I'm the proud owner of 20+ Sew Minimal products and they make my closet the most colorful and unique place. Every piece is made with love and great attention to detail.

My favorite purse is from here. Kelly is absolutely delightful. I love collecting fabric for her shop. The quality and love in each item in her shop is incredible.

Love this shop! Kelly is super sweet and her work is simply lovely. It's so nice supporting a local biz who's doing their part to make the world a little better through upcycling.

I love Sew Minimal. Their small, zipper purse bags got me through Nursing School!! I would hold all of my pens and pencils in them am throw them into backpack. Plus, they are super cute and represent NM.

I first met Ms. Kelly Minimal at her shop in old little town Square. Immediately I bought a small red roadrunner pencil bag (or pouch if you will)! I was attracted to her authenticity in creativity and thus bought a small tote and headband from her. I then got my boyfriend a pouch of his own and now we match. Kelly, in every encounter I've had with her-be it the rail yards, downtown growers market, and her private boutique has always been easy to talk to. She's genuinely an authentic artist in her field of upcycles. I'd say check out her website and see what Sew Minimal is all about. I think you'll like it.

I first saw Sew Minimal at a trade show in Santa Fe. Her sense of style and color as well as her sewing skills are amazing.

The items you buy here are unique! You’re not going to find them anywhere else! Not “cookie-cutter” here, at all! I love that everything is upcycled! I like the quality of the items I purchased and will go back! I recommend this shop to you!

Wonderful little store, worth searching for in Old Town! Creative merchandise that is useful and fun as well! Recycling at its best!

Love stopping in every time I'm in Old Town. A great place to buy gifts for my girlfriends, but usually I end up spending more on myself! 😉

Sew Minimal has always come through with my unique up-cycled clothing needs! Not only does she offer high quality sustainable clothing and accessories, but she is happy to create custom pieces! I love visiting Sew Minimal at her cute and cozy shop in Old Town to see what new inventory she has created. I would highly recommend checking her out 🙂

My daughter (9 years old) visited Sew Minimal while my husband and I were taking our wedding photos. She came back with a small purse and told me how the shop reuses fabric for all their designs. She is now saving up money for a children’s outfit. This store is a must-see in Old Town!
