Customer Love

Thank you for creating this shop that has added to so many sewers aspirations.

Upon entering the shop, there is a calm beautiful space to shop and create. It has an "old soul". From the store layout to the energy I feel. The ladies greet each customer with genuine interest! The support you all give and the belief in my beginner skills are met with support and validation.

It’s a safe place to explore individual creative vision. The quality and selection fabric helps to create the overall vibe.

So much love for Lakes Makerie and all their staff

The most charming neighborhood sewing shop. I am so happy this little place exists. They have beautiful, quality fabric and sewing supplies and are super helpful when I have gone in with questions for projects I am working on.

Lakes Makerie is a delight

I started sewing classes at Lakes Makerie because I wanted to learn skills to be able to mend my clothes. Little did I know that I would discover a new hobby that would give me so much joy. Add in supportive teachers, a world-class fabric selection, and community of makers— Lakes Makerie is a delight.

About Sarah, Lakes Makerie Founder

A creative family. A labor of love.

I’ve been sewing since I was old enough to hold a needle and thread, but life had other plans. Founding Lakes Makerie in 2018 brought me closer to myself, my loved ones, and the present. We hope it’s a nurturing space for you, too.
