Welcome to TISSU Sewing Studio, Fashion Arts education in the heART of Kansas. EST. 2014
Nestled inside downtown Wichita - inside the historic Orpheum Theatre - sits a charming slow fashion studio bringing back, with style, time-honored fashion crafts with a modern twist. Blink twice & you'll miss this local gem & eclectic nook of creativity. Meaning “fabric” in French, TISSU (pronounced Tís Sue) isn't your ordinary sewing school. We pride ourselves in honoring culture & tradition, yet pushing the limits in contemporary fashion design. We encourage our students to embrace conscious fashion & their curiosity, standing out from the crowd instead of blending in. We inspire them to imagine & create (with limited technology) utilizing only their minds, hearts & hands. We believe in handcrafting a more sustainable world where people, planet & peace are at the forefront.
Our goal is to introduce the art of sewing & fashion design to a new generation, empowering youth, teens & the young-at-heart through handcrafted traditions & creative self-expression. Our mindfulness approach embraces Slow Fashion & a unique focus on creative self-care & self-empowerment.
We offer an imaginative learning environment, innovative classroom projects & character-building programs in:
Sewing
Fashion Design
Sustainable Fashion
Mindful Makings (Art, Music, Yoga)
And don't forget about our SEWCIALS:
