! I've been sewing my whole life, since my mom and grandma taught me when I was little. I adore cultivating a handmade wardrobe out of fun fabrics, interesting patterns, and a whole lotta love. I’m passionate about helping others build the skills to do the same. I especially love working on those little finishing details, like a nice bias bound edge, functional zipper fly, or cute little pocket.  Whether you are just getting started or looking to refine your skills, let's sew together!

When I'm not sewing, you'll find me knitting, reading, cuddling one of my four pets, digging in my garden, or watching true crime documentaries.
