Looking for a peaceful way to spend your morning? Drop the busy routine and join Fiona in the studio today from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM for some relaxing, creative self-care.

Hand stitching is widely known to be an incredible tool for mental health, it slows down the mind, encourages mindfulness, and lets you focus on the simple, tactile joy of creating. Plus, doing it in the company of a warm, welcoming community makes it even better.

Whether you’re working on a detailed embroidery project, doing some visible mending, or just want to try out some gentle slow-stitching techniques, there is a space at the table for you.

☕️ The best part? The kettle is on, and cozy cups of tea are fully provided.

When: Today (Saturday), 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Where: In the studio at Stitch Kitchen, 474 Princes Street

Bring whatever project you have on the go, or just bring yourself. We can’t wait to sit, stitch, and chat with you! 🪡✨

Have you noticed how increasingly difficult it is to get your hands on a physical, printed sewing pattern these days?

With everything shifting online, the sewing world has largely moved to PDFs. While digital patterns are great, not everyone wants to spend their evening taping together 40 pages of A4 paper, wrestling with a projector, or paying hefty print-shop fees just to get started on a project. There is something special, and practicalabout opening up a crisp, full-sized tissue or paper pattern, tracing your size, and getting straight to the cutting table.

If you’re craving that classic, tactile pattern-browsing experience, we have some fantastic news: we have a treasury of paper patterns waiting for you in the studio at Stitch Kitchen! 🏢✨

Thanks to our wonderful community, our shelves are stocked with a diverse, curated collection of paper patterns, including:

The Classics: Vintage gems and retro silhouettes that you can't find anywhere online.

Modern Staples: Wardrobe basics, everyday essentials, and easy-to-hack commercial patterns.

Unique Finds: From intricate costumes to indie designers and kids' clothing.

Not only does choosing a pattern from our collection save you the digital headache, but it also aligns perfectly with our waste reduction goals by keeping excellent, pre-loved resources in circulation and out of the landfill. 🌍💚

📍 Find us at: 474 Princes Street, Dunedin
👉 Pop into the studio during our open hours, chat with our team, and find your next perfect project the old-school way!

Did you miss out on Pattern Making this term? Don't worry, we got you!

Our pattern making class was so popular, it sold out, and then some! Due to popularity we have scheduled another pattern making class for next term. With traditional paper patterns disappearing off of shelves, there has never been a better time to learn the skills of drafting and modifying your own patterns.

Buy your tickets here! https://events.humanitix.com/pattern-making-class-term-three
