A Makerspace for Fashion Rebels & Creative Souls in Duluth, MN
Classes. Tools. Services. Community. Rebel Threads is where your next project—and creative confidence—comes to life.
What We Do (and Why It Matters)
Teach & Empower
We teach sewing as a tool for self-expression, sustainability, and skill-building—not perfection. Our classes are about showing up, trying things, and discovering what you're capable of with your own two hands.
Examples:
Sewing 101: From machine basics to wearable projects
Fashion as Identity workshops
Summer camps for kids and teens
Design & Outfit
We help people dress like their fullest selves—on stage, on screen, or in real life. Whether you’re renting a costume, building a custom piece, or playing dress-up with purpose, our work is about creative confidence and visibility.
Examples:
Costume rentals from our 5,000+ piece archive
Custom design for theater, drag, and special events
Styling for photo shoots, promos, or everyday flair
Equip & Collaborate
We provide the space, tools, and community to make your ideas real. This is where makers come together, experiments happen, and collaboration turns into creative fire.
Examples:
Hourly machine + workspace rentals
Sip-and-sew parties and creative co-working
Artist residencies + collaborative community projects
Who
we are
Rebel Threads is a fashion maker space built for misfits, makers, and magic.
We teach bold classes, rent out wild costumes, and provide pro-level tools for people who want to make something real—no perfection required. Whether you're sewing for stage, style, or survival, we’ve got the space, the gear, and the grit.
Founded by costume designer Sasha Howell, Rebel Threads is stitched together by values like creative reuse, skill liberation, and community over competition. Come as you are. Make something messy. Make something that matters.
