Our hearts are overflowing after Saskatchewan Fash

Our hearts are overflowing after Saskatchewan Fashion Week! Our Soaring Circle team gathered in #Saskatoon from all across Saskatchewan, BC and Quebec to attend the Design Legacies conference and the ICON Indigenous Runway show. Thank you to all of our youth designers and their teachers for making the trek to Saskatoon!This was also a wonderful opportunity for our Youth Ambassador @summertestawich to showcase her blanket design from our #Woven label in collaboration with @mini.tipiWe want to say a huge thank you to Mandy Pravda, Carlie Letts and the team at @saskfashion.and @siitlive for making this opportunity a reality for the Indigenous youth living in remote communities. We also want to thank Athabasca Denesuline Education Authority, Hatchet Lake Denesuline First Nation (Wollaston Lake), Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation and Witchekan Lake First Nation for supporting this opportunity for their youth.There is much to come from this event (yes including video from the runway)and we can't wait to keep sharing. Our #Sewcase program is soaring to new heights!🪡🧡🧵🪡🧡🧵🪡🧡🧵🪡🧡🧵🪡🧡🧵🪡🧡🧵#iconindigenousrunway #indigenousfashion #sewcase #saskatchewanfashionweek #saskfashion #soaringcircle #WollastonLake #hatchetlakefirstnation #summertestawich #ahtahkakoopcreenation #witchekanlakefirstnation #indigenousyouth #siit #janome #janomecanada #evolugen #manitoulintransport #pvh #americaneagle #sewing #educationmatters

We want to say a huge thanks to the @canadian_quilters for sending us hard copies of their current magazine which features our Sewcase program!We really appreciate all the support in getting the word out about our new Sew Shapes Campaign! The campaign in collaboration with @janomecanada allows all Canadians a chance to support our program AND if you don't have fabrics to donate/cut you can also support your favourite #Janome retailer by purchasing a gift card through Soaring Circle!https://canadianquilter.com/sewcase/#janomecanada #janome #canadianquilter #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #canadianquiltermagazine #IndigenousYouth #sewing #soaringcircle #sewcase #sewcasesewshapes

What a night! We have so much to share from @saskf

What a night! We have so much to share from @saskfashion week, but today we want to celebrate four amazing sewing, textiles and culture teachers from three communities in Saskatchewan who gathered last night to uplift and support their students!These teachers are the heart of our program, and we want to recognize their dedication to creating opportunities for youth in their communities. Time and again, we have seen these educators prioritize their students, often going above and beyond by working beyond their regular hours to ensure that students don't miss out on experiences that will help shape their future.Thank you Marcy Whitefish & Natalie Tait (Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation), Cheryl Thomas (Witchekan Lake First Nation) and Rita Kkalthair (Hatchet Lake Denesuline First Nation - Wolllaston Lake)!We also want to thank Athabasca Denesuline Education Authority and the Hatchet Lake Denesuline First Nation chief and council for supporting this trip for 3 of their students. Many people don't know the true costs involved in creating opportunities for our friends in the North. It takes a village!#iconindigenousrunway #indigenousfashion #sewcase #saskatchewanfashionweek #saskfashionweek #soaringcircle #WollastonLake #hatchetlakefirstnation #indigenousyouth #siit #saskatoon #witchekanlakefirstnation #ahtahkakoopcreenation #janome #janomecanada #evolugen #manitoulintransport #pvh #americaneagle #sewing #education

We believe that success is measured by how well your community is doing. We want to inspire the next generation to dream big, be proud of who they are, and celebrate their talents, gifts, and culture.

We had a great time at the Trade and Tech Day in Tisdale, SK with @skillscansask on Wednesday! Our program coordinator Jenny had the chance to share our program and her journey into sewing and textiles and students had a chance to come and try a #Janome sewing machine at our booth!Soaring Circle is proud to partner with Skills Canada Saskatchewan to bring new opportunities to Indigenous youth through healthy competition and mentorship. These events help develop skills, foster new friendships and meet professionals working in the trades.Tisdale Middle and Secondary School partners with the Kinistin Salteaux Nation. The goal of their Kinawind Partnership is to create a mutually beneficial and respectful relationship between Kinistin Salteaux Nation and the North East School Division. In the spirit of reconciliation, this Partnership builds on the strengths of both partners in providing greater opportunities for all children and youth.We were excited to connect with both the sewing teacher and the new culture and language teachers to find out how #Sewcase can support them going forwards!Stay tuned for announcements for the Northern Regional and Provincial Ribbon Skirt and Beading competitions for 2025!#partnership #skillscanada #skillscanadasaskatchewan #soaringcircle #sewing #textiles #trades #tisdale #tisdalesaskatchewan #Indigenousyouth #Janome #janomecanada Janome Canada
