Youth Fashion Design Lab: Ages 8-10 (Fridays in July & August)
About this Event
Slow Stitch Detroit Youth Fashion Design Lab
Ages 7–18 | Weekly Drop-In Class
Join us this summer at Slow Stitch Detroit for our Youth Summer Fashion Lab. Whether your child is picking up a needle & thread for the first time or already loves to create, this welcoming studio is a place to explore, experiment, and build new skills. No experience is required.
Students learn the fundamentals of sewing and fashion design while developing their own creative projects with guidance from our teaching artists. We provide all sewing machines, tools, materials, and instruction, helping each student turn their ideas into finished creations.
This is a flexible weekly drop-in class, allowing students to continue working on their projects from week to week at their own pace.
Classes are led by Slow Stitch Designer in Residence Sydney Levy, a graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York City. Along the way, students are introduced to the principles of slow fashion—learning how thoughtful design, creativity, and craftsmanship can help care for both people and the planet.
At Slow Stitch Detroit, we're committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where young people feel at home, build confidence, make new friends, and express their unique creativity through fashion.
Class size limited to 10 students.
Tenacity Craft is right across the street. Drop your kids off and go have some time to yourself! :)
Our Approach Emphasizes:
• Skill-building through finished projects
• Confidence, resilience & creative problem-solving
• Positive body image & self-expression
• Sustainable thinking & environmental responsibility
• The legacy and innovation of African American designers & icons
