Our Story
Welcome to Lakes Makerie, our new sewing studio, a creative work in progress. We are an online and real life source for beautiful materials to make beautiful things. We have built a maker's space that is nurturing, supportive and fun. We want you to come to us when you need to slow down, unplug and focus on creating something you love, with a needle and thread and your own two hands.
We hail from Minneapolis, Minnesota, otherwise know as the City of Lakes, in the Land of Sky Blue Waters. You'll find the texture and color of those lakes and waters running through just about everything here at Lakes Makerie. Dive into the creative process. Connect with friends, old and new. We'd love to have you join us.
