We Made This is a sewing, therapeutic arts, and psychosocial program for refugee and immigrant women.

We Made This (WMT) began in 2009 with a small group of women and a few sewing machines, born of a vision to create a safe, welcoming space for refugee women new to the Denver area.

Today, we remain true to our values of kinship, social justice, and empowerment, and continue to be committed to our mission to nurture creativity through community.

WMT has since developed into a comprehensive program that sewing skills while providing participants a safe and supportive space to strengthen communication abilities, form social connections, and practice overcoming language and cultural barriers.

The hand-sewn items made by the program are sold at local stores, markets, and craft fairs. Profits from these items help support our curriculum and provide supplemental income for our refugee artisans.
