What’s On
Drop In
We are open for drop-in visits every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 3pm.
During these hours the Thread Shed is staffed by our wonderful volunteers who are there to welcome you, show you our facilities and offer helpful sewing advice.
You're welcome to drop in and see what we're doing, or look at the Schedule below to find an activity you're interested in.
We have Stitch Socials, Sewing Classes, Workshops and Special Events too, check out the below Schedule for upcoming activities.
Our sewing machines are available for community use. We request a $5 donation per 2 hours, to cover servicing costs. This is a great way to try out sewing without having to buy your own machine.
Stitch Social (every Friday)
1pm-3pm
Stitch Social is a relaxed and friendly weekly gathering where you can bring along your own sewing project and enjoy a couple of creative hours in good company. Held each Friday* from 1–3pm, it’s the perfect chance to make progress on your work, share ideas, and connect with others. For all stages, beginner to advanced. Remember it’s about the journey not the destination!
*not including public holidays
