No186 is all about the laughing, the chatter, the endless cups of tea and coffee, the creativity, the sharing of ideas, talent, stories, love. It's all about the young ones, the older ones, the somewhere in the middle ones. It's all about the freedom to be you, no matter what. It's about connecting in a safe, accepting, uplifting and forgiving space.
It's where All Kinds of Wonderful happens,
and everyone is welcome.
It's All About the Connection
If space is an issue, we have you covered! Hire our Snug for a quick sew in a fun space, or the White Room for bigger projects, or just come and join in the chaos in the Back Lounge. Machines galore, creative spirit overflowing, from cutting tables to everything else, we have it all ready for you.
Running a Workshop and need a venue? We hear you - our rates are affordable and flexible. Just give us a shout.
We are horrified how many treasured and loved sewing and knitting stashes end up in land fills when homes are cleared. No need to sort, we will take everything, machines included, no matter what condition. We will sort, recycle, mend, curate, donate on to other groups and treat that stash with dignity and love. And save our planet! Click the button to arrange a drop off or have us collect - no charge within fair driving distance and for treasures, we will travel !!!
