SUMMARY:Lovely's Sewing & Arts Collective
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends\, Partners & Supporters\, \nWe’re thrilled to invite you to a very special celebration!\nPlease Save the Date for the Grand Opening of Lovely’s Sewing & Arts Collective’s Retail & Makers Space at our brand-new location inside the IDS Center on the Skyway Level. \n 80 S. 8th Street\, Minneapolis\, MN 55402\n Monday\, November 17\, 2025\n 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM \nThis grand opening marks not only the start of a new chapter but also the continuation of our Sweet 16th Business Anniversary! Over the past 16 years\, Lovely’s Sewing & Arts Collective has taught more than 1\,000 people the trade skill of sewing — empowering youth\, teens\, and adults through creativity\, entrepreneurship\, and community. For me personally\, this moment is deeply full circle. At 17\, I worked in the IDS Center and dreamed of one day having a space there. Now\, at 45\, that dream has come true — and I couldn’t be more grateful to share it with all of you. \nWhat is a Retail & Makerspace?\nOur new location is a Creative Hub for creativity\, commerce\, and community. In the Retail Space\, you’ll find beautiful items created by our students — youth\, teens\, and adults who sew at Lovely’s — as well as handcrafted pieces by local Twin Cities artists featured on our Lovely Friends Wall. In the Makerspace\, you can come in to create something for yourself or a loved one — a purse\, coin pouch\, greeting card or small handmade items. A portion of each Maker’s experience supports scholarships for underserved families to take sewing classes.You can also take a picture at our Pay-It-Forward Selfie Wall\, which will feature a new themed\, enchanting design each month to inspire connection and joy. \nThis new home in the IDS is more than a space — it’s a Community Hub for growth\, creativity\, and togetherness\, one stitch at a time. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
