FAQs:
Who are The Stitchery Collective?
The Stitchery Collective is Brisbane based design collective made up of 9 crafty friends + fashion enthusiasts. We’ve teamed up with SWOP because we love their approach to sustainable fashion, and we want to encourage a culture of mending, repairing and caring for your favourite clothes – so that you can enjoy them for longer!
What can I do at Sunday Stitch Lounge?
You can join us in a crafty environment to mend and alter clothing, or work on any of your own textile based creative projects.
What equipment is there?
We will provide 3 domestic sewing machines, 1 domestic overlocker, and plenty of thread, needles and pins. You will need to bring along your own fabric, buttons and zips.
Can you alter these pants for me?
Unfortunately no – whilst we are happy to offer advice and conversations, this is a stitch lounge environment where we provide the space and equipment, you bring the project and the muscle.
I don’t know how to sew – do you run classes or workshops?
Yes – The Stitchery Collective will be hosting some fashion and craft workshops in 2017 at SWOP. Let us know what you’d like to learn next time you are at SWOP – and watch this space. We can also make recommendations of sewing classes available in Brisbane.
Can I bring coffee?
Yes, we think that’s a great idea.
