We are always looking for people who want to be creative with textiles destined for landfill.

You can help, whether you:

  • have lots of time to spare or just a little

  • enjoy working in like-minded company or prefer working at home

  • are highly skilled or simply keen to learn

Work Sessions

11/20 Forests Road, Stoke, Nelson 7011

Every Tuesday 1pm– 4pm

Every Wednesday 10am - 1pm

Every Friday 10am – 1pm

First Saturday of each month 1pm - 4pm

Attendance is flexible and volunteers can come when it suits them. These sessions are social as well as productive. Volunteers can share what they’ve made, ask questions, bounce ideas off each other, learn, chat and enjoy a cup of tea. If you prefer you can take materials and work from home or do a mix.

At a typical session, volunteers work on simple repairs, more complex repairs like visible mending or machined repairs, sewing new items out of rescued fabric, upcycling or deconstructing garments. You may have crafts like knitting, crochet, applique, patchwork, quilting, embroidery we can use.
