The School of Making Club is an online community that brings makers together through shared learning and resources. As our community expands, we’re making a few small updates that will help us continue to support this work.⁠

Stay tuned for updates to The Club, which will offer new and expanded content, in the coming weeks.⁠

Beginning on January 5th, 2026, The Club will transition to two membership options:⁠

- Basic ($5/month or $60 annually)⁠
- Unlimited ($28/month or $300 annually)⁠

As part of these updates, the Essential plan ($20/month) will be discontinued. Members currently enrolled in Essential can upgrade to Unlimited for full access or move to Basic to stay connected at a lower rate.⁠

These membership fees support the time, resources, and creative labor that go into developing patterns, content, and shared learning for our community. Even a nominal fee helps us maintain a secure space, improve the platform, and offer more meaningful tools and experiences for makers.⁠

What makes fabric from The School of Making so special?⁠

Our medium-weight jersey is crafted from 100% organic cotton. It's known for its soft, smooth texture that's a joy to sew and wear, with a gentle stretch that offers structure and shape. ⁠

And from field to finished cloth, every step is American-made. The cotton is grown, spun, knit, and dyed in the U.S., supporting the makers and mills who keep our textile traditions alive. ⁠
