Happy New Year, Makers — Welcome to 2026 at Sew Downtown

There’s something special about the beginning of a new year. The clean slate. The fresh ideas. The quiet promise that this might be the year you finally start that dream project, try a new technique, or say yes to more creative time. As we step into 2026, all of us at Sew Downtown want to wish you a heartfelt Happy New Year and thank you for being part of our creative community.

This year is shaping up to be one of our most exciting yet.

As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, there’s something magical about the shift into autumn and winter. We trade in the long, sun-soaked afternoons for cozy evenings, steaming mugs of tea, and warm blankets. It’s the season to slow down, hibernate a little, and indulge in the simple joys of home. And for quilters, there’s no better way to embrace the season than by gathering around fabric, thread, and a shared love for creating.

There’s something magical about the fall sewing season. The crisp air, warm drinks, and cozy fabrics call us back to our sewing tables with renewed inspiration. This time of year is perfect for starting projects that you can enjoy now—and still love well into the new year. Whether you’re sewing for yourself, your home, or for gifts, here are some ideas to spark your creativity.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Sew Downtown Digest, a brand-new quarterly magazine curated with love by our team here at Sew Downtown! Whether you're a longtime member of our creative community or just discovering your passion for sewing, this digest is your go-to resource for inspiration, education, and connection

For more than two decades, Sew Downtown has been the heartbeat of the sewing and quilting community in Northern Colorado and Wyoming.
