Project Regina is a textile manufacturing company that has a focus on sewing for heavy-duty and industrial materials including heavy-duty carpeting, PVC, Velcro (hook and loop), canvas, and ballistic nylon. The company was founded in 1976 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.

The company was started as a free home sewing class for low-income refugee and immigrant women. The company started as a non-profit that grew to meet the demands and help fashion change in society. The company works with CAPI and its supporting enterprise of Regina Designs to connect the talents and aspirations of people with the skills and opportunities to be secure in the industry.

They cut and sew apparel, table top accessories, home furnishings, crafts, accessories, bags, along with other industrial items. They specialize in providing and helping for startups, small quantities, and produce textiles. The company works with people who have experience sewing in the classroom and that work with students, volunteers that work with English language learning workplaces, and with those that can help organize events and fundraising.
