About Us
Who we are
The Sewing Lab is the retail arm of Twin Starr Tailoring Shop. We are a small team of women working with cooperatives and other small businesses to sew ideas to life, to serve our community and to glorify God.
What we do
We provide a sustainable manufacturing platform by doing the following:
- Using local fibers, fabric offcuts, deadstock or reclaimed fabric for functional items and upcycled items
- Sewing in small batches & Optimizing use of fabrics
- Providing semi-custommade items
How it began
The Sewing Lab by birthed in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This was the time when the demand for our services for school uniforms had gone close to zero. It was initially birthed out of the need to support the sewists and staff alike. In the middle of it, however, we realized that we are serving our community by providing options to express creativity while also engaging in conscious consumption of resources.
With our years of experience in sewing and handling fabric, we were able to craft ways to optimize fabric consumption, reduce waste, and upcycle while at the same time producing some good and wonderful.
Now, we're ready to share this to more people.
