✨ Why “Once Upon a Stitch”?
Because every great story begins with imagination.
“Once Upon a Stitch” celebrates the dreamers — the youth, teens, and adults who dare to create, design, and walk boldly in their own story. From aspiring designers to future entrepreneurs, this runway is a reminder that creativity is a real trade skill and imagination builds futures.
So, tell us:
What character will YOU bring to life for the night?
The crowd is part of the magic. The audience is the vibe.
We will select 8 guests from the audience to take the RUNWAY and become part of the story.
🎭 Fashion with Purpose
Your ticket is more than entry — it is an investment.
Because of your support at our Spring show, we provided free sewing and entrepreneurship programming to 74 youth across the Twin Cities this year.
Our next goal?
To serve 250 more youth and families by Spring 2026.
The demand for sewing education and creative trade skills is growing. With your support, we can continue expanding access to:
• Hands-on sewing instruction
• Entrepreneurship education
• Financial literacy
• Workforce development skills
• Safe, inspiring creative space
When you attend, you help fund opportunity.
