2025 was the year plush monsters took over. 2026 is the year you bring them to life! From Labubus to homemades, the collectible creature army can be found hanging from backpacks, phones, and bags no matter where you live. Want to craft the fit that makes your tiny pal the best dressed beast on the block? Or have you still not joined the party? Either way, here's a chance to build a best friend or a specially tailored outfit for your mini-bestie with assistance from members of The New York City Sewing Center. A team of talented and passionate makers lead the way at this awesome all-ages Create-athon where you can forge your perfect plush BFF to take home, or whip up a killer lewk for the fuzzy guy of your dreams. Learn the basics of clothing design and construction, then make your custom piece a reality with help from the pros. Now that you're ready to show off the squad, stop by our animation station and project your buddy onto the digital stage with advanced AI programming. Little monsters, unite!

TLDR? Here’s the gist:

​• FREE event
​• Make art and meet new people
​• Ride solo or bring your friends
​• No prior experience required – just come through and we’ll teach you the rest!
​• Casual vibes make a great hangout
