More than a fabric shop
Make
Classes, workshops and open sewing. Machines, overlockers, cutting tables and someone to ask.
Meet
Coffee mornings, knit & natter, social sewing. Turn up on your own, leave with people.
Give
Charity sewing sessions. Every stitch goes to somebody who needs it, and we supply the fabric.
And there's a shop
Two shops in one: donated fabric and haberdashery at op shop prices, and a handmade emporium of things our volunteers made. Everything's one-off. Everything funds the room.
Out and about
Bunnings family night — free craft, petting zoo, line dancing 
Our 5th birthday. Cake was demolished. 
Community day at Beenleigh 
Charity sewing — this month's project
The Lair pays the rent. The charity does the rest.
Every dollar from classes, the op shop and the emporium keeps these rooms open — and whatever's left goes into Sewing for Charity projects around Australia.
