Customer Love
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.

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.
- Emily
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.
