Our Vision
We are working toward a future where Spokane becomes a hub for ethically made, locally produced clothing—a place where craftsmanship is honored, living wages are standard, and creative women have the tools and support to thrive.
Our dream is to establish a small-batch manufacturing studio that practices:
Fair Trade production
Living wages for workers
Eco-conscious methods
Local economic growth
Because when women have access to skills, community, and opportunity, they don’t just sew garments—they stitch powerful new futures for themselves and their families.
Our Story
When our founder, Shweta 'Cricket' Green, moved to Spokane, she noticed something missing. While quilting had a strong local following, there were few—if any—accessible avenues for learning sewing, fashion design, or garment construction.
Even local colleges and trade schools didn’t offer sewing or apparel-related programs.
What she did find were bridal alteration jobs offering minimum wage and two local manufacturing companies with limited roles. There were few options for people passionate about sewing to turn their skills into careers—or even explore the craft at all.
While searching for seamstresses, Shweta connected with local refugee organizations. That spark of connection—and a shared need—became the seed for Sew She Can.
