Happy New Year- 2026
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.
Introducing the Fashion Makers Collective
We are thrilled to officially announce the launch of our Fashion Makers Collective in 2026. This new community-forward initiative is designed for garment sewists, textile artists, and fashion-forward makers who want to learn, create, and grow together.
The Fashion Makers Collective will include specialized classes, skill-building workshops, open sew opportunities, and collaborative projects focused on garment construction, fit, fabric selection, and finishing techniques. Whether you’re sewing your first handmade wardrobe piece or refining your design skills, this collective is about connection, creativity, and confidence at the machine. More details are coming soon—and we cannot wait to see what you create.
National Quilting Month Is Just Around the Corner
March brings National Quilting Month, and we are already stitching together plans to celebrate in a big way. Expect special events, community sew-ins, inspiring projects, and a spotlight on the art, history, and heart of quilting. Quilting has always been about more than fabric—it’s about storytelling, comfort, tradition, and community.
Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just starting your journey, National Quilting Month is the perfect time to try something new, meet fellow quilters, and immerse yourself in the joy of creating.
The Sew Downtown Digest
If you haven’t picked one up yet, be sure to grab the latest Sew Downtown Digest. Our Digest is packed with inspiration—class highlights, project ideas, fabric features, puzzles, stories, and seasonal creativity. It’s one more way we stay connected with our community and share what’s happening in the shop and beyond.
Looking ahead, the Digest will continue to grow alongside Sew Downtown, reflecting the makers, stories, and creativity that make this place so special.
Looking Ahead
As we move into 2026, our focus remains the same: supporting makers, building community, and creating a welcoming space where creativity thrives. From expanding our fabric offerings to adding new classes and experiences, we are committed to being your go-to creative home in Northern Colorado.
Thank you for stitching alongside us, for supporting local, and for bringing your creativity through our doors. Here’s to a year filled with inspiration, connection, and beautiful makes.
Happy New Year from all of us at Sew Downtown. 🧵✨
