Kids learn the art of sewing

An essential skill that's mostly disappeared from public schools is still being taught at a Minneapolis studio. Lovely's Sewing & Arts Collective was founded by Keiona Cook 17 years ago. She teaches kids as young as six and adults as well. Cook has a studio in the North Loop neighborhood and a second location on the skyway level of the IDS building in downtown Minneapolis which also houses her first retail stop. There is an upcoming fashion show on Thursday, April 30th at Machine Shop Minneapolis. The fundraising event is called 'Once Upon a Stitch.'
