EXPLORE THE CATEGORIES
DIY SEWING KITS
The School of Making offers DIY Kits made for makers: pre-cut, pre-stenciled, and with all the thread and notions needed to create a garment made for you, by you. Explore an assortment of inspirations, accessories, and designs that will help you curate your ideal sustainable wardrobe.
MAKER SUPPLIES + STENCILS
Explore tools and materials to inspire and create your next project. Our curated selection of notions, tools, and stencils is chosen with makers in mind. Use these products in tandem with our DIY Sewing Kits and Studio Book Series.
STUDIO BOOKS + PATTERNS
The School of Making books are comprehensive guides to processes and techniques for hand-making garments and home goods. Use them in conjunction with our DIY Sewing Kits. We choose to open source our methods and patterns to aid in our efforts to make our products more accessible to a wider audience. The School of Making is a natural outgrowth of the book series and our desire to maintain a sustainable, multi-faceted business.
WORKSHOPS
Founded on the ideas of cultural preservation through education, The School of Making is our platform for an open exchange of ideas, maker skills, supply chain transparency, and education. We invite you to be a part of the growing movement and join us at one of our workshops at The Factory or away—for a unique learning experience with our team.
