MADE Sewing Studio

About

Seven years ago Carisa Brunner had a vision to introduce the fine art of sewing to children and adults. Knowing that this skill is no longer taught in the schools but believing that children and adults would want to learn such a skill, she launched MADE Sewing Studio in Seattle, WA. Carisa brought her passion and expertise for sewing directly into the public and private school system and was an immediate success. Parents were registering their kids for her after school classes. Soon she started running summer and holiday camps in schools, churches, community centers and other locations, and even offered (sewing) birthday parties (a huge hit).

Today Carisa offers her after-school classes in 35 schools and other locations and has thousands of kids participating in her classes, camps and birthday parties.
