In 2023 we provided On the Job Training to 5 of our seamstresses. They each had the opportunity to grow their skill set and learn how to create their own designs using our state of the art software. From draping to digital pattern making, they brought their designs to the runway at our annual Fashion Show Fundraiser. This skill set among our staff; allows us to offer design services to assist our customers to be production ready. Bring your idea and we can help it come to life!

The staff at The Collective Thread are constantly learning. We allow everyone the opportunity to try new things and elevate their earnings and position. It is crucial to stay relevant to our industry and continue to offer excellent service and quality to our customers. We believe that knowledge should not be siloed or harbored by just a few. We are raising up a workforce that will allow the business of Fashion to grow in St. Louis.

Bring your large or small production to us and we guarantee you will be more than satisfied with our prompt service and quality finishes.
