Sustainable Sewing Studio and Community Craft Hub

Located in Hamilton's Textile District we are proud to be your one stop shop for deadstock reclaimed textiles and locally sourced handmade goods, crafts, and vintage.

Our main objective is to get people crafting, sustainably and without barriers. In addition to inexpensive deadstock and vintage fabrics we also offer free sewing patterns, fabric scraps for crafting, and an ever revolving community cart of FREE fabric. Our domestic and industrial machines are available to rent or join us for a private lesson or small workshop. A portion of all of our workshop sales are directed to support local charities and community initiatives.
