City Sewing Room is a nonprofit community sewing center located in South St. Louis. With a mission to Stitch - Teach - Share, our community space is used both by drop-in sewists and students participating in our sewing and quilting classes. Our Makers' Mart sells donated fabric, notions, and sewing machines to the public at highly discounted prices.
Since 2016, we’ve been a vibrant hub for sewing enthusiasts, fostering creativity and connection. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit since 2020, we teach 75-100 children and adults weekly, engage more than a dozen volunteers each day, and offer affordable fabrics in our Makers’ Mart.
We process roughly 1,700 pounds of fabric and sewing materials each week, much of which would otherwise end up in landfills. We then resell most of the fabric and items to the community in our Makers' Mart for only $2 a pound!
Our youth sewing classes spread the love of sewing, quilting, and fiber arts to a new generation, and we are proud to support the fantastic maker community in St. Louis!
We depend on the generosity of people like you! Support CSR on Give STL Day to help provide a welcoming space for all where learning is accessible to everyone. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, your donation may be tax deductible. Thank you for donating and helping us Stitch - Teach - Share!
Our mission is simple: Stitch - Teach - Share. Join us and be part of a vibrant community dedicated to creativity, sustainability, and learning. City Sewing Room is a supportive and fun community that expresses our values of welcoming all, inspiring creativity, providing accessibility, modeling resourcefulness, and readily learning from each other.
