Sewing dreams come alive in Ditmas Park

A historic Ditmas Park home is about to become the heart of creativity and empowerment for Flatbush women and kids. The Altered Thread, founded by local designer Shanti Valme, is opening its doors this month—offering hands-on sewing classes for all ages and flexible opportunities for women to learn, earn, and connect. With classes from basic stitching to bridal design (plus Bengali-speaking instructors!), this space celebrates the neighborhood’s rich diversity. Imagine dropping your kids off to learn real skills or finally mastering that perfect fit. How do you think spaces like this can shape our community? #Education #DitmasPark #Flatbush
