Emipeli Sewing Club
-
For curious kids, tiny makers & future designers
Learn to sew, construct mini garments and learn new skills every month. Create something completely your own.
Emipeli Sewing Club is a monthly sewing subscription for kids who want to learn how to actually make their own clothes, not just craft, but create.
Each month, members receive a curated kit filled with reclaimed fabrics, garment patterns, and tools to build real sewing skills from the ground up. Starting with the basics and gradually moving into more complex techniques, kids learn how to construct clothing, experiment with design, and develop confidence through making.
The first month includes a full starter kit with everything needed to begin, from needles and thread to a handmade fabric doll created from recycled materials. From there, each month builds on the last, introducing new stitches, techniques, and details like buttons and clasps, while encouraging creative freedom and play.
We work with excess and secondhand materials wherever possible, teaching kids the value of reuse, repair, and thoughtful design. Every kit includes more fabric than needed, so there’s always space to explore, remix, and make something uniquely their own.
Alongside the physical kits, members get access to a library of step-by-step tutorials and “trouble starter” videos, designed to help kids problem solve, experiment, and keep going when things don’t go perfectly.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about learning by doing, making a mess, and creating something you’re proud of.
PLEASE NOTE Month one will be posted Mid May 2026
